Abstract

We study random perturbations of a Riemannian manifold \((\textsf{M},\textsf{g})\) by means of so-called Fractional Gaussian Fields, which are defined intrinsically by the given manifold. The fields \(h^\bullet : \omega \mapsto h^\omega \) will act on the manifold via the conformal transformation \(\textsf{g}\mapsto \textsf{g}^\omega := e^{2h^\omega }\,\textsf{g}\) . Our focus will be on the regular case with Hurst parameter \(H>0\) , the critical case \(H=0\) being the celebrated Liouville geometry in two dimensions. We want to understand how basic geometric and functional-analytic quantities like diameter, volume, heat kernel, Brownian motion, spectral bound, or spectral gap change under the influence of the noise. And if so, is it possible to quantify these dependencies in terms of key parameters of the noise? Another goal is to define and analyze in detail the Fractional Gaussian Fields on a general Riemannian manifold, a fascinating object of independent interest.

随机黎曼几何探索之旅

摘要我们通过所谓的分数高斯场（Fractional Gaussian Fields）来研究黎曼流形 \((\textsf{M},\textsf{g})\)的随机扰动，这些场是由给定流形内在定义的。场（h^/bullet : \omega \mapsto h^\omega \）将通过保角变换作用于流形（\textsf{g}\mapsto \textsf{g}^\omega := e^{2h^\omega }\,\textsf{g}\) 。我们的重点是具有赫斯特参数（H>0\）的正则情况，临界情况（H=0\）是二维中著名的柳维尔几何。我们想了解直径、体积、热核、布朗运动、频谱约束或频谱间隙等基本几何和函数分析量在噪声影响下是如何变化的。如果是这样，是否有可能根据噪声的关键参数对这些依赖性进行量化？另一个目标是详细定义和分析一般黎曼流形上的分数高斯场，这是一个令人着迷的独立兴趣对象。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
