We do so by measuring in two different ways the \"size\" of a topological generalization of the $delta$-covers of Sormani-Wei called \"entourage covers\". For Riemannian manifolds $M$ of dimension at least 3, we characterize entourage covers as those covers corresponding to the normal closures of finite subsets of $pi_{1}(M)$. We show that CS$subset$ES$subset$MLS and that for Riemannian manifolds these inclusions may be strict, where MLS is the set of lengths of curves that are shortest in their free homotopy classes. We give equivalent definitions for all of these spectra that do not actually involve lengths of curves. Of particular interest are resistance metrics on fractals for which there are no non-constant rectifiable curves, but where there is a reasonable notion of Laplace Spectrum (LaS). The paper opens new fronts for questions about the relationship between LaS and subsets of the length spectrum for a range of spaces from Riemannian manifolds to resistance metric spaces.","PeriodicalId":55452,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48673807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our approach is based on an explicit construction of hyperk\"ahler metrics due to Biquard and Gauduchon. This extension is reminiscent of how one derives Hitchin's equations for harmonic bundles, and yields real and complex moment map equations which deform the constant scalar curvature K\"ahler (cscK) condition. In the special case of complex curves we recover previous results of Donaldson. We focus on the case of complex surfaces. In particular we show the existence of solutions to the moment map equations on a class of ruled surfaces which do not admit cscK metrics.","PeriodicalId":55452,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43118127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the third part in a three-part series of papers. The first part, joint with Stovall, lay the groundwork for the coordinate system we use in this paper and showed how such coordinate charts can be viewed as scaling maps for sub-Riemannian geometry.
