Vanishing and Finiteness Results in Geometric Analysis: A Generalization of the Bochner Technique

by Stefano Pigola, Alberto G Setti, Marco Rigoli

This book describes very recent results involving an extensive use of analytical tools in the study of geometrical and topological properties of complete Riemannian manifolds. It analyzes in detail an extension of the Bochner technique to the non compact setting, yielding conditions which ensure that solutions of geometrically significant differential equations either are trivial (vanishing results) or give rise to finite dimensional vector spaces...
