A hyperbolic 3-manifold M which fibers over the circle admits a flow called the suspension flow. We show that such a flow can be isotoped to be uniformly quasigeodesic in the hyperbolic metric on M; i.e., the flow lines lifted to hyperbolic space are K-bilipschitz embeddings of R (K > 1 fixed).

In this note the fractional analytic index, for a projective elliptic operator associated to an Azumaya bundle, of [5] is related to the equivariant index of [1, 6] for an associated transversally elliptic operator.

We state and prove a long-elusive relation between genus-one Gromov-Witten of a complete intersection and twisted Gromov Witten invariants of the ambient projective space. As shown in a previous paper, certain naturally arising cones of holomorphic vector bundle sections over the main component M 0 1,k(Pn, d) of the moduli space of stable genus-one holomorphic maps into Pn have a well-defined euler class. In this paper, we extend this result to moduli spaces of perturbed, in a restricted way, J-holomorphic maps. This extension is used to show that these cones are the correct genus-one analogues of the vector bundles relating genuszero Gromov-Witten invariants of a complete intersection to those of the ambient projective space. A relationship for higher-genus invariants is conjectured as well.

In this paper we study the analytic torsion and the L2-torsion of compact locally symmetric manifolds. We consider the analytic torsion with respect to representations of the fundamental group which are obtained by restriction of irreducible representations of the group of isometries of the underlying symmetric space. The main purpose is to study the asymptotic behavior of the analytic torsion with respect to sequences of representations associated to rays of highest weights.

In this paper we develop methods to extend the minimal hypersurface approach to positive scalar curvature problems to all dimensions. This includes a proof of the positive mass theorem in all dimensions without a spin assumption. It also includes statements about the structure of compact manifolds of positive scalar curvature extending the work of\cite {sy1} to all dimensions. The technical work in this paper is to construct minimal slicings and associated weight functions in the presence of small singular sets and to show that the singular sets do not become too large in the lower dimensional slices. It is shown that the singular set in any slice is a closed set with Hausdorff codimension at least three. In particular for arguments which involve slicing down to dimension 1 or 1 the method is successful. The arguments can be viewed as an extension of the minimal hypersurface regularity theory to this setting of minimal slicings.
