We introduce and study a geometric heat flow to find Killing vector fields on closed Riemannian manifolds with positive sectional curvature. We study its various properties, prove the global existence of the solution to this flow, discuss its convergence and possible applications, and its relation to the Navier-Stokes equations on manifolds and Kazdan-Warner-Bourguignon-Ezin identity for conformal Killing vector fields. We also provide two new criterions on the existence of Killing vector fields. A similar flow to finding holomorphic vector fields on Khler manifolds will be studied by Li and Liu (2014).

We describe the potential functions for N= 4B supersymmetric quantum mechanics with D (2, 1; ) symmetry.

We prove several formulas related to Hodge theory and the KodairaSpencerKuranishi deformation theory of Khler manifolds. As applications, we present a construction of globally convergent power series of integrable Beltrami differentials on CalabiYau manifolds and also a construction of global canonical family of holomorphic ( n , 0 ) -forms on the deformation spaces of CalabiYau manifolds. Similar constructions are also applied to the deformation spaces of compact Khler manifolds.

In this article we show how to compute the semiclassical spectral measure associated with the Schr¨odinger operator on Rn, and, by examining the first few terms in the asymptotic expansion of this measure, obtain inverse spectral results in one and two dimensions. (In particular we show that for the Schr¨odinger operator on R2 with a radially symmetric electric potential, V , and magnetic potential, B, both V and B are spectrally determined.) We also show that in one dimension there is a very simple explicit identity relating the spectral measure of the Schr¨odinger operator with its Birkhoff canonical form.
