The subject of this paper is a Jacobian, introduced by F. Lazzeri (unpublished), associated with every compact oriented Riemannian manifold whose dimension is twice an odd number. We study the Torelli and Schottky problem for Lazzeri's Jacobian of flat tori and we compare Lazzeri's Jacobian of Kähler manifolds with other Jacobians.

In this paper we give an explicit formula for the solution of the non-homogeneous complex Cauchy problem with Cauchy data given on a bounded smooth strictly convex domain in a non-characteristic hyperplane. These formulas are obtained using the explicit version of the fundamental principle given in terms of residue currents; moreover, we characterize the domain of definition of the solution and we generalize these techniques to the non-homogeneous Goursat problem.

We show that under conditions of regularity, if$E′$is isomorphic to$F′$, then the spaces of homogeneous polynomials over$E$and$F$are isomorphic. Some subspaces of polynomials more closely related to the structure of dual spaces (weakly continuous, integral, extendible) are shown to be isomorphic in full generality.

We prove the Poincaré inequality for vector fields on the balls of the control distance by integrating along subunit paths. Our method requires that the balls are representable by means of suitable “controllable almost exponential maps”.
