Pizzetti and Cauchy formulae for higher dimensional surfaces: a distributional approach

Abstract

In this paper, we study Pizzetti-type formulas for Stiefel manifolds and Cauchy-type formulas for the tangential Dirac operator from a distributional perspective. First we illustrate a general distributional method for integration over manifolds in ${\mathbb{R}}^m$ defined by means of $k$ equations ${\phi }_1(\underline{x})=\dots ={\phi }_k(\underline{x})=0$. Next, we apply this method to derive an alternative proof of the Pizzetti formulae for the real Stiefel manifolds $SO(m)/SO(m-k)$. Besides, a distributional interpretation to invariant oriented integration is provided. In particular, we obtain a distributional Cauchy theorem for the tangential Dirac operator on an embedded $(m-k)$-dimensional smooth surface.
