Relative -principles for closed stable forms
Laurence H. Mayther
This paper uses convex integration to develop a new, general method for proving relative -principles for closed, stable, exterior forms on manifolds. This method is applied to p…
Spectral invariants of Joyce orbifolds
Laurence H. Mayther
This paper introduces two new spectral invariants of torsion-free -structures on closed orbifolds and computes their values on all Joyce orbifolds. These invariants a…
Unboundedness above and below of the Donaldson-Hitchin functionals on - and -forms
Laurence H. Mayther
This paper combines explicit local calculations with covering arguments to prove the unboundedness above and below (in a logarithmic sense) of the Donaldson-Hitchin functionals on…
Unboundedness above of the Hitchin functional on 3-forms and associated collapsing results
Laurence H. Mayther
This paper uses scaling arguments to prove the unboundedness above of the Hitchin functional on closed 3-forms for two explicit closed 7-manifolds. The first manifol…
A general collapsing result for families of stratified Riemannian metrics on orbifolds
Laurence H. Mayther
This paper proves a general collapsing result for families of stratified Riemannian metrics on a compact orbifold , subject to suitable limiting conditions on th…
