One result are strong Bochner type vanishing results for the L^2-cohomology of these manifolds: if e.g. a manifold admits a metric of bounded geometry which outside a compact set has nonnegative Ricci curvature and nonnegative mean curvature (of the boundary) then its first relative L^2-cohomology vanishes (this in particular answers a question of Roe). We prove the Hodge-de Rham-theorem for L^2-cohomology of oriented boundary-manifolds of bounded geometry. The technical basis is the study of (uniformly elliptic) boundary value problems on these manifolds, applied to the Laplacian.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-10-17T02:11:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C20", "58G20", "57R19" ], "keywords": [ "bounded geometry", "strong bochner type vanishing results", "boundary value problems", "geometric properties", "hodge-de rham-theorem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 41, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1998math.....10107S" } } }
