Poisson equation for differential forms on a symmetric space and applications (Q281940)

The author discusses the Poisson equation \(\Delta \beta=\alpha\) on the differential forms in a symmetric space \(M\). Estimations in \(L_p\) of the corresponding De Rham-Hodge projectors are obtained when \(p\) depends on the invariant of the isometry group of \(M\). Cohomology of the locally symmetric spaces of finite volume is discussed. The nullity of the cohomology \(L_p\) is investigated for \(p\) from an interval dependent on the critic convergence exponent of the Poincaré series and on the spectrum of Laplace's equation. The maximal function associated with the kernel of the heat equation is estimated. Moreover, the heat kernel at infinity is investigated for some values of \(p\).
