In this research, we study two different geometric approaches, namely, the discrete exterior calculus and differential complexes, for developing numerical schemes for linear and nonlinear elasticity. Using some ideas from discrete exterior calculus (DEC), we present a geometric discretization scheme for incompressible linearized elasticity. After characterizing the configuration manifold of volume- preserving discrete deformations, we use Hamilton’s principle on this configuration manifold. The discrete Euler-Lagrange equations are obtained without using Lagrange multipliers. The main difference between our approach and the mixed finite element formulations is that we simultaneously use three different discrete spaces for the displacement field. We test the efficiency and robustness of this geometric scheme using some numerical examples. In particular, we do not see any volume locking and/or checkerboarding of pressure in our numerical examples. This suggests that our choice of discrete solution spaces is compatible. On the other hand, it has been observed that the linear elastostatics complex can be used to find very efficient numerical schemes. We use some geometric techniques to obtain differential complexes for nonlinear elastostatics. In particular, by introducing stress functions for the Cauchy and the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensors, we show that 2D and 3D nonlinear elastostatics admit separate kinematic and kinetic complexes. We show that stress functions corresponding to the first Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor allow us to write a complex for 3D nonlinear elastostatics that similar to the complex of 3D linear elastostatics contains both the kinematics an kinetics of motion. We study linear and nonlinear compatibility equations for curved ambient spaces and motions of surfaces in R3. We also study the relationship between the linear elastostatics complex and the de Rham complex. The geometric approach presented in this research is crucial for understanding connections between linear and nonlinear elastostatics and the Hodge Laplacian, which can enable one to convert numerical schemes of the Hodge Laplacian to those for linear and possibly nonlinear elastostatics.

We establish the upper bounds for the difference between the first two eigenvalues of the relative and absolute eigenvalue problems. Relative and absolute boundary conditions are generalization of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions on functions to differential forms respectively. The domains are taken to be a family of symmetric regions in Rn consisting of two cavities joined by a straight thin tube. Our operators are Hodge Laplacian operators acting on k-forms given by the formula Δ(k) = dδ+δd, where d and δ are the exterior derivatives and the codifferentials respectively. A result has been established on Dirichlet case (0-forms) by Brown, Hislop, and Martinez [2]. We use the same techniques to generalize the results on exponential decay of eigenforms, singular perturbation on domains [1], and matrix representation of the Hodge Laplacian restricted to a suitable subspace [2]. From matrix representation, we are able to find exponentially small upper bounds for the difference between the first two eigenvalues.

In 1976, Uhlenbeck used transversality theory to show that for certain families of elliptic operators, the property of having only simple eigenvalues is generic. As one application, she proved that on a closed Riemannian manifold, the eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator Δg are all simple for a residual set of Cr metrics. In 2012, Enciso and Peralta-Salas established an analogue of Uhlenbeck's theorem for differential forms, showing that on a closed 3-manifold, there exists a residual set of Cr metrics such that the nonzero eigenvalues of the Hodge Laplacian Δg(k) on k-forms are all simple for 0 ≤ k ≤ 3. In this dissertation, we continue to address the question of whether Uhlenbeck's theorem can be extended to differential forms. In particular, we prove that for a residual set of Cr metrics, the nonzero eigenvalues of the Hodge Laplacian Δg(2) acting on coexact 2-forms on a closed 5-manifold have multiplicity 2. To prove our main result, we structure our argument around a study of the Beltrami operator *gd, which is related to the Hodge Laplacian by Δg(2) = -(*gd)2 when the operators are restricted to coexact 2-forms on a 5-manifold. We use techniques from perturbation theory to show that the Beltrami operator has only simple eigenvalues for a residual set of metrics. We further establish even eigenvalue multiplicities for the Hodge Laplacian acting on coexact k-forms in the more general setting n = 4 ℓ + 1 and k = 2 ℓ for ℓ ϵ N.

Tal estudo serviu de base para a demonstração da Conjectura de Poincaré, problema que durou muitos anos na Matemática e só foi solucionado por Gregori Perelman em 2002. Este trabalho tem como objetivo demonstrar o Teorema de decomposição de Hodge-de Rham e apresentar resultados acerca dos solitons de Ricci obtidos a partir deste. Encontram-se estes resultados no artigo "Some applications of the Hodge-de Rham decomposition to Ricci solitons

Mais precisamente, apresentamos a teoria e seus teoremas mais importantes, da perspectiva da Topologia Algébrica; como, por exemplo, o Teorema de Künneth e o Lema de Poincaré. Generalizamos a teoria para digrafos localmente finitos e, neste contexto, provamos o Teorema da separação de Hodge. Apresentamos ainda uma interpretação das homologias maiores por meio de um processo estocástico que generaliza o passeio aleatório sobre as faces de um complexo simplicial. Por fim apresentamos nossa conjecutra de que as dimensões das homologias de um grafo de Cayley aleatório respeitam o Teorema Central do Limite, e a provamos para a primeira homologia,H0; em que o grupo subjacente é cíclico. / This work studies the (co)homological theory of digraphs and some of its applications. More precisely, we present the theory and its most important theorems, from the Algebraic Topology perspective; as, for example, the Künneth Theorem and Poincaré¿s Lemma. We generalize the theory to locally ?nite digraphs and, in this context, we prove the Hodge¿s separation Theorem. We also present an interpretation to the homologies via a stochastic process that generalizes the random walk over faces of a simplicial complex. At last we present our conjecture that the homologies¿ dimensions for a random Cayley¿s Graph satisfy the Central Limit Theorem, and prove it to the ?rst homology,H0; where the underlying group is cyclic.

<p>Let p be a prime number and F be a finite extension of Q_p. We established an algorithm to compute the semisimplification of the reduction of some irreducible two dimensional crystalline representations with two parameter {h,a_p} when v_p(a_p) is large enough. We improve the known results when p|h. We also extend the algorithm to the two dimensional semistable and non-crystalline representation. We compute the semi-simplification of the reduction when v_p(L) large enough and p=2. These results solve the difficulties with the case p=2. The strategies are based on the study of the Kisin modules over O_F and Breuil modules over S_F. By the theory of Breuil and Theorem of Colmez-Fontaine, these modules are closely related to semistable representations.</p>
