Microlocal Analysis on manifolds with fibered boundaries
 
Boris Vertman (Oldenburg)

Abstract: We discuss spectral geometric questions on on some non-compact manifolds 
with fibered boundaries. Main examples include non-compact complete hyper-Kaehler 
4-manifolds and scattering spaces. We discuss how such spaces naturally arise in 
the analysis of analytic torsion under degeneration of a smooth compact manifold 
to a space with conical singularities. 

This is a recent project with Joergen Olsen Lye.
