Bochner Laplacian and Bergman kernel expansion of semi-positive line bundles on a Riemann surface

We generalize the results of Montgomery for the Bochner Laplacian on high tensor powers of a line bundle. When specialized to Riemann surfaces, this leads to the Bergman kernel expansion and geometric quantization results for semi-positive line bundles whose curvature vanishes at finite order. The proof exploits the relation of the Bochner Laplacian on tensor powers with the sub-Riemannian (sR) Laplacian

Hyperbolicity, irrationality exponents and the eta invariant

We consider the remainder term in the semiclassical limit formula for the eta invariant on a metric contact manifold, proving in general that it is controlled by volumes of recurrence sets of the Reeb flow. This particularly gives a logarithmic improvement of the remainder for Anosov Reeb flows, while for certain elliptic flows the improvement is in terms of irrationality measures of corresponding Floquet exponents

Geometric quantization results for semi-positive line bundles on a Riemann surface

In earlier work the authors proved the Bergman kernel expansion for semipositive line bundles over a Riemann surface whose curvature vanishes to atmost finite order at each point. Here we explore the related results and consequences of the expansion in the semipositive case including: Tian's approximation theorem for induced Fubini-Study metrics, leading order asymptotics and composition for Toeplitz operators, asymptotics of zeroes for random sections and the asymptotics of holomorphic torsion.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1811.0099

K\"ahler-Einstein Bergman metrics on pseudoconvex domains of dimension two

We prove that a two dimensional pseudoconvex domain of finite type with a K\"ahler-Einstein Bergman metric is biholomorphic to the unit ball. This answers an old question of Yau for such domains. The proof relies on asymptotics of derivatives of the Bergman kernel along critically tangent paths approaching the boundary, where the order of tangency equals the type of the boundary point being approached
