RIESZ ENERGIES AND THE MAGNITUDE OF MANIFOLDS

Gimperlein, Heiko and Goffeng, Magnus LU orcid (2025) In Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society 153(7). p.3173-3184
Abstract

We study the geometric significance of Leinster’s magnitude invariant. For closed manifolds we find a precise relation with Brylinski’s beta function and therefore with classical invariants of knots and submanifolds. In the special case of compact homogeneous spaces we obtain an elementary proof that the residues of the beta function contain the same geometric information as the asymptotic expansion of the magnitude function. For general closed manifolds we use the recent pseudodifferential analysis of the magnitude operator to relate these via an interpolating polynomial family. Beyond manifolds, the relation with the Brylinski beta function allows to deduce unexpected properties of the magnitude function for the p-adic integers.
