Hodge theory on ALG$^*$ manifolds
2021
We develop a Fredholm Theory for the Hodge Laplacian in weighted spaces on ALG$^*$ manifolds in dimension four. We then give several applications of this theory. First, we show the existence of harmonic functions with prescribed asymptotics at infinity. A corollary of this is a non-existence result for ALG$^*$ manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature having group $\Gamma = \{e\}$ at infinity. Next, we prove a Hodge decomposition for the first de Rham cohomology group of an ALG$^*$ manifold. A corollary of this is vanishing of the first betti number for any ALG$^*$ manifold with non-negative Ricci curvature. Another application of our analysis is to determine the optimal order of ALG$^*$ gravitational instantons.
