Explicit elliptic estimates for nowhere vanishing harmonic 1-forms

Abstract

We compute an explicit constant for an injectivity estimate on the 3-Torus involving the Laplace Operator. First, we provide motivation for such explicit estimates. We perform the computation for the 3-Torus endowed with the flat metric before generalising to perturbed metrics. Finally, we apply these results to show existence of a nowhere vanishing harmonic 1-form on the 3-Torus endowed with a perturbed metric.
