Slant and Legendre curves in Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu geometry

Constantin Călin, Mircea Crasmareanu (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We study Legendre and slant curves for Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu metrics. These curves are characterized through the scalar product between the normal at the curve and the vertical vector field and in the helix case they have a proper (non-harmonic) mean curvature vector field. The general expression of the curvature and torsion of these curves and the associated Lancret invariant (for the slant case) are computed as well as the corresponding variant for some particular cases. The slant (particularly...

Some natural operators on vector fields

Jiří M. Tomáš (1995)

Archivum Mathematicum

We determine all natural operators transforming vector fields on a manifold M to vector fields on T * T 1 2 M , dim M 2 , and all natural operators transforming vector fields on M to functions on T * T T 1 2 M , dim M 3 . We describe some relations between these two kinds of natural operators.

Structure of the kernel of higher spin Dirac operators

Martin Plechšmíd (2001)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Polynomials on n with values in an irreducible Spin n -module form a natural representation space for the group Spin n . These representations are completely reducible. In the paper, we give a complete description of their decompositions into irreducible components for polynomials with values in a certain range of irreducible modules. The results are used to describe the structure of kernels of conformally invariant elliptic first order systems acting on maps on n with values in these modules.
