The Euler−Poinsot rigid body motion is a standard mechanical system and it is a model for left-invariant Riemannian metrics on SO(3). In this article using the Serret−Andoyer variables we parameterize the solutions and compute the Jacobi fields in relation with the conjugate locus evaluation. Moreover, the metric can be restricted to a 2D-surface, and the conjugate points of this metric are evaluated using recent works on surfaces of revolution. Another related 2D-metric on S2 associated to the...
This paper is a study of harmonic maps fromRiemannian polyhedra to locally non-positively curved geodesic spaces in the sense of Alexandrov. We prove Liouville-type theorems for subharmonic functions and harmonic maps under two different assumptions on the source space. First we prove the analogue of the Schoen-Yau Theorem on a complete pseudomanifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature. Then we study 2-parabolic admissible Riemannian polyhedra and prove some vanishing results on them.
We consider an almost Kenmotsu manifold with the characteristic vector field ξ belonging to the (k,μ)’-nullity distribution and h’ ≠ 0 and we prove that is locally isometric to the Riemannian product of an (n+1)-dimensional manifold of constant sectional curvature -4 and a flat n-dimensional manifold, provided that is ξ-Riemannian-semisymmetric. Moreover, if is a ξ-Riemannian-semisymmetric almost Kenmotsu manifold such that ξ belongs to the (k,μ)-nullity distribution, we prove that is...
Flag manifolds are in general not symmetric spaces. But they are provided with a structure of -symmetric space. We describe the Riemannian metrics adapted to this structure and some properties of reducibility. The conditions for a metric adapted to the -symmetric structure to be naturally reductive are detailed for the flag manifold .
We study rigid paths of generic 2-distributions with degenerate points on 3-manifolds. A complete description of such paths is obtained. For the proof, we construct separating surfaces of paths admissible for distributions.
