Homogeneous Kähler manifolds admitting a transitive solvable group of automorphisms
The homogeneous quaternionic Kähler structures on the Alekseevskian 𝒲-spaces with their natural quaternionic structures, each of these spaces described as a solvable Lie group, and the type of such structures in Fino's classification, are found.
The existence of a homogeneous geodesic in homogeneous Finsler manifolds was investigated and positively answered in previous papers. It is conjectured that this result can be improved, namely that any homogeneous Finsler manifold admits at least two homogenous geodesics. Examples of homogeneous Randers manifolds admitting just two homogeneous geodesics are presented.
We describe homogeneous manifolds with generic Ricci tensor. We also prove that if 𝔤 is a 4-dimensional unimodular Lie algebra such that dim[𝔤,𝔤] ≤ 2 then every left-invariant metric on the Lie group G with Lie algebra 𝔤 admits two mutually opposite compatible left-invariant almost Kähler structures.
The concept of homogeneity, which picks out sprays from the general run of systems of second-order ordinary differential equations in the geometrical theory of such equations, is generalized so as to apply to equations of higher order. Certain properties of the geometric concomitants of a spray are shown to continue to hold for higher-order systems. Third-order equations play a special role, because a strong form of homogeneity may apply to them. The key example of a single third-order equation...
A Finsler geometry may be understood as a homogeneous variational problem, where the Finsler function is the Lagrangian. The extremals in Finsler geometry are curves, but in more general variational problems we might consider extremal submanifolds of dimension . In this minicourse we discuss these problems from a geometric point of view.
We define a canonical line bundle over the slit tangent bundle of a manifold, and define a Lagrangian section to be a homogeneous section of this line bundle. When a regularity condition is satisfied the Lagrangian section gives rise to local Finsler functions. For each such section we demonstrate how to construct a canonically parametrized family of geodesics, such that the geodesics of the local Finsler functions are reparametrizations.
In this paper we outline the foundations of Homological Mirror Symmetry for manifolds of general type. Both Physics and Categorical prospectives are considered.
For a Lie algebroid, divergences chosen in a classical way lead to a uniquely defined homology theory. They define also, in a natural way, modular classes of certain Lie algebroid morphisms. This approach, applied for the anchor map, recovers the concept of modular class due to S. Evens, J.-H. Lu, and A. Weinstein.
