Canonical Poisson-Nijenhuis structures on higher order tangent bundles

P. M. Kouotchop Wamba (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Let M be a smooth manifold of dimension m>0, and denote by S c a n the canonical Nijenhuis tensor on TM. Let Π be a Poisson bivector on M and Π T the complete lift of Π on TM. In a previous paper, we have shown that ( T M , Π T , S c a n ) is a Poisson-Nijenhuis manifold. Recently, the higher order tangent lifts of Poisson manifolds from M to T r M have been studied and some properties were given. Furthermore, the canonical Nijenhuis tensors on T A M are described by A. Cabras and I. Kolář [Arch. Math. (Brno) 38 (2002), 243-257],...

Canonical symplectic structures on the r-th order tangent bundle of a symplectic manifold.

Jan Kurek, Wlodzimierz M. Mikulski (2006)

Extracta Mathematicae

We describe all canonical 2-forms Λ(ω) on the r-th order tangent bundle TrM = Jr0 (R;M) of a symplectic manifold (M, ω). As a corollary we deduce that all canonical symplectic structures Λ(ω) on TrM over a symplectic manifold (M, ω) are of the form Λ(ω) = Σrk=0 αkω(k) for all real numbers αk with αr ≠ 0, where ω(k) is the (k)-lift (in the sense of A. Morimoto) of ω to TrM.

Cauchy problems for discrete affine minimal surfaces

Marcos Craizer, Thomas Lewiner, Ralph Teixeira (2012)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper we discuss planar quadrilateral (PQ) nets as discrete models for convex affine surfaces. As a main result, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a PQ net to admit a Lelieuvre co-normal vector field. Particular attention is given to the class of surfaces with discrete harmonic co-normals, which we call discrete affine minimal surfaces, and the subclass of surfaces with co-planar discrete harmonic co-normals, which we call discrete improper affine spheres. Within this classes,...

Cauchy-Riemann submanifolds of Kaehlerian Finsler spaces.

Sorin Dragomir (1989)

Collectanea Mathematica

We study the geometry of the second fundamental form of a Cauchy-Riemann submanifold of a Kaehlerian Finsler space M2n; any totally-real submanifold of M2n with v-flat normal connection is shown to be a Berwald-Cartan space.

Caustics and wave front propagations: applications to differential geometry

Shyuichi Izumiya, Masatomo Takahashi (2008)

Banach Center Publications

This is mainly a survey on the theory of caustics and wave front propagations with applications to differential geometry of hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. We give a brief review of the general theory of caustics and wave front propagations, which are well-known now. We also consider a relationship between caustics and wave front propagations which might be new. Moreover, we apply this theory to differential geometry of hypersurfaces, getting new geometric properties.
