On a synthetic proof of the Ambrose-Palais-Singer theorem for infinitesimally linear spaces
A proof of the Chekanov theorem is discussed from a geometric point of view. Similar results in the context of projectivized cotangent bundles are proved. Some applications are given.
Conformally flat metric is said to be Ricci superosculating with at the point if , , , where is the Ricci tensor. In this paper the following theorem is proved: If is a smooth curve of the Riemannian manifold (without self-crossing(, then there is a neighbourhood of and a conformally flat metric which is the Ricci superosculating with along the curve .
In this Note, by using a generalization of the classical Fermat principle, we prove the existence and multiplicity of lightlike geodesics joining a point with a timelike curve on a class of Lorentzian manifolds, satisfying a suitable compactness assumption, which is weaker than the globally hyperbolicity.
Let Σ be a closed oriented Riemann surface of genus at least 2. By using symplectic chain complex, we construct a volume element for a Hitchin component of Hom(π₁(Σ),PSLₙ(ℝ))/PSLₙ(ℝ) for n > 2.
The phenomenon of determining a geometric structure on a manifold by the group of its automorphisms is a modern analogue of the basic ideas of the Erlangen Program of F. Klein. The author calls such diffeomorphism groups admissible and he describes them by imposing some axioms. The main result is the followingTheorem. Let , , be a geometric structure such that its group of automorphisms satisfies either axioms 1, 2, 3 and 4, or axioms 1, 2, 3’, 4, 5, 6 and 7, and is compact, or axioms 1, 2,...
