Singularities of non-degenerate n-ruled (n + 1)-manifolds in Euclidean space

Kentaro Saji (2004)

Banach Center Publications

The objective of this paper is to study singularities of n-ruled (n + 1)-manifolds in Euclidean space. They are one-parameter families of n-dimensional affine subspaces in Euclidean space. After defining a non-degenerate n-ruled (n + 1)-manifold we will give a necessary and sufficient condition for such a map germ to be right-left equivalent to the cross cap × interval. The behavior of a generic n-ruled (n + 1)-manifold is also discussed.

Skew Killing spinors

Georges Habib, Julien Roth (2012)

Open Mathematics

We study the existence of a skew Killing spinor on 2- and 3-dimensional Riemannian spin manifolds. We establish the integrability conditions and prove that these spinor fields correspond to twistor spinors in the two dimensional case while, up to a conformal change of the metric, they correspond to parallel spinors in the three dimensional case.

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...

Slant and pseudo-slant submanifolds in LCS -manifolds

Mehmet Atçeken, Shyamal Kumar Hui (2013)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We show new results on when a pseudo-slant submanifold is a LCS-manifold. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a submanifold to be pseudo-slant are given. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the integrability of distributions which are involved in the definition of the pseudo-slant submanifold. We characterize the pseudo-slant product and give necessary and sufficient conditions for a pseudo-slant submanifold to be the pseudo-slant product. Also we give an example of a slant submanifold...
