Remarks on CR-manifolds of codimension 2 in C 4

Schmalz, Gerd (1999)

Proceedings of the 18th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

The aim of the article is to give a conceptual understanding of Kontsevich’s construction of the universal element of the cohomology of the coarse moduli space of smooth algebraic curves with given genus and punctures. In a first step the author presents a toy model of tree graphs coloured by an operad 𝒫 for which the graph complex and the universal cycle will be constructed. The universal cycle has coefficients in the operad for Ω ( 𝒫 * ) -algebras with trivial differential over the (dual) cobar construction...

Remarks on F-planar curves and their generalizations

Jaroslav Hrdina (2011)

Banach Center Publications

Generalized planar curves (A-curves) are more general analogues of F-planar curves and geodesics. In particular, several well known geometries are described by more than one affinor. The best known example is the almost quaternionic geometry. A new approach to this topic (A-structures) was started in our earlier papers. In this paper we expand the concept of A-structures to projective A-structures.

Remarks on Grassmannian Symmetric Spaces

Lenka Zalabová, Vojtěch Žádník (2008)

Archivum Mathematicum

The classical concept of affine locally symmetric spaces allows a generalization for various geometric structures on a smooth manifold. We remind the notion of symmetry for parabolic geometries and we summarize the known facts for | 1 | -graded parabolic geometries and for almost Grassmannian structures, in particular. As an application of two general constructions with parabolic geometries, we present an example of non-flat Grassmannian symmetric space. Next we observe there is a distinguished torsion-free...

Remarks on local Lie algebras of pairs of functions

Josef Janyška (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Starting by the famous paper by Kirillov, local Lie algebras of functions over smooth manifolds were studied very intensively by mathematicians and physicists. In the present paper we study local Lie algebras of pairs of functions which generate infinitesimal symmetries of almost-cosymplectic-contact structures of odd dimensional manifolds.

Remarks on Riemannian Thermodynamics

Luigi G. Napolitano, Carlo Albanese (1992)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

The postulates of macroscopic thermodynamics give us the possibility to endow the set of thermodynamic states with the structure of a riemannian manifold. Two alternatives are available: the first one is to introduce on the set of thermodynamic equilibrium states a metric induced by an embedding metric space (extrinsic approach), the second one is to introduce the stability metric (intrinsic approach). Between the two choices the second one looks more promising on the basis of its capability of...

Remarks on Special Symplectic Connections

Martin Panák, Vojtěch Žádník (2008)

Archivum Mathematicum

The notion of special symplectic connections is closely related to parabolic contact geometries due to the work of M. Cahen and L. Schwachhöfer. We remind their characterization and reinterpret the result in terms of generalized Weyl connections. The aim of this paper is to provide an alternative and more explicit construction of special symplectic connections of three types from the list. This is done by pulling back an ambient linear connection from the total space of a natural scale bundle over...

Remarks on symmetries of parabolic geometries

Lenka Zalabová (2006)

Archivum Mathematicum

We consider symmetries on filtered manifolds and we study the | 1 | -graded parabolic geometries in more details. We discuss the existence of symmetries on the homogeneous models and we conclude some simple observations on the general curved geometries.
