The structure of reachable sets for affine control systems induced by generalized Martinet sub-lorentzian metrics

Marek Grochowski (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we investigate analytic affine control systems q ˙ q̇ = X + uY, u ∈  [a,b] , where X,Y is an orthonormal frame for a generalized Martinet sub-Lorentzian structure of order k of Hamiltonian type. We construct normal forms for such systems and, among other things, we study the connection between the presence of the singular trajectory starting at q0 on the boundary of the reachable set from q0 with the minimal number of analytic functions needed for describing the reachable set from q0.

Three dimensional near-horizon metrics that are Einstein-Weyl

Matthew Randall (2017)

Archivum Mathematicum

We investigate which three dimensional near-horizon metrics g N H admit a compatible 1-form X such that ( X , [ g N H ] ) defines an Einstein-Weyl structure. We find explicit examples and see that some of the solutions give rise to Einstein-Weyl structures of dispersionless KP type and dispersionless Hirota (aka hyperCR) type.

Timelike B 2 -slant helices in Minkowski space E 1 4

Ahmad T. Ali, Rafael López (2010)

Archivum Mathematicum

We consider a unit speed timelike curve α in Minkowski 4-space 𝐄 1 4 and denote the Frenet frame of α by { 𝐓 , 𝐍 , 𝐁 1 , 𝐁 2 } . We say that α is a generalized helix if one of the unit vector fields of the Frenet frame has constant scalar product with a fixed direction U of 𝐄 1 4 . In this work we study those helices where the function 𝐁 2 , U is constant and we give different characterizations of such curves.

Totally umbilical submanifolds in some semi-Riemannian manifolds

Stanisław Ewert-Krzemieniewski (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We investigate totally umbilical submanifolds in manifolds satisfying some curvature conditions of either recurrent or pseudosymmetry type in the sense of Ryszard Deszcz and derive the respective condition for submanifolds. We also prove some relations involving the mean curvature and the Weyl conformal curvature tensor of submanifolds. Some examples are discussed.

Two-jets of conformal fields along their zero sets

Andrzej Derdzinski (2012)

Open Mathematics

The connected components of the zero set of any conformal vector field v, in a pseudo-Riemannian manifold (M, g) of arbitrary signature, are of two types, which may be called ‘essential’ and ‘nonessential’. The former consist of points at which v is essential, that is, cannot be turned into a Killing field by a local conformal change of the metric. In a component of the latter type, points at which v is nonessential form a relatively-open dense subset that is at the same time a totally umbilical...

η -Ricci Solitons on η -Einstein ( L C S ) n -Manifolds

Shyamal Kumar Hui, Debabrata Chakraborty (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

The object of the present paper is to study η -Ricci solitons on η -Einstein ( L C S ) n -manifolds. It is shown that if ξ is a recurrent torse forming η -Ricci soliton on an η -Einstein ( L C S ) n -manifold then ξ is (i) concurrent and (ii) Killing vector field.
