Resolvent Flows for Convex Functionals and p-Harmonic Maps

Kazuhiro Kuwae (2015)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

We prove the unique existence of the (non-linear) resolvent associated to a coercive proper lower semicontinuous function satisfying a weak notion of p-uniform λ-convexity on a complete metric space, and establish the existence of the minimizer of such functions as the large time limit of the resolvents, which generalizing pioneering work by Jost for convex functionals on complete CAT(0)-spaces. The results can be applied to Lp-Wasserstein space over complete p-uniformly convex spaces. As an application,...

Riemannian foliations with parallel or harmonic basic forms

Fida El Chami, Georges Habib, Roger Nakad (2015)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper, we consider a Riemannian foliation that admits a nontrivial parallel or harmonic basic form. We estimate the norm of the O’Neill tensor in terms of the curvature data of the whole manifold. Some examples are then given.

Riemannian manifolds in which certain curvature operator has constant eigenvalues along each helix

Yana Alexieva, Stefan Ivanov (1999)

Archivum Mathematicum

Riemannian manifolds for which a natural skew-symmetric curvature operator has constant eigenvalues on helices are studied. A local classification in dimension three is given. In the three dimensional case one gets all locally symmetric spaces and all Riemannian manifolds with the constant principal Ricci curvatures r 1 = r 2 = 0 , r 3 0 , which are not locally homogeneous, in general.

Riemannian metrics on 2D-manifolds related to the Euler−Poinsot rigid body motion

Bernard Bonnard, Olivier Cots, Jean-Baptiste Pomet, Nataliya Shcherbakova (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The Euler−Poinsot rigid body motion is a standard mechanical system and it is a model for left-invariant Riemannian metrics on SO(3). In this article using the Serret−Andoyer variables we parameterize the solutions and compute the Jacobi fields in relation with the conjugate locus evaluation. Moreover, the metric can be restricted to a 2D-surface, and the conjugate points of this metric are evaluated using recent works on surfaces of revolution. Another related 2D-metric on S2 associated to the...
