Local reflexion spaces

Jan Gregorovič (2012)

Archivum Mathematicum

A reflexion space is generalization of a symmetric space introduced by O. Loos in [4]. We generalize locally symmetric spaces to local reflexion spaces in the similar way. We investigate, when local reflexion spaces are equivalently given by a locally flat Cartan connection of certain type.

Metric Entropy of Homogeneous Spaces

Stanisław Szarek (1998)

Banach Center Publications

For a precompact subset K of a metric space and ε > 0, the covering number N(K,ε) is defined as the smallest number of balls of radius ε whose union covers K. Knowledge of the metric entropy, i.e., the asymptotic behaviour of covering numbers for (families of) metric spaces is important in many areas of mathematics (geometry, functional analysis, probability, coding theory, to name a few). In this paper we give asymptotically correct estimates for covering numbers for a large class of homogeneous...

Metrics with homogeneous geodesics on flag manifolds

Dimitri V. Alekseevsky, Andreas Arvanitoyeorgos (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A geodesic of a homogeneous Riemannian manifold ( M = G / K , g ) is called homogeneous if it is an orbit of an one-parameter subgroup of G . In the case when M = G / H is a naturally reductive space, that is the G -invariant metric g is defined by some non degenerate biinvariant symmetric bilinear form B , all geodesics of M are homogeneous. We consider the case when M = G / K is a flag manifold, i.eȧn adjoint orbit of a compact semisimple Lie group G , and we give a simple necessary condition that M admits a non-naturally reductive...

Nambu-Poisson Tensors on Lie Groups

Nobutada Nakanishi (2000)

Banach Center Publications

First as an application of the local structure theorem for Nambu-Poisson tensors, we characterize them in terms of differential forms. Secondly left invariant Nambu-Poisson tensors on Lie groups are considered.

Naturally reductive homogeneous ( α , β ) -metric spaces

M. Parhizkar, H.R. Salimi Moghaddam (2021)

Archivum Mathematicum

In the present paper we study naturally reductive homogeneous ( α , β ) -metric spaces. We show that for homogeneous ( α , β ) -metric spaces, under a mild condition, the two definitions of naturally reductive homogeneous Finsler space, given in the literature, are equivalent. Then, we compute the flag curvature of naturally reductive homogeneous ( α , β ) -metric spaces.

New Einstein metrics on Sp ( n ) which are non-naturally reductive

Shaoxiang Zhang, Huibin Chen (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We prove that there are at least two new non-naturally reductive Ad ( Sp ( l ) × Sp ( k ) × Sp ( k ) × Sp ( k ) ) invariant Einstein metrics on Sp ( l + 3 k ) ( k < l ) . It implies that every compact simple Lie group Sp ( n ) ...
