Infinitesimal conjugacies and Weil-Petersson metric

Albert Fathi, L. Flaminio (1993)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We study deformations of compact Riemannian manifolds of negative curvature. We give an equation for the infinitesimal conjugacy between geodesic flows. This in turn allows us to compute derivatives of intersection of metrics. As a consequence we obtain a proof of a theorem of Wolpert.

Geodesics and curvature of semidirect product groups

Vizman, Cornelia

Similarity:

Summary: Geodesics and curvature of semidirect product groups with right invariant metrics are determined. In the special case of an isometric semidirect product, the curvature is shown to be the sum of the curvature of the two groups. A series of examples, like the magnetic extension of a group, are then considered.
