The Ruelle rotation of Killing vector fields

Konstantin Athanassopoulos (2009)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We present an explicit formula for the Ruelle rotation of a nonsingular Killing vector field of a closed, oriented, Riemannian 3-manifold, with respect to Riemannian volume.

A note on conformal vector fields on a Riemannian manifold

Sharief Deshmukh, Falleh Al-Solamy (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider an n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold (M,g) and show that the presence of a non-Killing conformal vector field ξ on M that is also an eigenvector of the Laplacian operator acting on smooth vector fields with eigenvalue λ > 0, together with an upper bound on the energy of the vector field ξ, implies that M is isometric to the n-sphere Sⁿ(λ). We also introduce the notion of φ-analytic conformal vector fields, study their properties, and obtain a characterization of...

Transitive conformal holonomy groups

Jesse Alt (2012)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

For (M, [g]) a conformal manifold of signature (p, q) and dimension at least three, the conformal holonomy group Hol(M, [g]) ⊂ O(p + 1, q + 1) is an invariant induced by the canonical Cartan geometry of (M, [g]). We give a description of all possible connected conformal holonomy groups which act transitively on the Möbius sphere S p,q, the homogeneous model space for conformal structures of signature (p, q). The main part of this description is a list of all such groups which also act...
