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.

Isometries of Riemannian and sub-Riemannian structures on three-dimensional Lie groups

Rory Biggs (2017)

Communications in Mathematics

Similarity:

We investigate the isometry groups of the left-invariant Riemannian and sub-Riemannian structures on simply connected three-dimensional Lie groups. More specifically, we determine the isometry group for each normalized structure and hence characterize for exactly which structures (and groups) the isotropy subgroup of the identity is contained in the group of automorphisms of the Lie group. It turns out (in both the Riemannian and sub-Riemannian cases) that for most structures any isometry...
