Curvature and the equivalence problem in sub-Riemannian geometry

Erlend Grong (2022)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

These notes give an introduction to the equivalence problem of sub-Riemannian manifolds. We first introduce preliminaries in terms of connections, frame bundles and sub-Riemannian geometry. Then we arrive to the main aim of these notes, which is to give the description of the canonical grading and connection existing on sub-Riemann manifolds with constant symbol. These structures are exactly what is needed in order to determine if two manifolds are isometric. We give three concrete examples,...

Connection induced geometrical concepts

Musilová, Pavla, Musilová, Jana

Similarity:

Summary: Geometrical concepts induced by a smooth mapping f : M → N of manifolds with linear connections are introduced, especially the (higher order) covariant differentials of the mapping tangent to f and the curvature of a corresponding tensor product connection. As an useful and physically meaningful consequence a basis of differential invariants for natural operators of such smooth mappings is obtained for metric connections. A relation to geometry of Riemannian manifolds is discussed. ...

Generalized Kählerian manifolds and transformation of generalized contact structures

Habib Bouzir, Gherici Beldjilali, Mohamed Belkhelfa, Aissa Wade (2017)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, new generalized Kähler manifolds are constructed starting from both classical almost contact metric and almost Kählerian manifolds. Second, the transformation construction on classical Riemannian manifolds is extended to the generalized geometry setting.
