Generalized P-reducible (α,β)-metrics with vanishing S-curvature

A. Tayebi, H. Sadeghi (2015)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study one of the open problems in Finsler geometry presented by Matsumoto-Shimada in 1977, about the existence of a concrete P-reducible metric, i.e. one which is not C-reducible. In order to do this, we study a class of Finsler metrics, called generalized P-reducible metrics, which contains the class of P-reducible metrics. We prove that every generalized P-reducible (α,β)-metric with vanishing S-curvature reduces to a Berwald metric or a C-reducible metric. It follows that there...

Unit tangent sphere bundles with constant scalar curvature

Eric Boeckx, Lieven Vanhecke (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

As a first step in the search for curvature homogeneous unit tangent sphere bundles we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a manifold to have a unit tangent sphere bundle with constant scalar curvature. We give complete classifications for low dimensions and for conformally flat manifolds. Further, we determine when the unit tangent sphere bundle is Einstein or Ricci-parallel.

On isotropic Berwald metrics

Akbar Tayebi, Behzad Najafi (2012)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We prove that every isotropic Berwald metric of scalar flag curvature is a Randers metric. We study the relation between an isotropic Berwald metric and a Randers metric which are pointwise projectively related. We show that on constant isotropic Berwald manifolds the notions of R-quadratic and stretch metrics are equivalent. Then we prove that every complete generalized Landsberg manifold with isotropic Berwald curvature reduces to a Berwald manifold. Finally, we study C-conformal changes...

Almost contact metric submersions and curvature tensors.

Tshikunguila Tshikuna-Matamba (2005)

Extracta Mathematicae

Similarity:

It is known that L. Vanhecke, among other geometers, has studied curvature properties both on almost Hermitian and almost contact metric manifolds. The purpose of this paper is to interrelate these properties within the theory of almost contact metric submersions. So, we examine the following problem: Let f: M → B be an almost contact metric submersion. Suppose that the total space is a C(α)-manifold. What curvature properties do have the fibres or the base...

Menger curvature and Lipschitz parametrizations in metric spaces

Immo Hahlomaa (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that pointwise bounds on the Menger curvature imply Lipschitz parametrization for general compact metric spaces. We also give some estimates on the optimal Lipschitz constants of the parametrizing maps for the metric spaces in Ω(ε), the class of bounded metric spaces E such that the maximum angle for every triple in E is at least π/2 + arcsinε. Finally, we extend Peter Jones's travelling salesman theorem to general metric spaces.

Angles between Curves in Metric Measure Spaces

Bang-Xian Han, Andrea Mondino (2017)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

Similarity:

The goal of the paper is to study the angle between two curves in the framework of metric (and metric measure) spaces. More precisely, we give a new notion of angle between two curves in a metric space. Such a notion has a natural interplay with optimal transportation and is particularly well suited for metric measure spaces satisfying the curvature-dimension condition. Indeed one of the main results is the validity of the cosine formula on RCD*(K, N) metric measure spaces. As a consequence,...
