φ ( Ric ) -vector fields in Riemannian spaces

Similarity:

In this paper we study vector fields in Riemannian spaces, which satisfy ∇ ϕ = μ , 𝐑𝐢𝐜 , μ = const. We investigate the properties of these fields and the conditions of their coexistence with concircular vector fields. It is shown that in Riemannian spaces, noncollinear concircular and ϕ ( Ric ) -vector fields cannot exist simultaneously. It was found that Riemannian spaces with ϕ ( Ric ) -vector fields of constant length have constant scalar curvature. The conditions for the existence of ϕ ( Ric ) -vector fields in symmetric spaces...

On harmonic vector fields.

Similarity:

A tangent bundle to a Riemannian manifold carries various metrics induced by a Riemannian tensor. We consider harmonic vector fields with respect to some of these metrics. We give a simple proof that a vector field on a compact manifold is harmonic with respect to the Sasaki metric on TM if and only if it is parallel. We also consider the metrics and on a tangent bundle (cf. [YI]) and harmonic vector fields generated by them.

Harmonic and Minimal Unit Vector Fields on the Symmetric Spaces G 2 and G 2 / S O ( 4 )

Similarity:

The exceptional compact symmetric spaces G 2 and G 2 / S O ( 4 ) admit cohomogeneity one isometric actions with two totally geodesic singular orbits. These singular orbits are not reflective submanifolds of the ambient spaces. We prove that the radial unit vector fields associated to these isometric actions are harmonic and minimal.
