Horizontal lift of symmetric connections to the bundle of volume forms $𝒱$

Anna Gasior (2010)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper we present the horizontal lift of a symmetric affine connection with respect to another affine connection to the bundle of volume forms $𝒱$ and give formulas for its curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature. Next, we give some properties of the horizontally lifted vector fields and certain infinitesimal transformations. At the end, we consider some substructures of a $F (3, 1)$ -structure on $𝒱$ .

The Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket on some functional spaces

Ivan Kolář, Marco Modungo (1998)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Two fiber bundles E₁ and E₂ over the same base space M yield the fibered set ℱ(E₁,E₂) → M, whose fibers are defined as $C^{\infty} (E ₁ ₓ, E ₂ ₓ)$ , for each x ∈ M. This fibered set can be regarded as a smooth space in the sense of Frölicher and we construct its tangent prolongation. Then we extend the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket to projectable tangent valued forms on ℱ(E₁,E₂). These forms turn out to be a kind of differential operators. In particular, we consider a general connection on ℱ(E₁,E₂) and study the...

Tangency properties of sets with finite geometric curvature energies

Sebastian Scholtes (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate tangential regularity properties of sets of fractal dimension, whose inverse thickness or integral Menger curvature energies are bounded. For the most prominent of these energies, the integral Menger curvature $ℳ_{p}^{α} (X) : = \int_{X} \int_{X} \int_{X} κ^{p} (x, y, z) d_{X}^{α} (x) d_{X}^{α} (y) d_{X}^{α} (z)$ , where κ(x,y,z) is the inverse circumradius of the triangle defined by x,y and z, we find that $ℳ_{p}^{α} (X) < \infty$ for p ≥ 3α implies the existence of a weak approximate α-tangent at every point of the set, if some mild density properties hold. This includes the scale invariant...

A new characterization of the sphere in $R^{3}$

Thomas Hasanis (1980)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let M be a closed connected surface in $R^{3}$ with positive Gaussian curvature K and let $K_{I} I$ be the curvature of its second fundamental form. It is shown that M is a sphere if $K_{I} I = c \sqrt H K^{r}$ , for some constants c and r, where H is the mean curvature of M.

The resolution of the bounded $L^{2}$ curvature conjecture in general relativity

Sergiu Klainerman, Igor Rodnianski, Jérémie Szeftel (2014-2015)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

Similarity:

This paper reports on the recent proof of the bounded $L^{2}$ curvature conjecture. More precisely we show that the time of existence of a classical solution to the Einstein-vacuum equations depends only on the $L^{2}$ -norm of the curvature and a lower bound of the volume radius of the corresponding initial data set.

On Uniqueness Theoremsfor Ricci Tensor

Marina B. Khripunova, Sergey E. Stepanov, Irina I. Tsyganok, Josef Mikeš (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

In Riemannian geometry the prescribed Ricci curvature problem is as follows: given a smooth manifold $M$ and a symmetric 2-tensor $r$ , construct a metric on $M$ whose Ricci tensor equals $r$ . In particular, DeTurck and Koiso proved the following celebrated result: the Ricci curvature uniquely determines the Levi-Civita connection on any compact Einstein manifold with non-negative section curvature. In the present paper we generalize the result of DeTurck and Koiso for a Riemannian manifold with...

The natural operators lifting connections to higher order cotangent bundles

Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We prove that the problem of finding all $ℳ f_{m}$ -natural operators $C : Q ⇝ Q T^{r *}$ lifting classical linear connections $\nabla$ on $m$ -manifolds $M$ into classical linear connections $C_{M} (\nabla)$ on the $r$ -th order cotangent bundle $T^{r *} M = J^{r} {(M, ℝ)}_{0}$ of $M$ can be reduced to the well known one of describing all $ℳ f_{m}$ -natural operators $D : Q ⇝ ⨂^{p} T \otimes ⨂^{q} T^{*}$ sending classical linear connections $\nabla$ on $m$ -manifolds $M$ into tensor fields $D_{M} (\nabla)$ of type $(p, q)$ on $M$ .

On "special" fibred coordinates for general and classical connections

Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2010)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Using a general connection Γ on a fibred manifold p:Y → M and a torsion free classical linear connection ∇ on M, we distinguish some “special” fibred coordinate systems on Y, and then we construct a general connection $\tilde{ℱ} (Γ, \nabla)$ on Fp:FY → FM for any vector bundle functor F: ℳ f → of finite order.

Gauge natural constructions on higher order principal prolongations

Miroslav Doupovec, Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2007)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let $W_{m}^{r} P$ be a principal prolongation of a principal bundle P → M. We classify all gauge natural operators transforming principal connections on P → M and rth order linear connections on M into general connections on $W_{m}^{r} P \to M$ . We also describe all geometric constructions of classical linear connections on $W_{m}^{r} P$ from principal connections on P → M and rth order linear connections on M.

How many are equiaffine connections with torsion

Zdeněk Dušek, Oldřich Kowalski (2015)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

The question how many real analytic equiaffine connections with arbitrary torsion exist locally on a smooth manifold $M$ of dimension $n$ is studied. The families of general equiaffine connections and with skew-symmetric Ricci tensor, or with symmetric Ricci tensor, respectively, are described in terms of the number of arbitrary functions of $n$ variables.

Connections of higher order and product preserving functors

Jacek Gancarzewicz, Noureddine Rahmani, Modesto R. Salgado (2002)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

In this paper we consider a product preserving functor $ℱ$ of order $r$ and a connection $Γ$ of order $r$ on a manifold $M$ . We introduce horizontal lifts of tensor fields and linear connections from $M$ to $ℱ (M)$ with respect to $Γ$ . Our definitions and results generalize the particular cases of the tangent bundle and the tangent bundle of higher order.

A construction of a connection on $G Y \to Y$ from a connection on $Y \to M$ by means of classical linear connections on $M$ and $Y$

Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2005)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a bundle functor of order $(r, s, q)$ , $s \geq r \leq q$ , on the category $ℱ ℳ_{m, n}$ of $(m, n)$ -dimensional fibered manifolds and local fibered diffeomorphisms. Given a general connection $Γ$ on an $ℱ ℳ_{m, n}$ -object $Y \to M$ we construct a general connection $𝒢 (Γ, λ, Λ)$ on $G Y \to Y$ be means of an auxiliary $q$ -th order linear connection $λ$ on $M$ and an $s$ -th order linear connection $Λ$ on $Y$ . Then we construct a general connection $𝒢 (Γ, \nabla_{1}, \nabla_{2})$ on $G Y \to Y$ by means of auxiliary classical linear connections $\nabla_{1}$ on $M$ and $\nabla_{2}$ on $Y$ . In the case $G = J^{1}$ we determine all general connections...

Bi-Legendrian connections

Beniamino Cappelletti Montano (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We define the concept of a bi-Legendrian connection associated to a bi-Legendrian structure on an almost -manifold $M^{2 n + r}$ . Among other things, we compute the torsion of this connection and prove that the curvature vanishes along the leaves of the bi-Legendrian structure. Moreover, we prove that if the bi-Legendrian connection is flat, then the bi-Legendrian structure is locally equivalent to the standard structure on $ℝ^{2 n + r}$ .
