On the spectrum of Riemannian submersions with totally geodesic fibers

Gérard Besson, Manlio Bordoni (1990)

Similarity:

In this Note we give a rule to compute explicitely the spectrum and the eigenfunctions of the total space of a Riemannian submersion with totally geodesic fibers, in terms of the spectra and eigenfunctions of the typical fiber and any associated principal bundle.

Riemannian manifolds in which certain curvature operator has constant eigenvalues along each helix

Yana Alexieva, Stefan Ivanov (1999)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

Riemannian manifolds for which a natural skew-symmetric curvature operator has constant eigenvalues on helices are studied. A local classification in dimension three is given. In the three dimensional case one gets all locally symmetric spaces and all Riemannian manifolds with the constant principal Ricci curvatures r 1 = r 2 = 0 , r 3 ≠ 0 , which are not locally homogeneous, in general.

On naturally reductive left-invariant metrics of SL ( 2 , ℝ )

Stefan Halverscheid, Andrea Iannuzzi (2006)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

On any real semisimple Lie group we consider a one-parameter family of left-invariant naturally reductive metrics. Their geodesic flow in terms of Killing curves, the Levi Civita connection and the main curvature properties are explicitly computed. Furthermore we present a group theoretical revisitation of a classical realization of all simply connected 3-dimensional manifolds with a transitive group of isometries due to L. Bianchi and É. Cartan. As a consequence one obtains a characterization...
