-convex Riemannian submanifolds.
Arnold conjectured that every Legendrian knot in the standard contact structure on the 3-sphere possesses a haracteristic chord with respect to any contact form. I confirm this conjecture if the know has Thurston-Bennequin invariant . More generally, existence of chords is proved for a standard Legendrian unknot on the boundary of a subcritical Stein manifold of any dimension. There is also a multiplicity result which implies in some situations existence of infinitely many chords. The proof relies...
As a generalization of anti-invariant Riemannian submersions and Lagrangian Riemannian submersions, we introduce the notions of h-anti-invariant submersions and h-Lagrangian submersions from almost quaternionic Hermitian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. We obtain characterizations and investigate some properties: the integrability of distributions, the geometry of foliations, and the harmonicity of such maps. We also find a condition for such maps to be totally geodesic and give some examples...
We give here a generalization of the theory of optimal destabilizing 1-parameter subgroups to non algebraic complex geometry : we consider holomorphic actions of a complex reductive Lie group on a finite dimensional (possibly non compact) Kähler manifold. In a second part we show how these results may extend in the gauge theoretical framework and we discuss the relation between the Harder-Narasimhan filtration and the optimal detstabilizing vectors of a non semistable object....
The exceptional compact symmetric spaces and 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.
We compute the energy of conformal flows on Riemannian manifolds and we prove that conformal flows on manifolds of constant curvature are critical if and only if they are isometric.
