Some Notes on the Radon Transform and Integral Geometry.
It is shown that the spheres S^(2n) (resp: S^k with k ≡ 1 mod 4) can be given neither an indefinite metric of any signature (resp: of signature (r, k − r) with 2 ≤ r ≤ k − 2) nor an almost paracomplex structure. Further for every given Riemannian metric on an almost para-Hermitian manifold with the associated 2-form φ one can construct an almost Hermitian structure (under certain conditions, two different almost Hermitian structures) whose associated 2-form(s) is φ.
We discuss the existence of closed geodesic on a Riemannian manifold and the existence of periodic solution of second order Hamiltonian systems.
Using the exact representation of Carnot-Carathéodory balls in the Heisenberg group, we prove that: 1. in the classical sense for all with , where is the distance from the origin; 2. Metric balls are not optimal isoperimetric sets in the Heisenberg group.
In this study, we introduce a new class of function called geodesic semi E-b-vex functions and generalized geodesic semi E-b-vex functions and discuss some of their properties.
The aim of this paper is to study generalized recurrent, generalized Ricci-recurrent, weakly symmetric and weakly Ricci-symmetric, semi-generalized recurrent, semi-generalized Ricci-recurrent Lorentzian -Sasakian manifold with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection. Finally, we give an example of 3-dimensional Lorentzian -Sasakian manifold with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection.
A Walker 4-manifold is a pseudo-Riemannian manifold (M₄,g) of neutral signature, which admits a field of parallel null 2-planes. We study almost paracomplex structures on 4-dimensional para-Kähler-Walker manifolds. In particular, we obtain conditions under which these almost paracomplex structures are integrable, and the corresponding para-Kähler forms are symplectic. We also show that Petean's example of a nonflat indefinite Kähler-Einstein 4-manifold is a special case of our constructions.
Let be a smooth manifold. The tangent lift of Dirac structure on was originally studied by T. Courant in [3]. The tangent lift of higher order of Dirac structure on has been studied in [10], where tangent Dirac structure of higher order are described locally. In this paper we give an intrinsic construction of tangent Dirac structure of higher order denoted by and we study some properties of this Dirac structure. In particular, we study the Lie algebroid and the presymplectic foliation...
