Parallelisability conditions for differentiable three-webs.
Our aim is to find conditions under which a 3-web on a smooth -dimensional manifold is locally equivalent with a web formed by three systems of parallel -planes in . We will present here a new approach to this “classical” problem using projectors onto the distributions of tangent subspaces to the leaves of foliations forming the web.
Tout parallélisme absolu d’une variété lorentzienne complète et simplement connexe respecte une décomposition de de Rham ; dans le cas faiblement irréductible mais non irréductible, la variété est un groupe de Lie résoluble.
Jean-Marc Richard observed in [7] that maximal perimeter of a parallelogram inscribed in a given ellipse can be realized by a parallelogram with one vertex at any prescribed point of ellipse. Alain Connes and Don Zagier gave in [4] probably the most elementary proof of this property of ellipse. Another proof can be found in [1]. In this note we prove that closed, convex curves having circles as π/2-isoptics have the similar property.
In this paper we introduce paraquaternionic CR-submanifolds of almost paraquaternionic hermitian manifolds and state some basic results on their differential geometry. We also study a class of semi-Riemannian submersions from paraquaternionic CR-submanifolds of paraquaternionic Kähler manifolds.
We determine the maximal number of independent holomorphic functions on the Thurston manifolds , r ≥ 1, which are the first discovered compact non-Kähler almost Kähler manifolds. We follow the method which involves analyzing the torsion tensor dθ modθ, where are independent (1,0)-forms.
First, by using the formulae of Krupka, the trace decomposition for some particular classes of tensors of types (1, 2) and (1, 3) is obtained. Second, it is proved that the traceless part of a tensor is an almost projective invariant of weight 1. We apply this result to Weyl curvature tensors.
Après avoir enrichi la notion de connexion entre 1922 et 1925, Élie Cartan jette entre 1925 et 1930 les bases de l’étude topologique et géométrique globale des groupes de Lie et variétés homogènes. Nous voulons montrer que ce passage aux questions globales s’accompagne d’une réorganisation complète, aux niveaux théorique, thématique et rhétorique, autour d’une polarité local / global jusque là absente des travaux de Cartan ; elle remplace, selon nous, une polarité infinitésimal / fini héritée du...
