Canonical nonlinear connections in the multi-time Hamilton geometry.
Let M be a smooth manifold of dimension m>0, and denote by the canonical Nijenhuis tensor on TM. Let Π be a Poisson bivector on M and the complete lift of Π on TM. In a previous paper, we have shown that is a Poisson-Nijenhuis manifold. Recently, the higher order tangent lifts of Poisson manifolds from M to have been studied and some properties were given. Furthermore, the canonical Nijenhuis tensors on are described by A. Cabras and I. Kolář [Arch. Math. (Brno) 38 (2002), 243-257],...
We describe all canonical 2-forms Λ(ω) on the r-th order tangent bundle TrM = Jr0 (R;M) of a symplectic manifold (M, ω). As a corollary we deduce that all canonical symplectic structures Λ(ω) on TrM over a symplectic manifold (M, ω) are of the form Λ(ω) = Σrk=0 αkω(k) for all real numbers αk with αr ≠ 0, where ω(k) is the (k)-lift (in the sense of A. Morimoto) of ω to TrM.
The purpose of this paper is to define transversal Cartan connection of Finsler foliation and to prove its existence and uniqueness.
In this paper we discuss planar quadrilateral (PQ) nets as discrete models for convex affine surfaces. As a main result, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a PQ net to admit a Lelieuvre co-normal vector field. Particular attention is given to the class of surfaces with discrete harmonic co-normals, which we call discrete affine minimal surfaces, and the subclass of surfaces with co-planar discrete harmonic co-normals, which we call discrete improper affine spheres. Within this classes,...
We study the geometry of the second fundamental form of a Cauchy-Riemann submanifold of a Kaehlerian Finsler space M2n; any totally-real submanifold of M2n with v-flat normal connection is shown to be a Berwald-Cartan space.
This is mainly a survey on the theory of caustics and wave front propagations with applications to differential geometry of hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. We give a brief review of the general theory of caustics and wave front propagations, which are well-known now. We also consider a relationship between caustics and wave front propagations which might be new. Moreover, we apply this theory to differential geometry of hypersurfaces, getting new geometric properties.
