Diffeomorphisms conformal on distributions

Kamil Niedziałomski (2009)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Let f:M → N be a local diffeomorphism between Riemannian manifolds. We define the eigenvalues of f to be the eigenvalues of the self-adjoint, positive definite operator df*df:TM → TM, where df* denotes the operator adjoint to df. We show that if f is conformal on a distribution D, then d i m V λ 2 d i m D - d i m M , where V λ denotes the eigenspace corresponding to the coefficient of conformality λ of f. Moreover, if f has distinct eigenvalues, then there is locally a distribution D such that f is conformal on D if and only...

Differential forms, Weitzenböck formulae and foliations.

Hansklaus Rummler (1989)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The Weitzenböck formulae express the Laplacian of a differential form on an oriented Riemannian manifold in local coordinates, using the covariant derivatives of the form and the coefficients of the curvature tensor. In the first part, we shall describe a certain "differential algebra formalism" which seems to be a more natural frame for those formulae than the usual calculations in local coordinates.In this formalism there appear some interesting differential operators which may also be used to...

Epsilon Nielsen coincidence theory

Marcio Fenille (2014)

Open Mathematics

We construct an epsilon coincidence theory which generalizes, in some aspect, the epsilon fixed point theory proposed by Robert Brown in 2006. Given two maps f, g: X → Y from a well-behaved topological space into a metric space, we define µ ∈(f, g) to be the minimum number of coincidence points of any maps f 1 and g 1 such that f 1 is ∈ 1-homotopic to f, g 1 is ∈ 2-homotopic to g and ∈ 1 + ∈ 2 < ∈. We prove that if Y is a closed Riemannian manifold, then it is possible to attain µ ∈(f, g) moving...

Examples of nonsemisymmetric Ricci-semisymmetric hypersurfaces

Ryszard Deszcz, Malgorzata Głogowska (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We construct a class of nonsemisymmetric Ricci-semisymmetric warped products. Some manifolds of this class can be locally realized as hypersurfaces of a semi-Euclidean space s n + 1 , n ≥ 5.

Extended Derdziński-Shen theorem for curvature tensors

Carlo Alberto Mantica, Luca Guido Molinari (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We extend a remarkable theorem of Derdziński and Shen, on the restrictions imposed on the Riemann tensor by the existence of a nontrivial Codazzi tensor. We show that the Codazzi equation can be replaced by a more general algebraic condition. The resulting extension applies both to the Riemann tensor and to generalized curvature tensors.

Extremal domains for the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator

Frank Pacard, Pieralberto Sicbaldi (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove the existence of extremal domains with small prescribed volume for the first eigenvalue of Laplace-Beltrami operator in some Riemannian manifold. These domains are close to geodesic spheres of small radius centered at a nondegenerate critical point of the scalar curvature.

∇-flat functions on manifolds

Wojciech Kozłowski (2004)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We investigate ∇-flat and pointwise-∇-flat functions on affine and Riemannian manifolds. We show that the set of all ∇-flat functions on (M,∇) is a ring which has interesting properties similar to the ring of polynomial functions.

Geometric structures of stable output feedback systems

Zhenning Zhang, Huafei Sun, Fengwei Zhong (2009)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we investigate the geometric structures of the stable time-varying and the stable static output feedback systems. Firstly, we give a parametrization of stabilizing time-varying output feedback gains subject to certain constraints, that is, the subset of stabilizing time-varying output feedback gains is diffeomorphic to the Cartesian product of the set of time-varying positive definite matrices and the set of time-varying skew symmetric matrices satisfying certain algebraic conditions....
