On the geometry of some para-hypercomplex Lie groups

H. R. Salimi Moghaddam (2009)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper, firstly we study some left invariant Riemannian metrics on para-hypercomplex 4-dimensional Lie groups. In each Lie group, the Levi-Civita connection and sectional curvature have been given explicitly. We also show these spaces have constant negative scalar curvatures. Then by using left invariant Riemannian metrics introduced in the first part, we construct some left invariant Randers metrics of Berwald type. The explicit formulas for computing flag curvature have been obtained in...

On the local moduli space of locally homogeneous affine connections in plane domains

Oldřich Kowalski, Zdeněk Vlášek (2003)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Classification of locally homogeneous affine connections in two dimensions is a nontrivial problem. (See [5] and [7] for two different versions of the solution.) Using a basic formula by B. Opozda, [7], we prove that all locally homogeneous torsion-less affine connections defined in open domains of a 2-dimensional manifold depend essentially on at most 4 parameters (see Theorem 2.4).

On the notion of Jacobi fields in constrained calculus of variations

Enrico Massa, Enrico Pagani (2016)

Communications in Mathematics

In variational calculus, the minimality of a given functional under arbitrary deformations with fixed end-points is established through an analysis of the so called second variation. In this paper, the argument is examined in the context of constrained variational calculus, assuming piecewise differentiable extremals, commonly referred to as extremaloids. The approach relies on the existence of a fully covariant representation of the second variation of the action functional, based on a family of...

On the quadric CMC spacelike hypersurfaces in Lorentzian space forms

Cícero P. Aquino, Henrique F. de Lima, Fábio R. dos Santos (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We deal with complete spacelike hypersurfaces immersed with constant mean curvature in a Lorentzian space form. Under the assumption that the support functions with respect to a fixed nonzero vector are linearly related, we prove that such a hypersurface must be either totally umbilical or isometric to a hyperbolic cylinder of the ambient space.

On the Regularity of Alexandrov Surfaces with Curvature Bounded Below

Luigi Ambrosio, Jérôme Bertrand (2016)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

In this note, we prove that on a surface with Alexandrov’s curvature bounded below, the distance derives from a Riemannian metric whose components, for any p ∈ [1, 2), locally belong to W1,p out of a discrete singular set. This result is based on Reshetnyak’s work on the more general class of surfaces with bounded integral curvature.
