Margulis Lemma, entropy and free products

Filippo Cerocchi (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove a Margulis’ Lemma à la Besson-Courtois-Gallot, for manifolds whose fundamental group is a nontrivial free product A * B , without 2-torsion. Moreover, if A * B is torsion-free we give a lower bound for the homotopy systole in terms of upper bounds on the diameter and the volume-entropy. We also provide examples and counterexamples showing the optimality of our assumption. Finally we give two applications of this result: a finiteness theorem and a volume estimate for reducible manifolds.

Metric of special 2F-flat Riemannian spaces

Raad J. K. al Lami (2005)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

In this paper we find the metric in an explicit shape of special 2 F -flat Riemannian spaces V n , i.e. spaces, which are 2 F -planar mapped on flat spaces. In this case it is supposed, that F is the cubic structure: F 3 = I .

Métriques riemanniennes holomorphes en petite dimension

Sorin Dumitrescu (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Nous étudions les métriques riemanniennes holomorphes sur les variétés complexes compactes de dimension 3 . Nous montrons que, contrairement au cas réel, une métrique riemannienne holomorphe possède un “grand” pseudo-groupe d’isométries locales. Ceci implique qu’une telle métrique n’existe pas sur les variétés complexes compactes simplement connexes de dimension 3 .

Metrizability of connections on two-manifolds

Alena Vanžurová, Petra Žáčková (2009)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

We contribute to the reverse of the Fundamental Theorem of Riemannian geometry: if a symmetric linear connection on a manifold is given, find non-degenerate metrics compatible with the connection (locally or globally) if there are any. The problem is not easy in general. For nowhere flat 2 -manifolds, we formulate necessary and sufficient metrizability conditions. In the favourable case, we describe all compatible metrics in terms of the Ricci tensor. We propose an application in the calculus of...

Metrization of connections with regular curvature

Alena Vanžurová (2009)

Archivum Mathematicum

We discuss Riemannian metrics compatible with a linear connection that has regular curvature. Combining (mostly algebraic) methods and results of [4] and [5] we give an algorithm which allows to decide effectively existence of positive definite metrics compatible with a real analytic connection with regular curvature tensor on an analytic connected and simply connected manifold, and to construct the family of compatible metrics (determined up to a scalar multiple) in the affirmative case. We also...

Metrization problem for linear connections and holonomy algebras

Alena Vanžurová (2008)

Archivum Mathematicum

We contribute to the following: given a manifold endowed with a linear connection, decide whether the connection arises from some metric tensor. Compatibility condition for a metric is given by a system of ordinary differential equations. Our aim is to emphasize the role of holonomy algebra in comparison with certain more classical approaches, and propose a possible application in the Calculus of Variations (for a particular type of second order system of ODE’s, which define geodesics of a linear...

Minimal submanifolds in 4 with a g.c.K. structure

Marian-Ioan Munteanu (2008)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper we obtain all invariant, anti-invariant and C R submanifolds in ( 4 , g , J ) endowed with a globally conformal Kähler structure which are minimal and tangent or normal to the Lee vector field of the g.c.K. structure.
