Tangent Lie algebras to the holonomy group of a Finsler manifold

Zoltán Muzsnay, Péter T. Nagy (2011)

Communications in Mathematics

Our goal in this paper is to make an attempt to find the largest Lie algebra of vector fields on the indicatrix such that all its elements are tangent to the holonomy group of a Finsler manifold. First, we introduce the notion of the curvature algebra, generated by curvature vector fields, then we define the infinitesimal holonomy algebra by the smallest Lie algebra of vector fields on an indicatrix, containing the curvature vector fields and their horizontal covariant derivatives with respect to...

Tangent Lines and Lipschitz Differentiability Spaces

Fabio Cavalletti, Tapio Rajala (2016)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

We study the existence of tangent lines, i.e. subsets of the tangent space isometric to the real line, in tangent spaces of metric spaces.We first revisit the almost everywhere metric differentiability of Lipschitz continuous curves. We then show that any blow-up done at a point of metric differentiability and of density one for the domain of the curve gives a tangent line. Metric differentiability enjoys a Borel measurability property and this will permit us to use it in the framework of Lipschitz...

Tensor approach to multidimensional webs

Alena Vanžurová (1998)

Mathematica Bohemica

An anholonomic ( n + 1 ) -web of dimension r is considered as an ( n + 1 ) -tuple of r -dimensional distributions in general position. We investigate a family of ( 1 , 1 ) -tensor fields (projectors and nilpotents associated with a web in a natural way) which will be used for characterization of all linear connections on a manifold preserving the given web.

The Dolbeault operator on Hermitian spin surfaces

Bodgan Alexandrov, Gueo Grantcharov, Stefan Ivanov (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove the vanishing of the kernel of the Dolbeault operator of the square root of the canonical line bundle of a compact Hermitian spin surface with positive scalar curvature. We give lower estimates of the eigenvalues of this operator when the conformal scalar curvature is non -negative.
