A canonical connection associated with certain -structures
We construct series of examples of non-flat non-homogeneous parabolic geometries that carry a symmetry of the parabolic geometry at each point.
We define a distance between submanifolds of a riemannian manifold and show that, if a compact submanifold is not moved too much under the isometric action of a compact group , there is a -invariant submanifold -close to . The proof involves a procedure of averaging nearby submanifolds of riemannian manifolds in a symmetric way. The procedure combines averaging techniques of Cartan, Grove/Karcher, and de la Harpe/Karoubi with Whitney’s idea of realizing submanifolds as zeros of sections...
We discuss which semisimple locally symmetric spaces admit an AHS-structure invariant under local symmetries. We classify them for all types of AHS-structures and determine possible equivalence classes of such AHS-structures.
We consider a vector bundle and the principal bundle of frames of . Let be a principal connection on and let be a linear connection on . We classify all principal connections on naturally given by and .
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the integrability of one type of multisymplectic 3-forms on a 6-dimensional manifold.
In 2001, B. Malgrange defines the D-envelope or galoisian envelope of an analytical dynamical system. Roughly speaking, this is the algebraic hull of the dynamical system. In this short article, the D-envelope of a rational map R: P1 --> P1 is computed. The rational maps characterised by a finitness property of their D-envelope appear to be the integrable ones.
