Compact Quadratic s-Manifolds
We study local equivalence of left-invariant metrics with the same curvature on Lie groups and of dimension three, when is unimodular and is non-unimodular.
In this paper we investigate one-dimensional sectional curvatures of Riemannian manifolds, conformal deformations of the Riemannian metrics and the structure of locally conformally homogeneous Riemannian manifolds. We prove that the nonnegativity of the one-dimensional sectional curvature of a homogeneous Riemannian space attracts nonnegativity of the Ricci curvature and we show that the inverse is incorrect with the help of the theorems O. Kowalski-S. Nikčevi'c [K-N], D. Alekseevsky-B. Kimelfeld...
In this paper we obtain an interesting relation between the covariant derivatives of the Jacobi operator valid for all geodesic on the flag manifold . As a consequence, an explicit expression of the Jacobi operator independent of the geodesic can be obtained on such a manifold. Moreover, we show the way to calculate the Jacobi vector fields on this manifold by a new formula valid on every g.o. space.
This paper gives a description of a method of direct construction of the BGG sequences of invariant operators on manifolds with AHS structures on the base of representation theoretical data of the Lie algebra defining the AHS structure. Several examples of the method are shown.
Nous présentons une condition suffisante pour qu’un compact dans le groupe de Heisenberg (muni de sa structure de Carnot-Carathéodory) soit contenu dans une courbe rectifiable. Cette condition est aussi nécessaire dans le cas de courbes régulières (en particulier, des géodésiques) et elle est inspirée du lemme géométrique faible du à Peter Jones dans le cas euclidien. Cette note repose sur l’exposé fait par le troisième auteur (au Séminaire X-EDP) et décrit les principaux résultats de l’article...
Curvature homogeneity of (torsion-free) affine connections on manifolds is an adaptation of a concept introduced by I. M. Singer. We analyze completely the relationship between curvature homogeneity of higher order and local homogeneity on two-dimensional manifolds.
