Hodge theory for twisted differentials

Daniele Angella, Hisashi Kasuya (2014)

Complex Manifolds

We study cohomologies and Hodge theory for complex manifolds with twisted differentials. In particular, we get another cohomological obstruction for manifolds in class C of Fujiki. We give a Hodgetheoretical proof of the characterization of solvmanifolds in class C of Fujiki, first stated by D. Arapura.

Homogeneous Cartan geometries

Matthias Hammerl (2007)

Archivum Mathematicum

We describe invariant principal and Cartan connections on homogeneous principal bundles and show how to calculate the curvature and the holonomy; in the case of an invariant Cartan connection we give a formula for the infinitesimal automorphisms. The main result of this paper is that the above calculations are purely algorithmic. As an example of an homogeneous parabolic geometry we treat a conformal structure on the product of two spheres.

Homogeneous Einstein manifolds based on symplectic triple systems

Cristina Draper Fontanals (2020)

Communications in Mathematics

For each simple symplectic triple system over the real numbers, the standard enveloping Lie algebra and the algebra of inner derivations of the triple provide a reductive pair related to a semi-Riemannian homogeneous manifold. It is proved that this is an Einstein manifold.

Homogeneous Einstein metrics on Stiefel manifolds

Andreas Arvanitoyeorgos (1996)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A Stiefel manifold V k 𝐑 n is the set of orthonormal k -frames in 𝐑 n , and it is diffeomorphic to the homogeneous space S O ( n ) / S O ( n - k ) . We study S O ( n ) -invariant Einstein metrics on this space. We determine when the standard metric on S O ( n ) / S O ( n - k ) is Einstein, and we give an explicit solution to the Einstein equation for the space V 2 𝐑 n .

Homogeneous Geodesics in 3-dimensional Homogeneous Affine Manifolds

Zdeněk Dušek, Oldřich Kowalski, Zdeněk Vlášek (2011)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

For studying homogeneous geodesics in Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian geometry (on reductive homogeneous spaces) there is a simple algebraic formula which works, at least potentially, in every given case. In the affine differential geometry, there is not such a universal formula. In the previous work, we proposed a simple method of investigation of homogeneous geodesics in homogeneous affine manifolds in dimension 2. In the present paper, we use this method on certain classes of homogeneous connections...

Homogeneous geodesics in a three-dimensional Lie group

Rosa Anna Marinosci (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

O. Kowalski and J. Szenthe [KS] proved that every homogeneous Riemannian manifold admits at least one homogeneous geodesic, i.eȯne geodesic which is an orbit of a one-parameter group of isometries. In [KNV] the related two problems were studied and a negative answer was given to both ones: (1) Let M = K / H be a homogeneous Riemannian manifold where K is the largest connected group of isometries and dim M 3 . Does M always admit more than one homogeneous geodesic? (2) Suppose that M = K / H admits m = dim M linearly independent...

Homogeneous hessian manifolds

Hirohiko Shima (1980)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

A flat affine manifold is said to Hessian if it is endowed with a Riemannian metric whose local expression has the form g i j = 2 Φ x i x j where Φ is a C -function and { x 1 , ... , x n } is an affine local coordinate system. Let M be a Hessian manifold. We show that if M is homogeneous, the universal covering manifold of M is a convex domain in R n and admits a uniquely determined fibering, whose base space is a homogeneous convex domain not containing any full straight line, and whose fiber is an affine subspace of R n .

Homogeneous quaternionic Kähler structures on Alekseevskian 𝒲-spaces

Wafaa Batat, P. M. Gadea, Jaime Muñoz Masqué (2012)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The homogeneous quaternionic Kähler structures on the Alekseevskian 𝒲-spaces with their natural quaternionic structures, each of these spaces described as a solvable Lie group, and the type of such structures in Fino's classification, are found.

Homogeneous Randers spaces admitting just two homogeneous geodesics

Zdeněk Dušek (2019)

Archivum Mathematicum

The existence of a homogeneous geodesic in homogeneous Finsler manifolds was investigated and positively answered in previous papers. It is conjectured that this result can be improved, namely that any homogeneous Finsler manifold admits at least two homogenous geodesics. Examples of homogeneous Randers manifolds admitting just two homogeneous geodesics are presented.

Homogeneous Riemannian manifolds with generic Ricci tensor

Włodzimierz Jelonek (2001)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We describe homogeneous manifolds with generic Ricci tensor. We also prove that if 𝔤 is a 4-dimensional unimodular Lie algebra such that dim[𝔤,𝔤] ≤ 2 then every left-invariant metric on the Lie group G with Lie algebra 𝔤 admits two mutually opposite compatible left-invariant almost Kähler structures.
