On compact homogeneous symplectic manifolds

P. B. Zwart, William M. Boothby (1980)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

In this paper the authors study compact homogeneous spaces G / K (of a Lie group G ) on which there if defined a G -invariant symplectic form Ω . It is an important feature of the paper that very little is assumed concerning G and K . The essential assumptions are: (1) G is connected and (2) K is uniform (i.e., G / K is compact). Further, for convenience only and with no loss of generality, it is supposed that G is simply connected and K contains no connected normal subgroup of G , i.e., that G acts almost effectively...

On geometry of curves of flags of constant type

Boris Doubrov, Igor Zelenko (2012)

Open Mathematics

We develop an algebraic version of Cartan’s method of equivalence or an analog of Tanaka prolongation for the (extrinsic) geometry of curves of flags of a vector space W with respect to the action of a subgroup G of GL(W). Under some natural assumptions on the subgroup G and on the flags, one can pass from the filtered objects to the corresponding graded objects and describe the construction of canonical bundles of moving frames for these curves in the language of pure linear algebra. The scope...

On local isometric immersions into complex and quaternionic projective spaces

Hans Jakob Rivertz (2011)

Archivum Mathematicum

We will prove that if an open subset of P n is isometrically immersed into P m , with m < ( 4 / 3 ) n - 2 / 3 , then the image is totally geodesic. We will also prove that if an open subset of P n isometrically immersed into P m , with m < ( 4 / 3 ) n - 5 / 6 , then the image is totally geodesic.

On naturally reductive left-invariant metrics of SL ( 2 , )

Stefan Halverscheid, Andrea Iannuzzi (2006)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

On any real semisimple Lie group we consider a one-parameter family of left-invariant naturally reductive metrics. Their geodesic flow in terms of Killing curves, the Levi Civita connection and the main curvature properties are explicitly computed. Furthermore we present a group theoretical revisitation of a classical realization of all simply connected 3-dimensional manifolds with a transitive group of isometries due to L. Bianchi and É. Cartan. As a consequence one obtains a characterization of...
