Differential geometry of Cartan domains of type four

Chiara De Fabritiis (1990)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this note we compute the sectional curvature for the Bergman metric of the Cartan domain of type IV and we give a classification of complex totally geodesic manifolds for this metric.

Dirac and Plateau billiards in domains with corners

Misha Gromov (2014)

Open Mathematics

Groping our way toward a theory of singular spaces with positive scalar curvatures we look at the Dirac operator and a generalized Plateau problem in Riemannian manifolds with corners. Using these, we prove that the set of C 2-smooth Riemannian metrics g on a smooth manifold X, such that scalg(x) ≥ κ(x), is closed under C 0-limits of Riemannian metrics for all continuous functions κ on X. Apart from that our progress is limited but we formulate many conjectures. All along, we emphasize geometry,...

Einstein-Weyl structures on lightlike hypersurfaces

Cyriaque Atindogbe, Lionel Bérard-Bergery, Carlos Ogouyandjou (2013)

Open Mathematics

We study Weyl structures on lightlike hypersurfaces endowed with a conformal structure of certain type and specific screen distribution: the Weyl screen structures. We investigate various differential geometric properties of Einstein-Weyl screen structures on lightlike hypersurfaces and show that, for ambient Lorentzian space ℝ1n+2 and a totally umbilical screen foliation, there is a strong interplay with the induced (Riemannian) Weyl-structure on the leaves.
