Removability of singularities of harmonic maps into pseudo-riemannian manifolds
The purpose of this paper is to investigate Ricci-flatness of left-invariant Lorentzian metrics on 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. We first show that if is a Ricci-flat left-invariant Lorentzian metric on a 2-step nilpotent Lie group , then the restriction of to the center of the Lie algebra of is degenerate. We then characterize the 2-step nilpotent Lie groups which can be endowed with a Ricci-flat left-invariant Lorentzian metric, and we deduce from this that a Heisenberg Lie group can be...
This paper is a contribution to the mathematical modelling of the hump effect. We present a mathematical study (existence, homogenization) of a Hamilton-Jacobi problem which represents the propagation of a front flame in a striated media.
The present paper is concerned with obtaining a classification regarding to four-dimensional semi-symmetric neutral Lie groups. Moreover, we discuss some geometric properties of these spaces. We exhibit a rich class of non-Einstein Ricci soliton examples.
It is shown that the spheres S^(2n) (resp: S^k with k ≡ 1 mod 4) can be given neither an indefinite metric of any signature (resp: of signature (r, k − r) with 2 ≤ r ≤ k − 2) nor an almost paracomplex structure. Further for every given Riemannian metric on an almost para-Hermitian manifold with the associated 2-form φ one can construct an almost Hermitian structure (under certain conditions, two different almost Hermitian structures) whose associated 2-form(s) is φ.
In this Note we deal with the problem of the existence of geodesies joining two given points of certain non-complete Lorentz manifolds, of which the Schwarzschild spacetime is the simplest physical example.
