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...

On new characterization of inextensible flows of space-like curves in de Sitter space

Mustafa Yeneroğlu (2016)

Open Mathematics

Elastica and inextensible flows of curves play an important role in practical applications. In this paper, we construct a new characterization of inextensible flows by using elastica in space. The inextensible flow is completely determined for any space-like curve in de Sitter space [...] S 1 3 𝕊 1 3 . Finally, we give some characterizations for curvatures of a space-like curve in de Sitter space [...] S 1 3 𝕊 1 3 .

On some properties of induced almost contact structures

Zuzanna Szancer (2015)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Real affine hypersurfaces of the complex space n + 1 with a J-tangent transversal vector field and an induced almost contact structure (φ,ξ,η) are studied. Some properties of the induced almost contact structures are proved. In particular, we prove some properties of the induced structure when the distribution is involutive. Some constraints on a shape operator when the induced almost contact structure is either normal or ξ-invariant are also given.
