Kikkawa loops and homogeneous loops

Michihiko Kikkawa (2004)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In H. Kiechle's publication ``Theory of K-loops'' [3], the name Kikkawa loops is given to symmetric loops introduced by the author in 1973. This concept started from an analogical imagination of sum of vectors in Euclidean space brought up on a sphere. In 1975, this concept was extended by him to the more general concept of homogeneous loops, and it led us to a non-associative generalization of the theory of Lie groups. In this article, the backstage of finding these concepts will be disclosed from...

Killing spinor-valued forms and the cone construction

Petr Somberg, Petr Zima (2016)

Archivum Mathematicum

On a pseudo-Riemannian manifold 𝕄 we introduce a system of partial differential Killing type equations for spinor-valued differential forms, and study their basic properties. We discuss the relationship between solutions of Killing equations on 𝕄 and parallel fields on the metric cone over 𝕄 for spinor-valued forms.

Killing tensors and warped product

Włodzimierz Jelonek (2000)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We present some examples of Killing tensors and give their geometric interpretation. We give new examples of non-compact complete and compact Riemannian manifolds whose Ricci tensor ϱ satisfies the condition X ϱ ( X , X ) = 2 / ( n + 2 ) X τ g ( X , X )

Knots in S 2 x S 1 derived from Sym(2, ℝ)

Sang Lee, Yongdo Lim, Chan-Young Park (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We realize closed geodesics on the real conformal compactification of the space V = Sym(2, ℝ) of all 2 × 2 real symmetric matrices as knots or 2-component links in S 2 × S 1 and show that these knots or links have certain types of symmetry of period 2.
