Characterization of higher-order tangent bundles.
In this paper,we give the characterization of metric measure spaces that satisfy synthetic lower Riemannian Ricci curvature bounds (so called RCD*(K, N) spaces) with non-empty one dimensional regular sets. In particular, we prove that the class of Ricci limit spaces with Ric ≥ K and Hausdorff dimension N and the class of RCD*(K, N) spaces coincide for N < 2 (They can be either complete intervals or circles). We will also prove a Bishop-Gromov type inequality (that is ,roughly speaking, a converse...
In this paper we characterize totally umbilic hypersurfaces in a space form by a property of the extrinsic shape of circles on hypersurfaces. This characterization corresponds to characterizations of isoparametric hypersurfaces in a space form by properties of the extrinsic shape of geodesics due to Kimura-Maeda.
In the present paper we study characterizations of odd and even dimensional mixed generalized quasi-Einstein manifold. Next we prove that a mixed generalized quasi-Einstein manifold is a generalized quasi-Einstein manifold under a certain condition. Then we obtain three and four dimensional examples of mixed generalized quasi-Einstein manifold to ensure the existence of such manifold. Finally we establish the examples of warped product on mixed generalized quasi-Einstein manifold.
We prove that a connected complex space form (,g,J) with n ≥ 4 can be characterized by the Ricci-semi-symmetry condition and by the semi-parallel condition , considering special choices of tangent vectors to small geodesic spheres or geodesic tubes (that is, tubes about geodesics), where , and denote the Riemann curvature tensor, the corresponding Ricci tensor of type (0,2) and the second fundamental form of the spheres or tubes and where acts as a derivation.
We outline some of the tools C. Ehresmann introduced in Differential Geometry (fiber bundles, connections, jets, groupoids, pseudogroups). We emphasize two aspects of C. Ehresmann's works: use of Cartan notations for the theory of connections and semi-holonomic jets.
