On third order semiholonomic prolongation of a connection

Petr Vašík (2011)

Banach Center Publications

We recall several different definitions of semiholonomic jet prolongations of a fibered manifold and use them to derive some interesting properties of prolongation of a first order connection to a third order semiholonomic connection.

On torsion of a 3 -web

Alena Vanžurová (1995)

Mathematica Bohemica

A 3-web on a smooth 2 n -dimensional manifold can be regarded locally as a triple of integrable n -distributions which are pairwise complementary, [5]; that is, we can work on the tangent bundle only. This approach enables us to describe a 3 -web and its properties by invariant ( 1 , 1 ) -tensor fields P and B where P is a projector and B 2 = id. The canonical Chern connection of a web-manifold can be introduced using this tensor fields, [1]. Our aim is to express the torsion tensor T of the Chern connection through...

On total curvature of immersions and minimal submanifolds of spheres

Giovanni Rotondaro (1993)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

For closed immersed submanifolds of Euclidean spaces, we prove that | μ | 2 d V V / R 2 , where μ is the mean curvature field, V the volume of the given submanifold and R is the radius of the smallest sphere enclosing the submanifold. Moreover, we prove that the equality holds only for minimal submanifolds of this sphere.

On totally umbilical submanifolds of Finsler spaces

Qun He, Wei Yang, Wei Zhao (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The notion of a totally umbilical submanifold of a Finsler manifold is introduced. Some Gauss equations are given and some results on totally umbilical submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds are generalized. Totally umbilical submanifolds of Randers spaces are studied; a rigidity theorem and an example are given.
