Metric trees in the Gromov--Hausdorff space

Yoshito Ishiki (2023)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Using the wedge sum of metric spaces, for all compact metrizable spaces, we construct a topological embedding of the compact metrizable space into the set of all metric trees in the Gromov--Hausdorff space with finite prescribed values. As its application, we show that the set of all metric trees is path-connected and all its nonempty open subsets have infinite topological dimension.

Metrics in the sphere of a C*-module

Esteban Andruchow, Alejandro Varela (2007)

Open Mathematics

Given a unital C*-algebra 𝒜 and a right C*-module 𝒳 over 𝒜 , we consider the problem of finding short smooth curves in the sphere 𝒮 𝒳 = x ∈ 𝒳 : 〈x, x〉 = 1. Curves in 𝒮 𝒳 are measured considering the Finsler metric which consists of the norm of 𝒳 at each tangent space of 𝒮 𝒳 . The initial value problem is solved, for the case when 𝒜 is a von Neumann algebra and 𝒳 is selfdual: for any element x 0 ∈ 𝒮 𝒳 and any tangent vector ν at x 0, there exists a curve γ(t) = e tZ(x 0), Z ∈ 𝒜 ( 𝒳 ) , Z* = −Z and ∥Z∥ ≤ π, such...

Metrics with cone singularities along normal crossing divisors and holomorphic tensor fields

Frédéric Campana, Henri Guenancia, Mihai Păun (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We prove the existence of non-positively curved Kähler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities along a given simple normal crossing divisor of a compact Kähler manifold, under a technical condition on the cone angles, and we also discuss the case of positively-curved Kähler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities. As an application we extend to this setting classical results of Lichnerowicz and Kobayashi on the parallelism and vanishing of appropriate holomorphic tensor fields.

Metrics with homogeneous geodesics on flag manifolds

Dimitri V. Alekseevsky, Andreas Arvanitoyeorgos (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A geodesic of a homogeneous Riemannian manifold ( M = G / K , g ) is called homogeneous if it is an orbit of an one-parameter subgroup of G . In the case when M = G / H is a naturally reductive space, that is the G -invariant metric g is defined by some non degenerate biinvariant symmetric bilinear form B , all geodesics of M are homogeneous. We consider the case when M = G / K is a flag manifold, i.eȧn adjoint orbit of a compact semisimple Lie group G , and we give a simple necessary condition that M admits a non-naturally reductive...

Métriques kählériennes à courbure scalaire constante : unicité, stabilité

Olivier Biquard (2004/2005)

Séminaire Bourbaki

Un des problèmes les plus intéressants de la géométrie différentielle complexe consiste à comprendre les classes de Kähler de variétés complexes admettant des métriques à courbure scalaire constante. La question de l’unicité a été récemment résolue par Donaldson, Mabuchi, Chen–Tian. Des liens forts avec la stabilité algébrique des variétés ont été mis en évidence. L’exposé s’attachera à exposer les idées nouvelles qui ont mené à ces résultats.
