A complete classification of four-dimensional paraKähler Lie algebras

Giovanni Calvaruso (2015)

Complex Manifolds

We consider paraKähler Lie algebras, that is, even-dimensional Lie algebras g equipped with a pair (J, g), where J is a paracomplex structure and g a pseudo-Riemannian metric, such that the fundamental 2-form Ω(X, Y) = g(X, JY) is symplectic. A complete classification is obtained in dimension four.

A contact metric manifold satisfying a certain curvature condition

Jong Taek Cho (1995)

Archivum Mathematicum

In the present paper we investigate a contact metric manifold satisfying (C) ( ¯ γ ˙ R ) ( · , γ ˙ ) γ ˙ = 0 for any ¯ -geodesic γ , where ¯ is the Tanaka connection. We classify the 3-dimensional contact metric manifolds satisfying (C) for any ¯ -geodesic γ . Also, we prove a structure theorem for a contact metric manifold with ξ belonging to the k -nullity distribution and satisfying (C) for any ¯ -geodesic γ .

A continuation method for motion-planning problems

Yacine Chitour (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We apply the well-known homotopy continuation method to address the motion planning problem (MPP) for smooth driftless control-affine systems. The homotopy continuation method is a Newton-type procedure to effectively determine functions only defined implicitly. That approach requires first to characterize the singularities of a surjective map and next to prove global existence for the solution of an ordinary differential equation, the Wazewski equation. In the context of the MPP, the aforementioned...
