g -natural metrics of constant curvature on unit tangent sphere bundles

M. T. K. Abbassi, Giovanni Calvaruso (2012)

Archivum Mathematicum

We completely classify Riemannian g -natural metrics of constant sectional curvature on the unit tangent sphere bundle T 1 M of a Riemannian manifold ( M , g ) . Since the base manifold M turns out to be necessarily two-dimensional, weaker curvature conditions are also investigated for a Riemannian g -natural metric on the unit tangent sphere bundle of a Riemannian surface.

G1-structures of second order.

Demetra Demetropoulou Psomopoulou (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

We introduce a generalization to the second order of the notion of the G1-structure, the so called generalized almost tangent structure. For this purpose, the concepts of the second order frame bundle H2(Vm), its structural group Lm2 and its associated tangent bundle of second order T2(Vm) of a differentiable manifold Vm are described from the point of view that is used. Then, a G1-structure of second order -called G12-structure- is constructed on Vm by an endorphism J acting on T2(Vm), satisfying...

Gap properties of harmonic maps and submanifolds

Qun Chen, Zhen Rong Zhou (2005)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this article, we obtain a gap property of energy densities of harmonic maps from a closed Riemannian manifold to a Grassmannian and then, use it to Gaussian maps of some submanifolds to get a gap property of the second fundamental forms.

Gauge theoretical methods in the classification of non-Kählerian surfaces

Andrei Teleman (2009)

Banach Center Publications

The classification of class VII surfaces is a very difficult classical problem in complex geometry. It is considered by experts to be the most important gap in the Enriques-Kodaira classification table for complex surfaces. The standard conjecture concerning this problem states that any minimal class VII surface with b₂ > 0 has b₂ curves. By the results of [Ka1]-[Ka3], [Na1]-[Na3], [DOT], [OT] this conjecture (if true) would solve the classification problem completely. We explain a new approach...

Gaussian curvature based tangential redistribution of points on evolving surfaces

Medľa, Matej, Mikula, Karol (2017)

Proceedings of Equadiff 14

There exist two main methods for computing a surface evolution, level-set method and Lagrangian method. Redistribution of points is a crucial element in a Lagrangian approach. In this paper we present a point redistribution that compress quads in the areas with a high Gaussian curvature. Numerical method is presented for a mean curvature flow of a surface approximated by quads.

General construction of Banach-Grassmann algebras

Vladimir G. Pestov (1992)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We show that a free graded commutative Banach algebra over a (purely odd) Banach space E is a Banach-Grassmann algebra in the sense of Jadczyk and Pilch if and only if E is infinite-dimensional. Thus, a large amount of new examples of separable Banach-Grassmann algebras arise in addition to the only one example previously known due to A. Rogers.

General theory of Lie derivatives for Lorentz tensors

Lorenzo Fatibene, Mauro Francaviglia (2011)

Communications in Mathematics

We show how the ad hoc prescriptions appearing in 2001 for the Lie derivative of Lorentz tensors are a direct consequence of the Kosmann lift defined earlier, in a much more general setting encompassing older results of Y. Kosmann about Lie derivatives of spinors.
