Yamabe Soliton

The evolution of some geometric quantities on a compact Riemannian manifold [Formula: see text] whose metric is Yamabe soliton is discussed. Using these quantities, lower bound on the soliton constant is obtained. We discuss about commutator of soliton vector fields. Also, the condition of soliton vector field to be a geodesic vector field is obtained.

A unit geodesic vector field on a Riemannian manifold is a vector field whose integral curves are geodesics, or in other worlds have zero acceleration. A geodesic vector field on a Riemannian manifold is a smooth vector field with acceleration of each of its integral curves is proportional to velocity. In this paper, we show that the presence of a geodesic vector field on a Riemannian manifold influences its geometry. We find characterizations of n-spheres as well as Euclidean spaces using geodesic vector fields.

This chapter introduces tensor fields, covariant derivatives and the geodesic equation on a (pseudo-) Riemannian manifold. It discusses how symmetries of a general space-time can be found from the Killing equation, and how the existence of Killing vector fields is connected to global conservation laws.

In the present paper, we introduce a new class of natural metrics on the tangent bundle $TM$ of the Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ denoted by $G^{f,h}$ which is named a twisted Sasakian metric. A necessary and sufficient conditions under which a vector field is harmonic with respect to the twisted Sasakian metric are established. Some examples of harmonic vector fields are presented as well.

The concircularity property of vector fields implies the geodesicity property, while the converse of this statement is not true. The main objective of this note is to find conditions under which the concircularity and geodesicity properties of vector fields are equivalent. Moreover, it is shown that the geodesicity property of vector fields is also useful in characterizing not only spheres, but also Euclidean spaces.

Let (M, g) be a C∞ Riemannian manifold and A be the field of symmetric endomorphisms corresponding to the Ricci tensor S; that is,We consider a condition weaker than the requirement that A be parallel (▽ A = 0), namely, that the “second exterior covariant derivative” vanish ( ▽x▽YA — ▽Y ▽XA — ▽[X,Y]A = 0), which by the classical interchange formula reduces to the propertywhere R(X, Y) is the curvature transformation determined by the vector fields X and Y.The property (P) is equivalent toTo see this we observe first that a skew symmetric and a symmetric endomorphism commute if and only if their product is skew symmetric.

Let 𝔛r(M), r ≥ 1, denote the space of all Cr vector fields over a compact, smooth and boundaryless Riemannian manifold M of finite dimension; let [Formula: see text], 1 ≤ ℓ ≤ dim M, be the bundle of orthonormal ℓ-frames of the tangent space TM of M. For any V ∈ 𝔛r(M), Liao defined functions [Formula: see text], k = 1, …, ℓ, on [Formula: see text], which are qualitatively equivalent to the Lyapunov exponents of the differential system V. In this paper, the author shows that every [Formula: see text] depends Cr-1-continuously upon [Formula: see text] and Cr-continuously on [Formula: see text] for any given V. In addition, applying the qualitative functions, the author generalizes Liao's global linearization along a given orbit of V and considers the stochastic stability of Lyapunov spectra of linear skew-product flows based on a given ergodic system.

A Ricci soliton (M, g, v, λ) on a Riemannian manifold (M, g) is said to have concurrent potential field if its potential field v is a concurrent vector field. Ricci solitons arisen from concurrent vector fields on Riemannian manifolds were studied recently in [Ricci solitons and concurrent vector fields, preprint (2014), arXiv:1407.2790]. The most important concurrent vector field is the position vector field on Euclidean submanifolds. In this paper we completely classify Ricci solitons on Euclidean hypersurfaces arisen from the position vector field of the hypersurfaces.
