Integrable Geodesic Flows

AbstractWe show that if M is a compact simply connected Riemannian manifold whose geodesic flow is completely integrable with periodic integrals, then M is rationally elliptic, i.e. the rational homotopy of M is finite dimensional. We also show that rational ellipticity is shared by simply connected compact manifolds whose cotangent bundle admits a multiplicity free compact action that leaves invariant the Hamiltonian associated with some Riemannian metric. In particular it follows that if M is a Riemannian manifold whose geodesic flow is completely integrable by the Thimm method, then M is rationally elliptic. Other questions concerning the global behaviour of geodesics on homogeneous spaces are discussed.

AbstractA method, due to Élie Cartan, is used to give an algebraic classification of the non-reductive homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of dimension four. Only one case with Lorentz signature can be Einstein without having constant curvature, and two cases with (2, 2) signature are Einstein of which one is Ricci-flat. If a four-dimensional non-reductive homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifold is simply connected, then it is shown to be diffeomorphic to ℝ4. All metrics for the simply connected non-reductive Einstein spaces are given explicitly. There are no non-reductive pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous spaces of dimension two and none of dimension three with connected isotropy subgroup.

Abstract Let X be a simply connected closed oriented manifold of rationally elliptic homotopy type. We prove that the string topology bracket on the $S^1$ -equivariant homology $ {\overline {\text {H}}}_\ast ^{S^1}({\mathcal {L}} X,{\mathbb {Q}}) $ of the free loop space of X preserves the Hodge decomposition of $ {\overline {\text {H}}}_\ast ^{S^1}({\mathcal {L}} X,{\mathbb {Q}}) $ , making it a bigraded Lie algebra. We deduce this result from a general theorem on derived Poisson structures on the universal enveloping algebras of homologically nilpotent finite-dimensional DG Lie algebras. Our theorem settles a conjecture of [7].

Let G be a connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie group, H and K be connected subgroups of G. We show in this paper that the action of K on X = G/H is proper if and only if the triple (G,H,K) has the compact intersection property in both cases where G is at most three-step and where G is special, extending then earlier cases. The result is also proved for exponential homogeneous space on which acts a maximal subgroup.

For each p ∈ [2, ∞)a p-harmonic map f:Mm→Nn is a critical point of the p-energy functionalwhere Mm is a compact and Nn a complete Riemannian manifold of dimensions m and n respectively. In a recent paper [3], Takeuchi has proved that for a certain class of simply-connected δ-pinched Nn and certain type of hypersurface Nn in ℝn+1, the only stable p-harmonic maps for any compact Mm are the constant maps. Our purpose in this note is to establish the following theorem which complements Takeuchi's results.

Solvable Lie Group

Given a Lie group $G$ and a lattice $\Gamma$ in $G$, a one-parameter subgroup $\phi$ of $G$ is said to be rigid if for any other one-parameter subgroup $\psi$, the flows induced by $\phi$ and $\psi$ on $\Gamma\backslash G$ (by right translations) are topologically orbit-equivalent only if they are affinely orbit-equivalent. It was previously known that if $G$ is a simply connected solvable Lie group such that all the eigenvalues of $\mathrm{Ad} (g) $, $g\in G$, are real, then all one-parameter subgroups of $G$ are rigid for any lattice in $G$. Here we consider a complementary case, in which the eigenvalues of $\mathrm{Ad} (g)$, $g\in G$, form the unit circle of complex numbers.Let $G$ be the semidirect product $N \rtimes M$, where $M$ and $N$ are finite-dimensional real vector spaces and where the action of $M$ on the normal subgroup $N$ is such that the center of $G$ is a lattice in $M$. We prove that there is a generic class of abelian lattices $\Gamma$ in $G$ such that any semisimple one-parameter subgroup $\phi$ (namely $\phi$ such that $\mathrm{Ad} (\phi_t)$ is diagonalizable over the complex numbers for all $t$) is rigid for $\Gamma$ (see Theorem 1.4). We also show that, on the other hand, there are fairly high-dimensional spaces of abelian lattices for which some semisimple $\phi$ are not rigid (see Corollary 4.3); further, there are non-rigid semisimple $\phi$ for which the induced flow is ergodic.

Let △p1p2p3 be a geodesic triangle on M, a complete 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold of curvature ≥ k, and let [Formula: see text] be its comparison triangle on [Formula: see text] (a complete and simply connected 2-dimensional manifold of constant curvature k). Our main result is that if △p1p2p3 is areable, then its area is not less than that of [Formula: see text].

In this article we establish the arithmetic purity of strong approximation for certain semisimple simply connected linear algebraic groups and their homogeneous spaces over a number field $k$. For instance, for any such group $G$ and for any open subset $U$ of $G$ with ${\mathrm {codim}}(G\setminus U, G)\geqslant 2$, we prove that (i) if $G$ is $k$-simple and $k$-isotropic, then $U$ satisfies strong approximation off any finite number of places; and (ii) if $G$ is the spin group of a non-degenerate quadratic form which is not compact over archimedean places, then $U$ satisfies strong approximation off all archimedean places. As a consequence, we prove that the same property holds for affine quadratic hypersurfaces. Our approach combines a fibration method with subgroup actions developed for induction on the codimension of $G\setminus U$, and an affine linear sieve which allows us to produce integral points with almost-prime polynomial values.

AbstractWe discuss the classifiation of simply connected, complete (κ, µ)-spaces from the point of view of homogeneous spaces. In particular, we exhibit new models of (κ, µ)-spaces having Boeckx invariant -1. Finally, we prove that the number ${{(n + 1)(n + 2)} \over 2}$ is the maximum dimension of the automorphism group of a contact metric manifold of dimension 2n +1, n ≥ 2, whose symmetric operator h has rank at least 3 at some point; if this dimension is attained, and the dimension of the manifold is not 7, it must be a (κ, µ)-space. The same conclusion holds also in dimension 7 provided the almost CR structure of the contact metric manifold under consideration is integrable.

In this paper, we prove that if a complete Riemannian manifold M has finitely many ends, each of which is a Harnack end, then the set of all energy finite bounded A-harmonic functions on M is one to one corresponding to Rl, where A is a nonlinear elliptic operator of type p on M and l is the number of p-nonparabolic ends of M. We also prove that if a complete Riemannian manifold M is roughly isometric to a complete Riemannian manifold with finitely many ends, each of which satisfies the volume doubling condition, the Poincaré inequality and the finite covering condition near infinity, then the set of all energy finite bounded A-harmonic functions on M is finite dimensional. This result generalizes those of Yau, of Donnelly, of Grigor’yan, of Li and Tam, of Holopainen, and of Kim and the present author, but with a barrier argument at infinity that the peculiarity of nonlinearity demands.
