Torse-forming vector fields introduced by Yano [On torse forming direction in a Riemannian space, Proc. Imp. Acad. Tokyo 20 (1944) 340–346] are natural extension of concurrent and concircular vector fields. Such vector fields have many nice applications to geometry and mathematical physics. In this paper, we establish a link between rotational hypersurfaces and torse-forming vector fields. More precisely, our main result states that, for a hypersurface [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], the tangential component [Formula: see text] of the position vector field of [Formula: see text] is a proper torse-forming vector field on [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text] is contained in a rotational hypersurface whose axis of rotation contains the origin.

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.

In this note, we establish the estimate on the Lorentz space $L(3/2,1)$ for vector fields in bounded domains under the assumption that the normal or the tangential component of the vector fields on the boundary vanishes. We prove that the $L(3/2,1)$ norm of the vector field can be controlled by the norms of its divergence and curl in the atomic Hardy spaces and the $L^1$ norm of the vector field itself.

Let $M$ be a Riemannian submanifold of a Riemannian manifold $\tilde M$ equipped with a concurrent vector field $\tilde Z$. Let $Z$ denote the restriction of $\tilde Z$ along $M$ and let $Z^T$ be the tangential component of $Z$ on $M$, called the canonical vector field of $M$. The 2-distance function $\delta^2_Z$ of $M$ (associated with $Z$) is defined by $\delta^2_Z=\$. In this article, we initiate the study of submanifolds $M$ of $\tilde M$ with incompressible canonical vector field $Z^T$ arisen from a concurrent vector field $\tilde Z$ on the ambient space $\tilde M$. First, we derive some necessary and sufficient conditions for such canonical vector fields to be incompressible. In particular, we prove that the 2-distance function $\delta^2_Z$ is harmonic if and only if the canonical vector field $Z^T$ on $M$ is an incompressible vector field. Then we provide some applications of our main results.

AbstractWe introduce a family of pairings between a bounded divergence-measure vector field and a function u of bounded variation, depending on the choice of the pointwise representative of u. We prove that these pairings inherit from the standard one, introduced in [G. Anzellotti, Pairings between measures and bounded functions and compensated compactness, Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. (4) 135 1983, 293–318], [G.-Q. Chen and H. Frid, Divergence-measure fields and hyperbolic conservation laws, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 147 1999, 2, 89–118], all the main properties and features (e.g. coarea, Leibniz, and Gauss–Green formulas). We also characterize the pairings making the corresponding functionals semicontinuous with respect to the strict convergence in \mathrm{BV}. We remark that the standard pairing in general does not share this property.

Geometric Objects

Motivated by the hindrance of defining metric tensors compatible with the underlying spinor structure, other than the ones obtained via a conformal transformation, we study how some geometric objects are affected by the action of a disformal transformation in the closest scenario possible: the disformal transformation in the direction of a null-like vector field. Subsequently, we analyze symmetry properties such as mutual geodesics and mutual Killing vectors, generalized Weyl transformations that leave the disformal relation invariant, and introduce the concept of disformal Killing vector fields. In most cases, we use the Schwarzschild metric, in the Kerr–Schild formulation, to verify our calculations and results. We also revisit the disformal operator using a Newman–Penrose basis to show that, in the null-like case, this operator is not diagonalizable.

Hyperbolic Equilibrium

Let M be a 3-manifold with boundary ∂M. Let X be a C∞, vector field on M, tangent to ∂M, exhibiting a singular cycle associated to a hyperbolic equilibrium σ∈∂M with real eigenvalues λss < λs < 0 < λu satisfying λs - λss - 2λu > 0. We prove under generic conditions and k large enough the existence of a Ck robust transitive set of X, that is, any Ck vector field Ck close to X exhibits a transitive set containing the cycle. In particular, C∞ vector fields exhibiting Ck robust transitive sets, for k large enough, which are not singular-hyperbolic do exist on any compact 3-manifold with boundary.

Scalar Nonlinearity

Chua’s oscillator is topologically conjugate to a large class of vector fields with a scalar non-linearity. In this letter, we give an algorithm which, given a vector field in this class, finds the parameters for Chua’s oscillator for which Chua’s oscillator is topologically conjugate to it. We illustrate this by transforming Sparrow’s system and the chaotic Colpitts oscillator into equivalent Chua’s oscillators.

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.

Fix ξ a unitary vector field on a Riemannian manifold M and γ a non-geodesic Frenet curve on M satisfying the Rytov law of polarization optics. We prove in these conditions that γ is a Legendre curve for ξ if and only if the γ-Fermi–Walker covariant derivative of ξ vanishes. The cases when γ is circle or helix as well as ξ is (conformal) Killing vector filed or potential vector field of a Ricci soliton are analyzed and an example involving a three-dimensional warped metric is provided. We discuss also K-(para)contact, particularly (para)Sasakian, manifolds and hypersurfaces in complex space forms.
