Abstract We determine the index of symmetry of 3-dimensional unimodular Lie groups with a left-invariant metric. In particular, we prove that every 3-dimensional unimodular Lie group admits a left-invariant metric with positive index of symmetry. We also study the geometry of the quotients by the so-called foliation of symmetry, and we explain in what cases the group fibers over a 2-dimensional space of constant curvature.

Formulas for the Riemann and Ricci curvature tensors of an invariant metric on a Lie group are determined. The results are applied to a systematic study of the curvature properties of invariant metrics on three-dimensional Lie groups. In each case the metric is reduced by using the automorphism group of the associated Lie algebra. In particular, the maximum and minimum values of the sectional curvature function are determined.

AbstractIn this paper we deal with the class $$\mathcal {C}$$ C of decomposable solvable Lie groups having dimension six. We determine those Lie groups in $$\mathcal {C}$$ C and their subgroups which are the multiplication groups Mult(L) and the inner mapping groups Inn(L) for three-dimensional connected simply connected topological loops L. This result completes the classification of the at most 6-dimensional solvable multiplication Lie groups of the loops L. Moreover, we obtain that every at most 3-dimensional connected topological proper loop having a solvable Lie group of dimension at most six as its multiplication group is centrally nilpotent of class two.

AbstractWe study left-invariant almost paracontact metric structures on arbitrary three-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups. We obtain a complete classification and description under a natural assumption, which includes relevant classes as normal and almost para-cosymplectic structures, and we investigate geometric properties of these structures.

The biomechanics of vocal fold abduction and adduction during phonation, respiration, and airway protection are not completely understood. Specifically, the rotational and translational forces on the arytenoid cartilages that result from intrinsic laryngeal muscle contraction have not been fully described. Anatomic data on the lines of action and moment arms for the intrinsic laryngeal muscles are also lacking. This study was conducted to quantify the 3-dimensional orientations and the relative cross-sectional areas of the intrinsic abductor and adductor musculature of the canine larynx. Eight canine larynges were used to evaluate the 3 muscles primarily responsible for vocal fold abduction and adduction: the posterior cricoarytenoid, the lateral cricoarytenoid, and the interarytenoid muscles. Each muscle was exposed and divided into discrete fiber bundles whose coordinate positions were digitized in 3-dimensional space. The mass, length, relative cross-sectional area, and angle of orientation for each muscle bundle were obtained to allow for the calculations of average lines of action and moment arms for each muscle. This mapping of the canine laryngeal abductor and adductor musculature provides important anatomic data for use in laryngeal biomechanical modeling. These data may also be useful in surgical procedures such as arytenoid adduction.

3D laser scanning system is to use laser ranging principle to record intensively the 3D coordinates, reflectivity and texture information on the surface of the target object. It makes a real record of the three-dimensional space, which makes traditional measurement be released from the limit that couldn’t be exceeded in the past, and let the measurement precision up to a new level. At the same time, it has provided extensive researches with better help than ever. This paper mainly discusses the characteristics, working principle, application and future development of the ground 3 dimensional laser scanner.
