SynopsisThis is a contribution to the general problem of determining the extent to which the geometry of a riemannian manifold is determined by properties of its geodesic spheres. In particular we show that total umbilicity of geodesic spheres determines riemannian manifolds of constant sectional curvature; quasi-umbilicity of geodesic spheres determines Kähler and nearly-Kähler manifolds of constant holomorphic sectional curvature; and the condition that geodesic spheres have only two different principal curvatures, one having multiplicity 3, determines manifolds locally isometric to the quaternionic projective spaces. The use of Jacobi vector fields leads to a unified treatment of these different cases.

The aim of this article is to study two efficient parallel algorithms for obtaining a solution to a system of monotone variational inequalities (SVI) on Hadamard manifolds. The parallel algorithms are inspired by Tseng’s extragradient techniques with new step sizes, which are established without the knowledge of the Lipschitz constants of the operators and line-search. Under the monotonicity assumptions regarding the underlying vector fields, one proves that the sequences generated by the methods converge to a solution of the monotone SVI whenever it exists.

SynopsisUsing explicit equations for Jacobi vector fields on a Sasakian space form, we characterise such spaces by means of the shape operator of small geodesic spheres.

We study the geometric nature of the Jacobi equation. In particular we prove that Jacobi vector fields (JVFs) along a solution of the Euler–Lagrange (EL) equations are themselves solutions of the EL equations but considered on a non-standard algebroid (different from the tangent bundle Lie algebroid). As a consequence we obtain a simple non-computational proof of the relation between the null subspace of the second variation of the action and the presence of JVFs (and conjugate points) along an extremal. We work in the framework of skew-symmetric algebroids.
