Projective Connection

The authors define a semi-symmetric non-holonomic (SSNH)-projective connection on sub-Riemannian manifolds and find an invariant of the SSNH-projective transformation. The authors further derive that a sub-Riemannian manifold is of projective flat if and only if the Schouten curvature tensor of a special SSNH-connection is zero.

The study of finiteness for Riemannian manifolds, which has been done originally by J. Cheeger [5] and A. Weinstein [13], is to investigate what bounds on the sizes of geometrical quantities imply finiteness of topological types, —e.g. homotopy types, homeomorphism or diffeomorphism classes-— of manifolds admitting metrics which satisfy the bounds. For a Riemannian manifold M we denote by RM and KM respectively the curvature tensor and the sectional curvature, by Vol (M) the volume, and by diam(M) the diameter.

Class C

Let M denote a connected Riemannian manifold of class C3, with positive definite C2 metric. The curvature tensor then exists, and is continuous.By a classical theorem of J. H. C. Whitehead (1), every point x of M has the property that all sufficiently small spherical neighbourhoods V of x are convex; that is, (i) to every y,z ∈ V there is one and only one geodesic segment yz in M which is the shortest path joining them:f:([0, 1]) → M,f(0) = y, f(1) = z; and (ii) this segment yz lies entirely in V:f([0, 1]) V; (iii) if f is parametrized proportional to arc length, then f(t) is a C2 function of y, t, and z.Let V be a convex set in M; and let y1 y2, Z1, z2 ∈ V.

AbstractWe study some properties of curvature tensors of Norden and, more generally, metallic pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. We introduce the notion of J-sectional and J-bisectional curvature of a metallic pseudo-Riemannian manifold (M, J, g) and study their properties.We prove that under certain assumptions, if the manifold is locally metallic, then the Riemann curvature tensor vanishes. Using a Norden structure (J, g) on M, we consider a family of metallic pseudo-Riemannian structures {Ja,b}a,b∈ℝ and show that for a ≠ 0, the J-sectional and J-bisectional curvatures of M coincide with the Ja,b-sectional and Ja,b-bisectional curvatures, respectively. We also give examples of Norden and metallic structures on ℝ2n.

AbstractIn this paper, we establish a finiteness theorem for $L^{p}$ L p harmonic 1-forms on a locally conformally flat Riemannian manifold under the assumptions on the Schrödinger operators involving the squared norm of the traceless Ricci form. This result can be regarded as a generalization of Han’s result on $L^{2}$ L 2 harmonic 1-forms.

Abstract In this article we generalize the concept of Bézier curves to curved spaces, and illustrate this generalization with an application in kinematics. We show how De Casteljau’s algorithm for constructing Bézier curves can be extended in a natural way to Riemannian manifolds. We then consider a special class of Riemannian manifold, the Lie groups. Because of their algebraic group structure Lie groups admit an elegant, efficient recursive algorithm for constructing Bézier curves. Spatial displacements of a rigid body also form a Lie group, and can therefore be interpolated (in the Bezier sense) using this recursive algorithm. We apply this algorithm to the kinematic problem of trajectory generation or motion interpolation for a moving rigid body.

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.
