Clairaut Riemannian maps whose total manifolds admit a Ricci soliton

In this paper, we study Clairaut Riemannian maps whose total manifolds admit a Ricci soliton and give a nontrivial example of such Clairaut Riemannian maps. First, we calculate Ricci tensors and scalar curvature of total manifolds of Clairaut Riemannian maps. Then we obtain necessary conditions for the fibers of such Clairaut Riemannian maps to be Einstein and almost Ricci solitons. We also obtain a necessary condition for vector field [Formula: see text] to be conformal, where [Formula: see text] is a geodesic curve on total manifold of Clairaut Riemannian map. Further, we show that if total manifolds of Clairaut Riemannian maps admit a Ricci soliton with the potential mean curvature vector field of [Formula: see text] then the total manifolds of Clairaut Riemannian maps also admit a gradient Ricci soliton and obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for such maps to be harmonic by solving Poisson equation.

Motion of Charged Spinning Particles in a Unified Field

Using a geometry wider than Riemannian one, the parameterized absolute parallelism (PAP) geometry, we derived a new curve containing two parameters. In the context of the geometrization philosophy, this new curve can be used as a trajectory of charged spinning test particle in any unified field theory constructed in the PAP space. We show that imposing certain conditions on the two parameters, the new curve can be reduced to a geodesic curve giving the motion of a scalar test particle or/and a modified geodesic giving the motion of neutral spinning test particle in a gravitational field. The new method used for derivation, the Bazanski method, shows a new feature in the new curve equation. This feature is that the equation contains the electromagnetic potential term together with the Lorentz term. We show the importance of this feature in physical applications.

Some Special Ruled Surfaces Generated by a Direction Curve according to the Darboux Frame and their Characterizations

In this work, we consider the Darboux frame T , V , U of a curve lying on an arbitrary regular surface and we construct ruled surfaces having a base curve which is a V -direction curve. Subsequently, a detailed study of these surfaces is made in the case where the directing vector of their generatrices is a vector of the Darboux frame, a Darboux vector field. Finally, we give some examples for special curves such as the asymptotic line, geodesic curve, and principal line, with illustrations of the different cases studied.

Algorithm for filling curves on surfaces

Let $$\varSigma $$ Σ be a compact, orientable surface of negative Euler characteristic, and let h be a complete hyperbolic metric on $$\varSigma $$ Σ . A geodesic curve $$\gamma $$ γ in $$\varSigma $$ Σ is filling if it cuts the surface into topological disks and annuli. We propose an efficient algorithm for deciding whether a geodesic curve, represented as a word in some generators of $$\pi _1(\varSigma )$$ π 1 ( Σ ) , is filling. In the process, we find an explicit bound for the combinatorial length of a curve given by its Dehn–Thurston coordinate, in terms of the hyperbolic length. This gives us an efficient method for producing a collection which is guaranteed to contain all words corresponding to simple geodesics of bounded hyperbolic length.

Metric Spaces and Geodesic Motion

The metric tensor uniquely defines the geometric properties of a metric space, while differential geometry is concerned with the derivatives of vectors and tensors within the metric space. Derivatives of vector quantities include the derivatives of basis vectors, which lead to Christoffel symbols that are directly connected to the metric tensor. This connection between tensor derivatives and the metric tensor provides the tools necessary to define geodesic curves. The geodesic equation is derived from variational calculus and from parallel transport. Geodesic motion is the trajectory of a particle through a metric space defined by an action metric that includes a potential function. In this way, dynamics converts to geometry as a trajectory in a potential converts to a geodesic curve through an appropriately defined metric space.
