Ricci almost solitons with associated projective vector field

A Ricci almost soliton whose associated vector field is projective is shown to have vanishing Cotton tensor, divergence-free Bach tensor and Ricci tensor as conformal Killing. For the compact case, a sharp inequality is obtained in terms of scalar curvature.We show that every complete gradient Ricci soliton is isometric to the Riemannian product of a Euclidean space and an Einstein space. A complete K-contact Ricci almost soliton whose associated vector field is projective is compact Einstein and Sasakian.

SOME VECTORS FIELDS ON THE TANGENT BUNDLE WITH A SEMI-SYMMETRIC METRIC CONNECTION

Let $M$ is a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold and $TM$ be its tangent bundlewith the semi-symmetric metric connection $\overline{\nabla }$. In thispaper, we examine some special vector fields, such as incompressible vectorfields, harmonic vector fields, concurrent vector fields, conformal vectorfields and projective vector fields on $TM$ with respect to thesemi-symmetric metric connection $\overline{\nabla }$ and obtain someproperties related to them.

TWO NOTABLE CLASSES OF PROJECTIVE VECTOR FIELDS

Here, we find some necessary conditions for a projective vector field on a Randers metric to preserve the non-Riemannian quantities $\Xi$ and $H$.They are known in the contexts as the $C$-projective and $H$-projective vector fields. We find all projective vector fields of the Funk type metrics on the Euclidean unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n(1)$.

The Convex Polytopes and Homogeneous Coordinate Rings of Bivariate Polynomials

Concepts from algebraic geometry such as cones and fans are related to toric varieties and can be applied to determine the convex polytopes and homogeneous coordinate rings of multivariate polynomial systems. The homogeneous coordinates of a system in its projective vector space can be associated with the entries of the resultant matrix of the system under consideration. This paper presents some conditions for the homogeneous coordinates of certain system of bivariate polynomials through the construction and implementation of the Sylvester-Bèzout hybrid resultant matrix formulation. This basis of the implementation of the Bèzout block applies a combinatorial approach on a set of linear inequalities, named 5-rule. The inequalities involved the set of exponent vectors of the monomials of the system and the entries of the matrix are determined from the coefficients of facets variable known as brackets. The approach can determine the homogeneous coordinates of the given system and the entries of the Bèzout block. Conditions for determining the homogeneous coordinates are also given and proven.

Stable rationality of higher dimensional conic bundles

We prove that a very general nonsingular conic bundle $X\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ embedded in a projective vector bundle of rank $3$ over $\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ is not stably rational if the anti-canonical divisor of $X$ is not ample and $n\geq 3$.
