Motions of Curves in 4-Dimensional Galilean Space G4

In this paper, we investigate the flow of curve and its equiform geometry in 4-dimensional Galilean space. We obtain that the Frenet equations and curvatures of inextensible flows of curves and its equiformly invariant vector fields and intrinsic quantities are independent of time. We find that the motions of curves and its equiform geometry can be defined by the inviscid and stochastic Burgers’ equations in 4-dimensional Galilean space.

ON $S$-CURVATURE OF A HOMOGENEOUS FINSLER SPACE WITH RANDERS CHANGED SQUARE METRIC

The study of curvature properties of homogeneous Finsler spaces with $(\alpha, \beta)$-metrics is one of the central problems in Riemann-Finsler geometry. In the present paper, the existence of invariant vector fields on a homogeneous Finsler space with Randers changed square metric has been proved. Further, an explicit formula for $S$-curvature of Randers changed square metric has been established. Finally, using the formula of $S$-curvature, the mean Berwald curvature of afore said $(\alpha, \beta)$-metric has been calculated.

The Maurer–Cartan Form

This chapter illustrates the Maurer-Cartan form. On every Lie group G with Lie algebra g, there is a unique canonically defined left-invariant g-valued 1-form called the Maurer-Cartan form. The chapter describes the Maurer-Cartan form and the equation it satisfies, the Maurer-Cartan equation. The Maurer-Cartan form allows one to define a connection on the product bundle M × G → M for any manifold M. The Lie algebra g of a Lie group G is defined to be the tangent space at the identity. One will often identify the two vector spaces and think of elements of g as left-invariant vector fields on G.

On S-curvature of a homogeneous Finsler space with square metric

The study of curvature properties of homogeneous Finsler spaces with [Formula: see text]-metrics is one of the central problems in Riemann–Finsler geometry. In this paper, the existence of invariant vector fields on a homogeneous Finsler space with square metric is proved. Further, an explicit formula for [Formula: see text]-curvature of a homogeneous Finsler space with square metric is established. Finally, using the formula of [Formula: see text]-curvature, the mean Berwald curvature of aforesaid [Formula: see text]-metric is calculated.

Harmonicity of vector fields on a class of Lorentzian solvable Lie groups

In this paper, we consider a special class of solvable Lie groups such that for any x, y in their Lie algebras, [x, y] is a linear combination of x and y. We investigate the harmonicity properties of invariant vector fields of this kind of Lorentzian Lie groups. It is shown that any invariant unit time-like vector field is spatially harmonic. Moreover, we determine all vector fields which are critical points of the energy functional restricted to the space of smooth vector fields.

On the flag curvature of invariant (α,β)-metrics

In this paper, we consider invariant [Formula: see text]-metrics which are induced by invariant Riemannian metrics [Formula: see text] and invariant vector fields [Formula: see text] on homogeneous spaces. We study the flag curvatures of invariant [Formula: see text]-metrics. We first give an explicit formula for the flag curvature of invariant [Formula: see text]-metrics arising from invariant Riemannian metrics on homogeneous spaces and Lie groups. We then give some explicit formula for the flag curvature of invariant Matsumoto metrics, invariant Kropina metrics and invariant Randers metrics.
