Two correlated Schouten–van Kampen affine connections on an almost paracontact almost paracomplex Riemannian manifold are introduced and investigated. The considered manifolds are characterized by virtue of the presented non-symmetric connections. Curvature properties of the studied connections are obtained. A family of examples on a Lie group are given in confirmation of the obtained results.

We formulate path integrals on any Riemannian manifold which admits the action of a compact Lie group by isometric transformations. We consider a path integral on a Riemannian manifold M on which a Lie group G acts isometrically. Then we show that the path integral on M is reduced to a family of path integrals on a quotient space Q=M/G and that the reduced path integrals are completely classified by irreducible unitary representations of G. It is not necessary to assume that the action of G on M is either free or transitive. Hence our formulation is applicable to a wide class of manifolds, which includes inhomogeneous spaces, and it covers all the inequivalent quantizations. To describe the path integral on inhomogeneous space, stratification geometry, which is a generalization of the concept of principal fiber bundle, is necessarily introduced. Using it we show that the path integral is expressed as a product of three factors; the rotational energy amplitude, the vibrational energy amplitude, and the holonomy factor. When a singular point arises in Q, we determine the boundary condition of the path integral kernel for a path which runs through the singularity.

One of the important problems of Riemannian geometry is the problem of establishing connections between curvature and the topology of a Riemannian manifold, and, in particular, the influence of the sign of sectional curvature on the topological structure of a Riemannian manifold. Of particular importance in these studies is the question of the influence of d-pinching of Riemannian metrics of positive sectional curvature on the geometric and topological structure of the Riemannian manifold. This question is most studied for the homogeneous Riemannian case. In this direction, the classification of homogeneous Riemannian manifolds of positive sectional curvature, obtained by M. Berger, N. Wallach, L. Bergeri, as well as a number of results on d- pinching of homogeneous Riemannian metrics of positive sectional curvature, is well known. In this paper, we investigate Riemannian manifolds with metric connection being a connection with vectorial torsion. The Levi-Civita connection falls into this class of connections. Although the curvature tensor of these connections does not possess the symmetries of the Levi-Civita connection curvature tensor, it seems possible to determine sectional curvature. This paper studies the d-pinch function of the sectional curvature of a compact connected Lie group G with a biinvariant Riemannian metric and a connection with vectorial torsion. It is proved that it takes the values d(||V ||)∈(0,1].

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.

Let Mn be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold minimally immersed in the unit sphere Sn+p (1) of dimension n + p. When Mn is compact, Chern, do Carmo and Kobayashi [1] proved that if the square ‖h‖2 of length of the second fundamental form h in Mn is not more than , then either Mn is totallygeodesic, or Mn is the Veronese surface in S4 (1) or Mn is the Clifford torus .In this paper, we generalize the results due to Chern, do Carmo and Kobayashi [1] to complete Riemannian manifolds.

Naturally Reductive

The simple algebraic and geometric properties of naturally reductive metrics make them useful as examples in the study of homogeneous Riemannian manifolds. (See for example [2], [3], [15]). The existence and abundance of naturally reductive left-invariant metrics on a Lie group G or homogeneous space G/L reflect the structure of G itself. Such metrics abound on compact groups, exist but are more restricted on noncompact semisimple groups, and are relatively rare on solvable groups. The goals of this paper are(i) to study all naturally reductive homogeneous spaces of G when G is either semisimple of noncompact type or nilpotent and(ii) to give necessary conditions on a Riemannian homogeneous space of an arbitrary Lie group G in order that the metric be naturally reductive with respect to some transitive subgroup of G.
