Paper derives local Plücker formulas for special orthogonal groups.

In [8], P. Lecomte conjectured the existence of a natural and projectively equivariant quantization. In [1], M. Bordemann proved this existence using the framework of Thomas-Whitehead connections. In [9], we gave a new proof of the same theorem thanks to the Cartan connections. After these works there was no explicit f…

The paper examines torsions in Minkowskian product of Finsler metrics.

In this short note, we present certain generalized versions of the commutator formulas of some natural operators on manifolds, and give some applications.

We prove a theorem that gives a sufficient condition for the full basic automorphism group of a complete Cartan foliation to admit a unique (finite-dimensional) Lie group structure in the category of Cartan foliations. Emphasize that the transverse Cartan geometry may not be effective. Some estimates of the dimension o…

We describe a method for solving the Maurer-Cartan structure equation associated with a Lie algebra that isolates the role of the Jacobi identity as an obstruction to integration. We show that the method naturally adapts to two other interesting situations: local symplectic realizations of Poisson structures, in which …

We describe invariant principal and Cartan connections on homogeneous principal bundles and show how to calculate the curvature and the holonomy; in the case of an invariant Cartan connection we give a formula for the infinitesimal automorphisms. The main result of this paper is that the above calculations are purely a…

The paper finds formulas for flat models of certain Lie algebras.

We give an explicit description, in terms of bracket, anchor, and pairing, of the standard cochain complex associated to a Courant algebroid. In this formulation, the differential satisfies a formula that is formally identical to the Cartan formula for the de Rham differential. This perspective allows us to develop the…

From the point of view of index theory, we give a simple proof of a Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula for all Finsler manifolds by the Cartan connection. Based on this, we establish a Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula for any metric-compatible connection and also derive the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula of Lackey.

Suppose G is a compact Lie group and N is a closed normal subgroup of G acting freely on a smooth manifold X. The Cartan theorem alluded to in the title postulates the existence of a natural isomorphism between the G-equivariant cohomology X and the G/N-equivariant cohomology of X/N. In this note we use J. Kalkman's ex…

In our previous paper (see this arxiv math.DG/0402171) for generic rank 2 vector distributions on n-dimensional manifold (n greater or equal to 5) we constructed a special differential invariant, the fundamental form. In the case n=5 this differential invariant has the same algebraic nature, as the covariant binary biq…

We show that the boundaries of thin strongly pseudoconvex Grauert tubes, with respect to the Guillemin-Stenzel Kähler metric canonically associated with the Poincaré metric on closed hyperbolic real-analytic surfaces, has nowhere vanishing Cartan CR-curvature. This result provides a wealth of examples of compact $3$-di…

A soap film is actually a thin solid fluid bounded by two surfaces of opposite orientation. It is natural to model the film using one polyhedron for each side. Two problems are to get the polyhedra for both sides to be in the same place without canceling each other out and to model triple junctions without introducing …

In this paper, we analyse the question of existence of a natural and projectively equivariant symbol calculus, using the theory of projective Cartan connections. We establish a close relationship between the existence of such a natural symbol calculus and the existence of an \sl(m+1,\R)-equivariant calculus over \R^{m}…

We discuss in this paper the conformal geometry of bi-invariant metrics on compact semisimple Lie groups. For this purpose we develop a conformal Cartan calculus adapted to this problem. In particular, we derive an explicit formula for the holonomy algebra of the normal conformal Cartan connection of a bi-invariant met…

The derived bracket of a Maurer-Cartan element in a differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) is well-known to define a differential graded Leibniz algebra. It is also well-known that a Lie infinity morphism between DGLAs maps a Maurer-Cartan element to a Maurer-Cartan element. Given a Lie-infinity morphism, a Maurer-elem…

Harmonic morphisms and p-harmonic functions constructed on symmetric spaces.

The paper establishes eigenvalue inequalities for a specific operator on curved spaces.

In this paper we relate the Fefferman-Graham ambient metric construction for conformal manifolds to the approach to conformal geometry via the canonical Cartan connection. We show that from any ambient metric that satisfies a weakening of the usual normalisation condition, one can construct the conformal standard tract…

We obtain an explicit formula for comparing total curvature of level sets of functions on Riemannian manifolds, and develop some applications of this result to the isoperimetric problem in spaces of nonpositive curvature.

In the first part of this series of papers we developed the invariant differentiation with respect to a Cartan connection, we described this procedure in the terms of the underlying principal connections, and we discussed applications of this theory to the construction of natural operators. In this part we will extend …

New metrics for information geometry and machine learning from Lie groups.

3-manifolds with convex boundary are rigid in certain curvature conditions.

The classical Cartan's structural equations show in a compact way the relation between a connection and its curvature, and reveals their geometric interpretation in terms of moving frames. In order to study the mathematical properties of singularities, we need to study the geometry of manifolds endowed on the tangent b…

In [5], P. Lecomte conjectured the existence of a natural and conformally invariant quantization. In [7], we gave a proof of this theorem thanks to the theory of Cartan connections. In this paper, we give an explicit formula for the natural and conformally invariant quantization of trace-free symbols thanks to the meth…

Global invariant for path structures and differential equations defined on torus.

The paper studies T-tensor of spherically symmetric Finsler metrics and characterizes metrics satisfying the T-condition.

The existence of a natural and projectively equivariant quantization in the sense of Lecomte [20] was proved recently by M. Bordemann [4], using the framework of Thomas-Whitehead connections. We give a new proof of existence using the notion of Cartan projective connections and we obtain an explicit formula in terms of…

Geometrodynamics derived from Riemannian manifolds using geospin matrix.

The paper derives inequalities for mean curvatures of hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds.

By combining the ideas of Cartan's equivalence method and the method of the equivariant moving frame for pseudo-groups, we develop an efficient method for solving equivalence problems arising from horizontal Lie pseudo-group actions. The key is a pseudo-group analog of the classic result that characterizes congruence o…

Classification of curves up to affine transformation in a finite dimensional space was studied by some different methods. In this paper, we achieve the exact formulas of affine invariants via the equivalence problem and in the view of Cartan's lemma and then, state a necessary and sufficient condition for classificatio…

The Cartan-Hartogs domains are defined as a class of Hartogs type domains over irreducible bounded symmetric domains. The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, for a Cartan-Hartogs domain $Ω^{B^{d_0}}(μ)$ endowed with the canonical metric $g(μ)$, we obtain an explicit formula for the Bergman kernel of the weighted…

In the present paper we construct differential invariants for generic rank 2 vector distributions on n-dimensional manifold. In the case n=5 (the first case containing functional parameters) E. Cartan found in 1910 the covariant fourth-order tensor invariant for such distributions, using his "reduction-prolongation" pr…

We show that a well-known result on solutions of the Maurer--Cartan equation extends to arbitrary (inhomogeneous) odd forms: any such form with values in a Lie superalgebra satisfying $dø+ø^2=0$ is gauge-equivalent to a constant, $ø=gCg^{-1}-dg\,g^{-1}\,.$ This follows from a non-Abelian version of a chain homotopy f…

In this paper, we study isoparametric hypersurfaces in Finsler space forms by investigating focal points, tubes and parallel hypersurfaces of submanifolds. We prove that the focal submanifolds of isoparametric hypersurfaces are anisotropic-minimal and obtain the Cartan-type formula in a Finsler space form with vanishin…

We answer to the question whether a system of the 3rd order ODEs describes geodesics of a conformal structure. We construct a functor from a category of conformal geometries to a category of Cartan geometries associated to the 3rd order ODEs systems. Explicit formulas which define the family of all equations on conform…

The reduction of biharmonic maps equation in terms of the Maurer-Cartan form for all smooth map of any compact Riemannian manifolds into a compact Lie group with bi-invariant Riemannian metric is obtained. By this formula, all the biharmonic curves into a compact Lie group and all biharmonic maps from a 2-dimensional o…

We give local descriptions of parabolic contact structures and show how their flat models yield explicit PDE having symmetry algebras isomorphic to all complex simple Lie algebras except $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. This yields a remarkably uniform generalization of the Cartan-Engel models from 1893 in the $G_2$ case. We give a …

Work consists of introduction, two chapters, conclusion and four applications. In this work is examined the condition, with which the wave space metrics of Riemann- Cartan is the solution of Einstein equation in the void. Geometric structures were for this purpose studied on the differentiated variety: connectedness, c…

In this paper, we consider Randers change of some special $(α, β)-$ metrics. First we find the fundamental metric tensor and Cartan tensor of these Randers changed $(α, β)-$metrics. Next, we establish a general formula for inverse of fundamental metric tensors of these metrics. Finally, we find the necessary and su…

We consider the problem $\mathbf{P_{curve}}$ of minimizing $\int \limits_0^L \sqrt{ξ^2 + κ^2(s)} \, {\rm d}s$ for a curve $\mathbf{x}$ on $\mathbb R$ with fixed boundary points and directions. Here the total length $L\geq 0$ is free, $s$ denotes the arclength parameter, $κ$ denotes the absolute curvature of $\mathbf{x}…

In this paper, we first provide an updated survey of the geometry of complex Cartan spaces. New characterizations for some particular classes of complex Cartan spaces are pointed out, e.g. Landsberg-Cartan, strongly Berwald-Cartan and others. We introduce the Cartan-Randers spaces which offer examples of Berwald-Cartan…

New classification of complex hypersurfaces in 3D.

The geometry of nonholonomic bundle gerbes, provided with nonlinear connection structure, and nonholonomic gerbe modules is elaborated as the theory of Clifford modules on nonholonomic manifolds which positively fail to be spin. We explore an approach to such nonholonomic Dirac operators and derive the related Atiyah-S…

In this paper, the description of biharmonic map equation in terms of the Maurer-Cartan form for all smooth map of a compact Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian symmetric space $(G/K,h)$ induced from the bi-invariant Riemannian metric $h$ on $G$ is obtained. By this formula, all biharmonic curves into symmetric space…
