In this paper we study lifted left invariant $(α,β)$-metrics of Douglas type on tangent Lie groups. Let $G$ be a Lie group equipped with a left invariant $(α,β)$-metric of Douglas type $F$, induced by a left invariant Riemannian metric $g$. Using vertical and complete lifts, we construct the vertical and complete lifte…

In this paper, we study generalized Douglas-Weyl $(α, β)$-metrics. Suppose that an regular $(α, β)$-metric $F$ is not of Randers type. We prove that $F$ is a generalized Douglas-Weyl metric with vanishing S-curvature if and only if it is a Berwald metric. Moreover by ignoring the regularity, if $F$ is not a Berwald met…

Defines a new Randers metric based on an existing one.

In this paper, the Douglas curvature of (α,β)-metrics, a special class of Finsler metrics defined by a Riemannian metric αand a 1-form β, is studied. These metrics with vanishing Douglas curvature in dimension n\geq3 are classified by using a new class of metrical deformations called β-deformations. The result shows th…

We give the explicit formulas of the flag curvatures of left invariant Matsumoto and Kropina metrics of Berwald type. We can see these formulas are different from previous results given recently. Using these formulas, we prove that at any point of an arbitrary connected non-commutative nilpotent Lie group, the flag cur…

In this paper we classify all non-Berwaldian Randers metrics of Douglas type arising from invariant hyper-Hermitian metrics on simply connected four-dimensional real Lie groups. Also, the formulas of the flag curvature are given and it is shown that, in some directions, the flag curvature of the Randers metrics and the…

Paper bounds surface diameter and solves Plateau-Douglas problem.

In this paper we classify all simply connected five dimensional nilpotent Lie groups which admit $(α,β)$-metrics of Berwald and Douglas type defined by a left invariant Riemannian metric and a left invariant vector field. During this classification we give the geodesic vectors, Levi-Civita connection, curvature tensor,…

In this paper the projective curvature invariants of a complex Finsler space are obtained. By means of these invariants the notion of complex Douglas space is then defined. A special approach is devoted to obtain the equivalence conditions that a complex Finsler space should be Douglas. It is shown that any weakly Kähl…

New metrics defined in Finsler geometry with specific properties.

Douglas metrics are metrics with vanishing Douglas curvature which is an important projective invariant in Finsler geometry. To find more Douglas metrics, in this paper we consider a class of Finsler metrics called general $(α,β)$-metrics, which are defined by a Riemannian metric $α=\sqrt{a_{ij}(x)y^iy^j}$ and a $1$-fo…

Study Cowen-Douglas operators from analytic function spaces.

The notion of a Douglas space of second kind of a Finsler space with $(α, β)$-metric was introduced by I. Y. Lee [9]. Since then, so many geometers have studied this topic e. g., [14]. In this paper, we prove that a Douglas space of second kind with special $$-metric $α+εβ+ k \frac{β^2}{α}$ is conformally trans…

New Finsler metrics constructed from $GDW$-metrics.

In this paper, we consider the similarity and quasi-affinity problems for Hilbert modules in the Cowen-Douglas class associated with the complex geometric objects, the hermitian anti-holomorphic vector bundles and curvatures. Given a "simple" rank one Cowen-Douglas Hilbert module $\mathcal{M}$, we find necessary and su…

We show that two-dimensional conformally related Douglas metrics are Randers

Recently, it is shown that each regular homogeneous Finsler space $M$ admits at least one homogeneous geodesic through any point $o\in M$. The purpose of this article is to study the existence of homogeneous geodesics on singular homogeneous $(α,β)$-spaces, specially, homogeneous Kropina spaces. We show that any homoge…

In this lecture I review how a matrix/Azumaya-type noncommutative geometry arises for D-branes in string theory and how such a geometry serves as an origin of the master nature of D-branes; and then highlight an abundance conjecture on D0-brane resolutions of singularities that is extracted and purified from a work of …

Develops noncommutative Cowen-Douglas theory for noncommuting operators.

Paper introduces new Finsler metrics preserved under projective transformations.

In this paper, we investigate the spherically symmetric Finsler metrics with isotropic S-curvature and obtain a characterized equation. As an application, we prove that these metrics with Douglas type must be Randers metrics or Berwald metrics. This result leads to two classification theorems.

In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics called general $(α,β)$-metrics, which are defined by a Riemannian metric $α$ and a $1$-form $β$. We find an equation which is necessary and sufficient condition for such Finsler metric to be a Douglas metric. By solving this equation, we obtain all of general $(α,β)$-m…

This paper describes the work of Jesse Douglas on the Plateau problem, work for which he was awarded a Fields Medal in 1936, and considers the contributions Tibor Rado made in the 1930s.

We proof that in dimension two, a Finsler metric is Douglas and generalized Berwald, if and only if it is Berwald or a Randers metric $α+ β$, where $β$ is closed and is of constant length with respect to $α$.

Square metrics $F=\frac{(α+β)^2}α$ are a special class of Finsler metrics. It is the rate kind of metric category to be of excellent geometrical properties. In this paper, we discuss the so-called singular square metrics $F=\frac{(bα+β)^2}α$. A characterization for such metrics to be of vanishing Douglas curvature is p…

Constructs positive energy representations from Toda equations Stokes data.

In this paper, we proved the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem on moduli space of polarized Kahler manifolds. Using our results, we proved the rationality of the Chern-Weil forms (with respect to the Weil-Petersson metric) on CY moduli. As an application in physics, by the Ashok-Douglas theory, counting the number of flux com…

New algorithms solve nonconvex federated learning problems efficiently.

The Douglas Rachford algorithm is an algorithm that converges to a minimizer of a sum of two convex functions. The algorithm consists in fixed point iterations involving computations of the proximity operators of the two functions separately. The paper investigates a stochastic version of the algorithm where both funct…

We consider a heterogeneous agent-based economic model where economic agents have strictly bounded rationality and where income allocation strategies evolve through selective imitation. Income is calculated by a Cobb-Douglas type production function, and selection of strategies for imitation depends on the income growt…

The existence of Dirichlet minimizing multiple-valued functions for given boundary data has been known since pioneering work of F. Almgren. Here we prove a multiple-valued analogue of the classical Plateau problem of the existence of area-minimizing mappings of the disk. Specifically, we find, for $K \in \mathbb N,$ $k…

Optimal credit and consumption strategies in a switching market with default contagion.

We solve the classical problem of Plateau in the setting of proper metric spaces. Precisely, we prove that among all disc-type surfaces with prescribed Jordan boundary in a proper metric space there exists an area minimizing disc which moreover has a quasi-conformal parametrization. If the space supports a local quadra…

We define a geometric flow that is designed to change surfaces of cylindrical type spanning two disjoint boundary curves into solutions of the Douglas-Plateau problem of finding minimal surfaces with given boundary curves. We prove that also in this new setting and for arbitrary initial data, solutions of the Teichmüll…

New algorithms solve monotone inclusions and convex-concave minimax problems.

We analyse the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of the Teichmüller harmonic map flow from cylinders, and more generally of `almost minimal cylinders', in situations where the maps satisfy a Plateau-boundary condition for which the three-point condition degenerates. We prove that such a degenerating boundary condition …

We study warped compactifications of string/M theory with the help of effective potentials, continuing previous work of the last two authors and Michael R. Douglas presented in arXiv:1206.1885. The dynamics of the conformal factor of the internal metric, which is responsible for instabilities in these constructions, is…

More than thirty years ago, Charnes, Cooper and Schinnar (1976) established an enlightening contact between economic production functions (EPFs) -- a cornerstone of neoclassical economics -- and information theory, showing how a generalization of the Cobb-Douglas production function encodes homogeneous functions. As ex…
