Study on Killing magnetic curves in Heisenberg group geometry.

Study finds formulas for special curves in complex spaces.

We explicitly determine all magnetic curves corresponding to the Killing magnetic fields on the 3-dimensional Euclidean space.

In this paper, we completely classify the magnetic curves (also N-magnetic curves with constant curvature) in a Galilean 3-space associated to a Killing vector field.

A magnetic field is defined by the property that its divergence is zero in a three dimensional oriented Riemannian manifold. Each magnetic field generates a magnetic flow whose trajectories are curves called as magnetic curves. In this paper, we give a new variational approach to studies the magnetic flow asociated wit…

New tensors help solve magnetic flow integrability.

Riemannian geometrical tools, such as Ricci collineations and Killing symmetries, so often used in Einstein general theory of gravitation are here applied to plasma physics to build magnetic surfaces from Einstein plasma metrics used in tokamak devices. It is shown that the Killing symmetries are constrains the Einstei…

It is well-known that the LIE(Locally Induction Equation) admit soliton-type solutions and same soliton solutions arise from different and apparently irrelevant physical models. By comparing the solitons of LIE and Killing magnetic geodesics, we observe that these solitons are essentially decided by two families of iso…

We investigate contact magnetic curves in the real special linear group of degree 2. They are geodesics of the Hopf tubes over the projection curve. We prove that periodic contact magnetic curves in SL(2,R) can be quantized in the set of rational numbers. Finally, we study contact homogeneous magnetic trajectories in S…

It is an interesting question whether a given equation of motion has a periodic solution or not, and in the positive case to describe them. We investigate periodic magnetic curves in elliptic Sasakian space forms and we obtain a quantization principle for periodic magnetic flowlines on Berger spheres. We give a criteri…

Study magnetic Steklov eigenvalues on manifolds with boundary.

Magnetic geodesics describe the trajectory of a particle in a Riemannian manifold under the influence of an external magnetic field. In this article, we use the heat flow method to derive existence results for such curves. We first establish subconvergence of this flow to a magnetic geodesic under certain boundedness a…

We prove the existence of Alexandrov embedded closed magnetic geodesics on closed hyperbolic surfaces. Closed magnetic geodesics correspond to closed curves with prescribed geodesic curvature.

Motivated by the study of Killing forms on compact Riemannian manifolds of negative sectional curvature, we introduce the notion of generalized vector cross products on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and give their classification. Using previous results about Killing tensors on negatively curved manifolds and a new characterization of…

We give existence results for simple closed curves with prescribed geodesic curvature on $S^{2}$, which correspond to periodic orbits of a charge in a magnetic field.

Study on triharmonic curves in Sol space with constant curvature and torsion.

We apply a local systolic-diastolic inequality for contact forms and odd-symplectic forms on three-manifolds to bound the magnetic length of closed curves with prescribed geodesic curvature (also known as magnetic geodesics) on an oriented closed surface. Our results hold when the prescribed curvature is either close t…

For strong exact magnetic fields the action functional (i.e., the length plus the linear magnetic term) is not bounded from below on the space of closed contractible curves and the lower estimates for critical levels are derived by using the principle of throwing out cycles. It is proved that for almost every energy le…

We consider billiard ball motion in a convex domain of the Euclidean plane bounded by a piece-wise smooth curve influenced by the constant magnetic field. We show that if there exists a polynomial in velocities integral of the magnetic billiard flow then every smooth piece $γ$ of the boundary must be algebraic and eith…

We consider billiard ball motion in a convex domain on a constant curvature surface influenced by the constant magnetic field. We examine the existence of integral of motion which is polynomial in velocities. We prove that if such an integral exists then the boundary curve of the domain determines an algebraic curve in…

Study of critical tori for mean curvature energies in Killing submersions.

A Jacobi field on a Riemannian manifold M is defined along a geodesic. We generalize this notion to an arbitrary smooth curve, and call it an infinitesimal isometry along the curve. We give two approaches to this: 1) compute the complete prolongation of the Killing equation and then restrict to the curve, and 2) comput…

Plasma toroidal metric singularities in helical devices and tokamaks, giving rise to magnetic surfaces inside the plasma devices are investigated in two cases. In the first we consider the case of a rotational plasma on an helical device with circular cross-section and dissipation. In this case singularities are shown …

A Killing submersion is a Riemannian submersion from an orientable 3-manifold to an orientable surface whose fibers are the integral curves of a unit Killing vector field in the 3-manifold. We classify all Killing submersions over simply-connected Riemannian surfaces and give explicit models for many Killing submersion…

An affine manifold is said to be geodesically complete if all affine geodesics extend for all time. It is said to be affine Killing complete if the integral curves for any affine Killing vector field extend for all time. We use the solution space of the quasi-Einstein equation to examine these concepts in the setting o…

In the present paper we classify curves and surfaces in Euclidean $3-$space which make constant angle with a certain Killing vector field. Moreover, we characterize the catenoid and Dini's surface in terms of constant angle surfaces.

We consider a Riemannian cylinder endowed with a closed potential 1-form A and study the magnetic Laplacian with magnetic Neumann boundary conditions associated with those data. We establish a sharp lower bound for the first eigenvalue and show that the equality characterizes the situation where the metric is a product…

In this paper we consider the lens rigidity problem with partial data for conformal metrics in the presence of a magnetic field on a compact manifold of dimension $\geq 3$ with boundary. We show that one can uniquely determine the conformal factor and the magnetic field near a strictly convex (with respect to the magne…

The Riemann-Christoffel connection and Riemann curvature tensor for the Arnold and its conformal counter…

The study finds lower bounds for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian in planar domains with magnetic fields.

We consider billiard ball motion in a convex domain of a constant curvature surface influenced by the constant magnetic field. We prove that if the billiard map is totally integrable then the boundary curve is necessarily a circle. This result is a manifestation of the so-called Hopf rigidity phenomenon which was recen…

The role of Killing and Killing-Yano tensors for studying the geodesic motion of the particle and the superparticle in a curved background is reviewed. Additionally the Papadopoulos list [74] for Killing-Yano tensors in G structures is reproduced by studying the torsion types these structures admit. The Papadopoulos li…

We propose a new definition for the abelian magnetic charge density of a non-abelian monopole, based on zero-modes of an associated Dirac operator. Unlike the standard definition of the charge density, this density is smooth in the core of the monopole. We show that this charge density induces a magnetic field whose ex…

Killing tensor fields have been thought of as describing hidden symmetry of space(-time) since they are in one-to-one correspondence with polynomial first integrals of geodesic equations. Many problems in classical mechanics can be formulated as geodesic problems in curved spaces and spacetimes, and thus solving the de…

A Killing submersion is a Riemannian submersion from a 3-manifold to a surface, both connected and orientable, whose fibres are the integral curves of a Killing vector field, not necessarily unitary. The first part of this paper deals with the classification of all Killing submersions in terms of two geometric function…

We give a new characterisation of the unparametrised geodesics, or distinguished curves, for affine, pseudo-Riemannian, conformal, and projective geometry. This is a type of moving incidence relation. The characterisation is used to provide a very general theory and construction of quantities that are necessarily conse…
