Classifies R-spaces with a specific symmetric structure.

In this paper, by constructing area-nonincreasing retractions, we prove area-minimizing properties of some cones over minimal embeddings of R-spaces.

We extend the classical theory of isothermic surfaces in conformal 3-space, due to Bour, Christoffel, Darboux, Bianchi and others, to the more general context of submanifolds of symmetric $R$-spaces with essentially no loss of integrable structure.

Self dual symmetric R-spaces have special curves, called circles, introduced by Burstall, Donaldson, Pedit and Pinkall in 2011, whose definition does not involve the choice of any Riemannian metric. We characterize the elements of the big transformation group G of a self dual symmetric R-space M as those diffeomorphism…

New proof for symmetric spaces with rectangular lattices.

In the present paper we study $S^2 \times R$ and $H^2 \times R$ geometries, which are homogeneous Thurston 3-geometries. We analyse the interior angle sums of geodesic triangles in both geometries and prove, that in $S^2 \times R$ space it can be larger or equal than $π$ and in $H^2 \times R$ space the angle sums can b…

We present a uniform framework generalising and extending the classical theories of projective differential geometry, c-projective geometry, and almost quaternionic geometry. Such geometries, which we call \emph{projective parabolic geometries}, are abelian parabolic geometries whose flat model is an R-space $G\cdot\ma…

Let M be an irreducible Riemannian symmetric space. The index i(M) of M is the minimal codimension of a totally geodesic submanifold of M. In previous work the authors proved that i(M) is bounded from below by the rank rk(M) of M. In this paper we classify all irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces M for which the equ…

The aim of this paper is to offer an overview of the most important applications of Jordan structures inside mathematics and also to physics, up-dated references being included. For a more detailed treatment of this topic see - especially - the recent book Iordanescu [364w], where sugestions for further developments ar…

A generalized additive model (GAM, Hastie and Tibshirani (1987)) is a nonparametric model by the sum of univariate functions with respect to each explanatory variable, i.e., $f({\mathbf x}) = \sum f_j(x_j)$, where $x_j\in\mathbb{R}$ is $j$-th component of a sample ${\mathbf x}\in \mathbb{R}^p$. In this paper, we introd…

The main objective of the present paper is to investigate the curvature properties of generalized pp-wave metric. It is shown that generalized pp-wave spacetime is Ricci generalized pseudosymmetric, 2-quasi-Einstein and generalized quasi-Einstein in the sense of Chaki. As a special case it is shown that pp-wave spaceti…

A spacetime denotes a pure radiation field if its energy momentum tensor represents a situation in which all the energy is transported in one direction with the speed of light. In 1989, Wils and later in 1997 Ludwig and Edgar studied the physical properties of pure radiation metrics, which are conformally related to a …

This paper proves area-minimizing cones over products of Grassmannian manifolds.

This paper proves area-minimizing cones over Grassmannian manifolds.

After having investigated the regular prisms and prism tilings in the $\SLR$ space in the previous work \cite{Sz13-1} of the second author, we consider the problem of geodesic ball packings related to those tilings and their symmetry groups $\mathbf{pq2_1}$. $\SLR$ is one of the eight Thurston geometries that can be de…
