Study new Ricci flow invariant curvature conditions.

This note is a study of nonnegativity conditions on curvature which are preserved by the Ricci flow. We focus on specific kinds of curvature conditions which we call noncoercive, these are the conditions for which nonnegative curvature and vanishing scalar curvature doesn't imply flatness. We show that, in dimensions g…

Study controls bifurcations in Eulerian flows with multiple Hopf singularities.

We consider a subset $S$ of the complex Lie algebra $\so(n,\C)$ and the cone $C(S)$ of curvature operators which are nonnegative on $S$. We show that $C(S)$ defines a Ricci flow invariant curvature condition if $S$ is invariant under $\Ad_{\SO(n,\C)}$. The analogue for Kähler curvature operators holds as well. Although…

Researchers create metrics on hyperbolic space's tangent bundle.

We consider Ricci flow invariant cones C in the space of curvature operators lying between nonnegative Ricci curvature and nonnegative curvature operator. Assuming some mild control on the scalar curvature of the Ricci flow, we show that if a solution to Ricci flow has its curvature operator which satsisfies R+εI \in C…

By proving precisely which singularity index lists arise from the pair of invariant foliations for a pseudo-Anosov surface homeomorphism, Masur and Smillie determined a Teichmueller flow invariant stratification of the space of quadratic differentials. In this paper we determine an analog to the theorem for $Out(F_3)$.…

Study on Ricci flows of awesome homogeneous spaces, proving finite extinction time.

We study a positivity condition for the curvature of oriented Riemannian 4-manifolds: The half-$PIC$ condition. It is a slight weakening of the positive isotropic curvature ($PIC$) condition introduced by M. Micallef and J. Moore. We observe that the half-$PIC$ condition is preserved by the Ricci flow and satisfies a m…

The paper classifies solitons in the Heisenberg space.

By proving precisely which singularity index lists arise from the pair of invariant foliations for a pseudo-Anosov surface homeomorphism, Masur and Smillie determined a Teichmüller flow invariant stratification of the space of quadratic differentials. In this final paper of a three-paper series, we give a first step to…

Geodesics in Sol geometry described with invariant k and spiral properties.

Study of flows on 7D manifolds with holomorphic properties.

We consider the geodesic flow of reversible Finsler metrics on the 2-sphere and the 2-torus, whose geodesic flow has vanishing topological entropy. Following a construction of A. Katok, we discuss examples of Finsler metrics on both surfaces, which have large ergodic components for the geodesic flow in the unit tangent…

It has been shown that for each Killing-Yano (KY)-form accepted by an $n$-dimensional (pseudo)Riemannian manifold of arbitrary signature, two basic gravitational currents can be defined. Conservation of the currents are explicitly proved by showing co-exactness of the one and co-closedness of the other. Some general ge…

Proves lower bounds on Hausdorff dimension of projections of invariant sets.

Some model reduction techniques for multiple time-scale dynamical systems make use of the identification of low dimensional slow invariant attracting manifolds (SIAM) in order to reduce the dimensionality of the phase space by restriction to the slow flow. The focus of this work is on a proposition and discussion of a …

Study magnetic geodesic flows on spheres, describing their bifurcations.

Develops a new method for learning discrete distributions without embedding them in a continuous space.

We generalize most of the known Ricci flow invariant non-negative curvature conditions to less restrictive negative bounds that remain sufficiently controlled for a short time. As an illustration of the contents of the paper, we prove that metrics whose curvature operator has eigenvalues greater than $-1$ can be evolve…

Study of separatrix configurations in holomorphic flows with real time.

B Wilking has recently shown that one can associate a Ricci flow invariant cone of curvature operators $C(S)$, which are nonnegative in a suitable sense, to every $Ad_{SO(n,\C)}$ invariant subset $S \subset {\bf so}(n,\C)$. For curvature operators of a Kähler manifold of complex dimension $n$, one considers $Ad_{GL(n,\…

<ENGLISH> Consider a closed, smooth manifold M of nonpositive sectional curvature. Write p:UM-> M for the unit tangent bundle over M and let R_> denote the subset consisting of all vectors of higher rank. This subset is closed and invariant under the geodesic flow on UM. We will define the structured dimension sdim(R_>…
