The present note deals with the dynamics of metric connections with vectorial torsion, as already described by E. Cartan in 1925. We show that the geodesics of metric connections with vectorial torsion defined by gradient vector fields coincide with the Levi-Civita geodesics of a conformally equivalent metric. By pullb…

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

We introduce a new object, the dynamical torsion, which extends the potentially ill-defined value at $0$ of the Ruelle zeta function of a contact Anosov flow twisted by an acyclic representation of the fundamental group. We show important properties of the dynamical torsion: it is invariant under deformations among con…

For all systolic groups we construct boundaries which are EZ--structures. This implies the Novikov conjecture for torsion--free systolic groups. The boundary is constructed via a system of distinguished geodesics in a systolic complex, which we prove to have coarsely similar properties to geodesics in CAT(0) spaces.

Sasakian manifolds provide explicit formulae of some Jacobi operators which describe the biharmonic equation of curves in Riemannian manifolds. In this paper we characterize non-geodesic biharmonic curves in Sasakian manifolds which are either tangent or normal to the Reeb vector field. In the three-dimensional case, w…

Abstract: Investigates octonion product deformations and related geometries.

We describe the curves of constant (geodesic) curvature and torsion in the three-dimensional round sphere. These curves are the trajectory of a point whose motion is the superposition of two circular motions in orthogonal planes. The global behavior may be periodic or the curve may be dense in a Clifford torus embedded…

In this paper, we will use Kahn-Markovic's almost totally geodesic surfaces to construct certain $π_1$-injective 2-complexes in closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Such 2-complexes are locally almost totally geodesic except along a 1-dimensional subcomplex. Using Agol and Wise's result that fundamental groups of hyperbolic …

In this note, we prove the existence of a closed geodesic of positive length on any compact developable orbifold of dimension 3, 5, or 7. The argument uses the stratification of the singular locus, and reduces the problem of existence of a closed geodesic on a compact developable orbifold to the case of even dimensiona…

Study compares eigenvalues and moment spectra of geodesic balls in Riemannian manifolds.

In this paper, the general formulation for inextensible flows of curves on oriented surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is investigated. The necessary and sufficient conditions for inextensible curve flow lying an oriented surface are expressed as a partial differential equation involving the geodesic curvature and the geodesic…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the foliation defined by level sets of a function f(x_{1},...,x_{n}) to be totally geodesic in a torsion-free connection and apply them to find the conditions for d-webs of hypersurfaces to be geodesic, and in the case of flat connections, for d-webs (d > n) of hypersurfa…

Researchers compute twisted Reidemeister torsion for hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

In this paper, we take into account the opinion of involute-evolute curves which lie on fully surfaces and by taking into account the Darboux frames of them we illustrate these curves as special involute-evolute partner D-curves in E3. Besides, we find the relations between the normal curvatures, the geodesic curvature…

In this paper, we give the definition, different types and characterizations of Mannheim partner D-curves in Minkowski 3-space. We find the relations between the geodesic curvatures, the normal curvatures and the geodesic torsions of these associated curves. Furthermore, we show that the definition and the characteriza…

Study of multiplicative connections in Lie groupoids.

In this paper, we define a new type of ruled surface called ruled surface by using the alternative frame of a base curve. Then, we study its differential geometric properties such as striction line, distribution parameter, fundamental forms, Gaussian and mean curvatures. Moreover, we find geodesic curvatures, normal cu…

We also find the relations between the geodesic curvatures, the normal curvatures and the geodesic…

Characterizes concircular helices in space forms and ruled hypersurfaces.

We investigate the concept of projective equivalence of connections in supergeometry. To this aim, we propose a definition for (super) geodesics on a supermanifold in which, as in the classical case, they are the projections of the integral curves of a vector field on the tangent bundle: the geodesic vector field assoc…

New invariants from quantum group theory for hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

We find that the target space of two-dimensional (4,0) supersymmetric sigma models with torsion coupled to (4,0) supergravity is a QKT manifold, that is, a quaternionic Kähler manifold with torsion. We give four examples of geodesically complete QKT manifolds one of which is a generalisation of the LeBrun geometry. We …

As a first result we prove that any holomorphic curve exiting the boundary of a bounded symmetric domain $Ω$ must necessarily be asymptotically totally geodesic. A…
