Researchers found all special metrics in 4D for certain curvature functionals.

Mathematically, a homothetic function is a function of the form $f({\bf x})=F(h(x_1,...,x_n))$, where $h$ is a homogeneous function of any degree $d\ne 0$ and $F$ is a monotonically increasing function. In economics homothetic functions are production functions whose marginal technical rate of substitution is homogeneo…

In this paper, we completely classify homogeneous production functions with an arbitrary number of inputs whose production hypersurfaces are flat. As an immediate consequence, we obtain a complete classification of homogeneous production functions with two inputs whose production surfaces are developable.

The nonzero level sets of a homogeneous, logarithmically homogeneous, or translationally homogeneous function are affine spheres if and only if the Hessian determinant of the function is a multiple of a power or an exponential of the function. In particular, the nonzero level sets of a homogeneous polynomial are proper…

In this paper we further investigate the geometry of monads of order-preserving functionals and of positively homogeneous functionals. We prove that for any compactum X with $w(X) = τ$ the map $μ_F X$, where $F\in\{O,OH\}$, is homeomorphic to trivial $I^τ$-fibration if and only if $X$ is openly generated $χ$-homogeneou…

It is well-known that non-constant holomorphic functions do not exist on a compact complex manifold. This statement is false for a supermanifold with a compact reduction. In this paper we study the question under what conditions non-constant holomorphic functions do not exist on a compact homogeneous complex supermanif…

New method groups similar functional covariates for better modeling.

Motivated by various results on homogeneous geodesics of Riemannian spaces, we study homogeneous trajectories, i.e. trajectories which are orbits of a one-parameter symmetry group, of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems. We present criteria under which an orbit of a one-parameter subgroup of a symmetry group G is a solu…

k-Curvature homogeneous three-dimensional Walker metrics are described for k=0,1,2. This allows a complete description of locally homogeneous three-dimensional Walker metrics, showing that there exist exactly three isometry classes of such manifolds. As an application one obtains a complete description of all locally h…

The notions of uniformity and homogeneity of elastic materials are reviewed in terms of Lie groupoids and frame bundles. This framework is also extended to consider the case Functionally Graded Media, which allows us to obtain some homogeneity conditions.

We show that for an immortal homogeneous Ricci flow solution any sequence of parabolic blow-downs subconverges to a homogeneous expanding Ricci soliton. This is established by constructing a new Lyapunov function based on curvature estimates which come from real geometric invariant theory.

Characterizes CR manifolds as critical points of an energy functional.

Study proves structure results for homogeneous spaces supporting specific equations.

We show that homogeneous Einstein metrics on Euclidean spaces are Einstein solvmanifolds, using that they admit periodic, integrally minimal foliations by homogeneous hypersurfaces. For the geometric flow induced by the orbit-Einstein condition, we construct a Lyapunov function based on curvature estimates which come f…

We study existence and non-existence of constant scalar curvature metrics conformal and arbitrarily close to homogeneous metrics on spheres, using variational techniques. This describes all critical points of the Hilbert-Einstein functional on such conformal classes, near homogeneous metrics. Both bifurcation and local…

Study Palais-Smale sequences for Ricci curvature on homogeneous spaces.

We use spectral embeddings to give upper bounds on the spectral function of the Laplace--Beltrami operator on homogeneous spaces in terms of the volume growth of balls. In the case of compact manifolds, our bounds extend the 1980 lower bound of Peter Li for the smallest positive eigenvalue to all eigenvalues. We also i…

We study in this paper three natural notions of convergence of homogeneous manifolds, namely infinitesimal, local and pointed, and their relationship with a fourth one, which only takes into account the underlying algebraic structure of the homogeneous manifold and is indeed much more tractable. Along the way, we intro…

Study shows algebraic nature of manifold submetries on compact spaces.

Researchers examine global properties of a scalar curvature functional to solve the prescribed Ricci curvature problem.

In this paper we prove the following result: if two 2-dimensional 2-homogeneous rational vector fields commute, then either both vector fields can be explicitly integrated to produce rational flows with orbits being lines through the origin, or both flows can be explicitly integrated in terms of algebraic functions. In…

Geometric framework for CFMMs simplifies many results.

Study proves conformal vector fields on certain Finsler manifolds are Killing fields.

Study stability of Einstein metrics on homogeneous spaces.

Capillarity functionals are parameter invariant functionals defined on classes of two-dimensional parametric surfaces in R3 as the sum of the area integral and a non homogeneous term of suitable form. Here we consider the case of a class of non homogenous terms vanishing at infinity for which the corresponding capillar…

Study non-homogeneous operators in 1+0 systems, classifying and analyzing their geometric properties.

Extends functions on symmetric spaces to analytic functions.

A classical result of Milman roughly states that every Lipschitz function on $\mathbb{S}^n$ is almost constant on a sufficiently high-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^m\subset \mathbb{S}^n$. In this paper we extend the result by proving that any Lipschitz function on a positively curved homogeneous space is almost consta…

We introduce the concept of a graded bundle which is a natural generalization of the concept of a vector bundle and whose standard examples are higher tangent bundles T^nQ playing a fundamental role in higher order Lagrangian formalisms. Graded bundles are graded manifolds in the sense that we can choose an atlas whose…

We show that a simply connected Riemannian homogeneous space M which admits a totally geodesic hypersurface F is isometric to either (a) the Riemannian product of a space of constant curvature and a homogeneous space, or (b) the warped product of the Euclidean space and a homogeneous space, or (c) the twisted product o…

The paper examines bi-Lipschitz triviality of function germs on singular varieties.

A pseudo-length function defined on an arbitrary group $G = (G,\cdot,e, (\,)^{-1})$ is a map $\ell: G \to [0,+\infty)$ obeying $\ell(e)=0$, the symmetry property $\ell(x^{-1}) = \ell(x)$, and the triangle inequality $\ell(xy) \leqslant \ell(x) + \ell(y)$ for all $x,y \in G$. We consider pseudo-length functions which sa…

Proof confirms conjecture for certain braids and their closures.

In this paper we investigate the functors of OH of positively homogenous functionals and OS of semiadditive functionals. We show that OH(X) is AR if and only if X is openly generated, and OS(X) is AR if and only if X is an openly generated compactum of weight less than $ω_1$. Also, we investigate the multiplication map…

We obtain a first order extension of the large deviation estimates in the Gärtner-Ellis theorem. In addition, for a given family of measures, we find a special family of functions having a similar Laplace principle expansion up to order one to that of the original family of measures. The construction of the special fam…

The paper characterizes strong Hamel functions using symmetries and proves their preservation properties.

The paper studies Einstein metrics on specific manifolds and their rigidity properties.

A Finsler geometry may be understood as a homogeneous variational problem, where the Finsler function is the Lagrangian. The extremals in Finsler geometry are curves, but in more general variational problems we might consider extremal submanifolds of dimension $m$. In this minicourse we discuss these problems from a ge…

We consider the homogeneous and the non-homogeneous convex relaxations for combinatorial penalty functions defined on support sets. Our study identifies key differences in the tightness of the resulting relaxations through the notion of the lower combinatorial envelope of a set-function along with new necessary conditi…
