In this paper we extend some well-known rigidity results for conformal changes of Einstein metrics to the class of generalized quasi-Einstein (GQE) metrics, which includes gradient Ricci solitons. In order to do so, we introduce the notions of conformal diffeomorphisms and vector fields that preserve a GQE structure. W…

Study on contact forms with constant curvature on CR manifolds.

We study solutions to the inverse mean curvature flow which evolve by homotheties of a given submanifold with arbitrary dimension and codimension. We first show that the closed ones are necessarily spherical minimal immersions and so we reveal the strong rigidity of the Clifford torus in this setting. Mainly we focus o…

We show existence of homothetically shrinking solutions of the fractional mean curvature flow, whose boundary consists in a prescribed numbers of concentric spheres. We prove that all these solutions, except from the ball, are dynamically unstable.

The evolute of a smooth curve in an m-dimensional Euclidean space is the locus of centers of its osculating spheres, and the evolute of a spatial polygon is the polygon whose consecutive vertices are the centers of the spheres through the consecutive (m+1)-tuples of vertices of the original polygon. We study the iterat…

We show that any compact quaternionic contact (qc) hypersurfaces in a hyper-Kähler manifold which is not totally umbilical has an induced qc structure, locally qc homothetic to the standard 3-Sasakian sphere. We also show that any nowhere umbilical qc hypersurface in a hyper-Kähler manifold is endowed with an involutiv…

Starting from $g$-natural pseudo-Riemannian metrics of suitable signature on the unit tangent sphere bundle $T_1 M$ of a Riemannian manifold $(M,\langle,\rangle)$, we construct a family of paracontact metric structures. We prove that this class of paracontact metric structures is invariant under $\mathcal D$-homothetic…

The aim of this paper is to study Sasakian immersions of compact Sasakian manifolds into the odd-dimensional sphere equipped with the standard Sasakian structure. We obtain a complete classification of such manifolds in the Einstein and $η$-Einstein cases when the codimension of the immersion is $4$. Moreover, we exhib…

Unique sphere solution for expanding flows converging to a point.

It has been known in that round spheres are the only closed homothetic self-similar solutions to the inverse mean curvature flow and parabolic curvature flows by degree -1 homogeneous functions of principle curvatures in the Euclidean space. In this article, we prove that the round sphere is rigid in much stronger sens…

Solves geodesic completeness on pseudo-homothetic Lie group.

In this paper we introduce entropy-stability and F-stability for homothetically shrinking Yang-Mills solitons, employing entropy and second variation of $\mathcal{F}$-functional respectively. For a homothetically shrinking soliton which does not descend, we prove that entropy-stability implies F-stability. These stabil…

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…

We show that any horizontally homothetic submersion from a compact manifold of nonnegative sectional curvature is a Riemannian submersion.

The paper explores conditions for homothetic Killing vectors on spacetime hypersurfaces.

In \cite{Mul} one-parameter planar motion was first introduced and the relations between absolute, relative, sliding velocities (and accelerations) in the Euclidean plane $\mathbb{E}^2$ were obtained. Moreover, the relations between the Complex velocities one-parameter motion in the Complex plane were provided by \cite…

The aim of this paper is to classify compact, simply connected Kähler manifolds which admit totally geodesic, holomorphic complex homothetic foliation by curves.

In this article we derive a complete classification of all submanifolds in space forms with codimension two for which the Gauss map is homothetic.

Minimal hypersurfaces in spheres generated by isoparametric foliations are found.

We study left-invariant distances on Lie groups for which there exists a one-parameter family of homothetic automorphisms. The main examples are Carnot groups, in particular the Heisenberg group with the standard dilations. We are interested in criteria implying that, locally and away from the diagonal, the distance is…

We obtain a local classification of complex homothetic foliations on Kaehler manifolds by complex curves. This is used to construct almost Kaehler, Ricci-flat metrics subject to additional curvature properties.

In this paper, we first give two fundamental principles under a technique to characterize conformal vector fields of $(α,β)$ spaces to be homothetic and determine the local structure of those homothetic fields. Then we use the principles to study conformal vector fields of some classes of $(α,β)$ spaces under certain c…

We classify homothetical surfaces with constant mean curvature in hyperbolic space.

Natural metric structures on tangent bundles and tangent sphere bundles enclose many important problems, from the topology of the base to the determination of their holonomy. We make here a brief study of the topic. We find the characteristic classes of some of those structures. We solve the question of when two given …

A homothetical surface arises as a graph of a function $z = \varphi_1(v_1) \varphi_2(v_2)$. In this paper, we study the homothetical surfaces in three dimensional psuedo-Galilean space$\left(\mathbb{G}_3^1\right)$ satisfying the conditions $Δ^{II}\textbf{x}_i=λ_i\textbf{x}_i,$ where $Δ^{II}$ is the Laplacian with respe…

In an incomplete market, with incompleteness stemming from stochastic factors imperfectly correlated with the underlying stocks, we derive representations of homothetic (power, exponential and logarithmic) forward performance processes in factor-form using ergodic BSDE. We also develop a connection between the forward …

In this paper, we completely classify the homothetical hypersurfaces having null Gauss-Kronocker curvature in a Euclidean (n+1)-space. Several applications to the production functions in economics are also given.

New geometric Joyce structures on moduli spaces of quadratic differentials.

We consider graphical solutions to mean curvature flow and obtain a stability result for homothetically expanding solutions coming out of cones of positive mean curvature: If another solution is initially close to the cone at infinity, then the difference to the homothetically expanding solution becomes small for large…

Flat holonomies imply homotheticity in certain curved spaces.

In this paper, it is proved that any conformal vector field is homothetic on a locally projectively flat $(α,β)$-space of non-Randers type in dimension $n\ge 3$, and the local solutions of such a vector field are determined. While on a locally projectively flat Randers space, examples showthat the conformal vector fiel…

The study introduces a new soliton concept to classify Sasakian 3-manifolds.

This paper studies rapidly forming singularities in the Yang-Mills flow. It is shown that a sequence of blow-ups near the singular point converges, modulo the gauge group, to a homothetically shrinking soliton with non-zero curvature. The proof uses Hamilton's monotonicity formula. Examples of homothetically shrinking …

Lawson-Osserman constructed three types of non-parametric minimal cones of high codimensions based on Hopf maps between spheres, which correspond to Lipschitz but non-differentiable solutions to the minimal surface equations, thereby making sharp contrast to the regularity theorem for minimal graphs of codimension 1. I…

Symmetry groups help define solitons in curved spaces.

In the study of the curve shortening flow on general closed curves, Abresch and Langer posed a conjecture that the homothetic curves can be regarded as saddle points between multi-folded circles and some singular curves. In other words, these homothetic curves are the watershed between curves with a nonsingular future …

We study the curve diffusion flow for closed curves immersed in the Minkowski plane $\mathcal{M}$, which is equivalent to the Euclidean plane endowed with a closed, symmetric, convex curve called an indicatrix that scales the length of a vector in $\mathcal{M}$ depending on its length. The indiactrix $\partial\mathcal{…

In this paper we study the set of balanced metrics (in Donaldson's terminology) on a compact complex manifold M which are homothetic to a given balanced one. This question is related to various properties of the Tian-Yau-Zelditch approximation theorem for Kahler metrics. We prove that this set is finite when $M$ admits…
