Introduces a new Hodge theory using vector fields on manifolds.

This research bridges Killing vectors and Lie algebras through induced vector fields.

The paper simplifies proofs and characterizes contact structures in 3D.

In 1970, Samuel I. Goldberg and Kentaro Yano defined the notion of noninvariant hypersurface of a Sasakian manifold [1]. In this paper we have studied the properties of parallel vector fields with respect to induced connection on the noninvariant hypersurface $M$ of a Sasakian manifold $\tilde M$ with $(φ, g, u, v, λ)-…

A new cohomology, induced by a vector field, is defined on pairs of differential forms ($1$--differentiable forms) in a manifold. It is proved a link with the classical de Rham cohomology and an $1$-differentable cohomology of Lichnerowicz type associated to an one form. Also, the case when the manifold is complex and …

In this paper we study the geometrical structures on the cotangent bundle using the notions of adapted tangent structure and regular vector fields. We prove that the dynamical covariant derivative on $T^{*}M$ fix a nonlinear connection for a given $\mathcal{J}$-regular vector field. Using the Legendre transformation in…

On a Lorentzian manifold the existence of a parallel null vector field implies certain constraint conditions on the induced Riemannian geometry of a space-like hypersurface. We will derive these constraint conditions and, conversely, show that every real analytic Riemannian manifold satisfying the constraint conditions…

Harmonic basis vector fields on surfaces

We introduce a stochastic model for noisy vector fields on manifolds.

We investigate the existence of coordinate transformations which bring a given vector field on a manifold equipped with an involutive distribution into the form of a second-order differential equation field with parameters. We define associated connections and we give a coordinate-independent criterion for determining …

In this paper we address the following questions: (i) Let $C\subset \mathbb C^2$ be an orbit of a polynomial vector field which has finite total Gaussian curvature. Is $C$ contained in an algebraic curve? (ii) What can be said of a polynomial vector field which has a finitely curved transcendent orbit? We give a positi…

The isotropic almost complex structures induce a Riemannian metric $g_{δ,σ}$ on TM, which are the generalized type of Sasakian metric. In this paper, the Levi-Civita connection of $g_{δ,σ}$ is calculated and the harmonicity of unit vector fields from $(M, g)$ to $(S(M), i*g_{δ,0})$ is investigated, where $i*g_{δ,0}$ is…

The main purpose of present paper is to study the affine connection induced from the horizontal lift on the cross-section determined by a vector field in Mn with respect to the adapte frame of .

In this paper we study symmetries, Newtonoid vector fields, conservation laws, Noether's Theorem and its converse, in the framework of the $k$-symplectic formalism, using the Frölicher-Nijenhuis formalism on the space of $k^1$-velocities of the configuration manifold. For the case $k=1$, it is well known that Cartan sy…

Navigation in Lorentz Finsler geometry induces isoparametric hypersurfaces.

A $(TE)$-structure $\nabla$ over a complex manifold $M$ is a meromorphic connection defined on a holomorphic vector bundle over $\mathbb{C}\times M$, with poles of Poincaré rank one along $\{ 0 \} \times M.$ Under a mild additional condition (the so called unfolding condition), $\nabla$ induces a multiplication on $TM$…

Given a null hypersurface $L$ of a Lorentzian manifold, we construct a Riemannian metric $\widetilde{g}$ on it from a fixed transverse vector field $ζ$. We study the relationship between the ambient Lorentzian manifold, the Riemannian manifold $(L,\widetilde{g})$ and the vector field $ζ$. As an application, we prove so…

A Poincaré-Hopf theorem in the spirit of Pugh is proven for compact orbifolds with boundary. The theorem relates the index sum of a smooth vector field in generic contact with the boundary orbifold to the Euler-Satake characteristic of the orbifold and a boundary term. The boundary term is expressed as a sum of Euler c…

In many Lagrangian field theories, there is a Poisson bracket on the space of local functionals. One may identify the fields of such theories as sections of a vector bundle. It is known that the Poisson bracket induces an sh-Lie structure on the graded space of horizontal forms on the jet bundle of the relevant vector …

We study first and second order conformal symmetries of the Yamabe Laplacian on a general pseudo-Riemannian manifold and of the Paneitz operator on Einstein spaces. We show that first order conformal symmetries of the Yamabe operator induce second order conformal symmetries. We show that on an Einstein space every conf…

We present a generalization of the Nambu mechanics on the base of Liouville's theorem. We prove that the Poisson structure of an n-dimensional multisymplectic phase space is induced by (n-1)-Hamiltonian k-vector field seach of which requires introduction of k-Hamiltonians.

In this paper we show that for an invariant $(α,β)-$metric $F$ on a homogeneous Finsler manifold $\frac{G}{H}$, induced by an invariant Riemannian metric $\tilde{a}$ and an invariant vector field $\tilde{X}$, the vector $X=\tilde{X}(H)$ is a geodesic vector of $F$ if and only if it is a geodesic vector of $\tilde{a}$. …

Linearizability of singular foliations is preserved under a specific equivalence relation.

In this paper we study the infinitesimal symmetries, Newtonoid vector fields, infinitesimal Noether symmetries and conservation laws of Hamiltonian systems. Using the dynamical covariant derivative and Jacobi endomorphism on the cotangent bundle we find the invariant equations of infinitesimal symmetries and Newtonoid …

Outer billiards maps on foliated surfaces with specific vector fields.

In this article parametric versions of Wilson's plug and Kuperberg's plug are discussed. We show that there is a weak homotopy equivalence induced by the inclusion between the space of non-singular vector fields tangent to a foliation and the subspace of those without closed orbits, as long as the leaves of the foliati…

In this paper, we discuss the geometric integration of hamiltonian systems on Poisson manifolds, in particular, in the case, when the Poisson structure is induced by a Lie algebra, that is, it is a Lie-Poisson structure. A Hamiltonian system on a Poisson manifold $(P, Π)$ is a smooth manifold $P$ equipped with a bivect…

In this paper an analytic proof of a generalization of a theorem of Bismut ([Bis1, Theorem 5.1]) is given, which says that, when $v$ is a transversal holomorphic vector field on a compact complex manifold $X$ with a zero point set $Y$, the embedding $j:Y\to X$ induces a natural isomorphism between the holomorphic equiv…

We propose a new non-parametric framework for learning incrementally stable dynamical systems x' = f(x) from a set of sampled trajectories. We construct a rich family of smooth vector fields induced by certain classes of matrix-valued kernels, whose equilibria are placed exactly at a desired set of locations and whose …

Study the geometry and symmetries of moduli spaces of connections on KT manifolds.

Diffeological and differential spaces are generalisations of smooth structures on manifolds. We show that the "intersection" of these two categories is isomorphic to Frölicher spaces, another generalisation of smooth structures. We then give examples of such spaces, as well as examples of diffeological and differential…

This paper deals with global asymptotic stability of prolongations of flows induced by specific vector fields and their prolongations. The method used is based on various estimates of the flows.

Study geometry on $G_2$-manifolds, focusing on $Spin(7)$ and $G_2$.

We consider bundle homomorphisms between tangent distributions and vector bundles of the same rank. We study the conditions for fundamental singularities when the bundle homomorphism is induced from a Morin map. When the tangent distribution is the contact structure, we characterize singularities of the bundle homomorp…

The paper explores algebraic and geometric structures on parallelizable manifolds.

We classify nontrivial deformations of the standard embedding of the Lie algebra $\Vect(S^1)$ of smooth vector fields on the circle, into the Lie algebra~$\PD(S^1)$ of pseudodifferential symbols on $S^1$. This approach leads to deformations of the central charge induced on $\Vect(S^1)$ by the canonical central extensio…

We show how the tangent bundle decomposition generated by a system of ordinary differential equations may be generalized to the case of a system of second order PDEs `of connection type'. Whereas for ODEs the decomposition is intrinsic, for PDEs it is necessary to specify a closed 1-form on the manifold of independent …

The study lists low-dimensional stratified groups and their properties.

A linear section of a double vector bundle is a parallel pair of sections which form a vector bundle morphism; examples include the complete lifts of vector fields to tangent bundles and the horizontal lifts arising from a connection in a vector bundle. A grid in a double vector bundle consists of two linear sections, …

The second section is dedicated to the notion of submanifold in the total space of the 2-osculator bundle, the manifold Osc^{2}M. A moving frame is const…

In this paper, for a variety of nonholonomic (reducible) Hamiltonian systems, we first give to various distributional Hamiltonian systems, by analyzing carefully the dynamics and structures of the nonholonomic Hamiltonian systems. Secondly, we derive precisely the geometric constraint conditions of the induced distribu…

Study geodesics in Kähler metrics for all time.

We show that $φ$-invariant submanifolds of metric contact pairs with orthogonal characteristic foliations make constant angles with the Reeb vector fields. Our main result is that for the normal case such submanifolds of dimension at least $2$ are all minimal. We prove that an odd-dimensional $φ$-invariant submanifold …
