Study $G_2$-flows reducing to complex geometry flows, focusing on $G_2$-anomaly and $G_2$-Laplacian coflow.

In this paper, we define a complete lift for semisprays. If $S$ is a semispray on a manifold $M$, its complete lift is a new semispray $S^c$ on $TM$. The motivation for this lift is two-fold: First, geodesics for $S^c$ correspond to the Jacobi fields for $S$, and second, this complete lift generalizes and unifies previ…

Study $G_2$-manifolds from symplectic $SU(3)$-manifolds with $T^2$-symmetry.

In this paper, we study the geometry of surfaces with the generalised simple lift property. This work generalises previous results by Bernstein and Tinaglia, and it is motivated by the fact that leaves of a minimal lamination obtained as a limit of a sequence of properly embedded minimal disks satisfy the generalised s…

The paper provides a geometric framework for understanding non-equilibrium thermodynamics.

The big phase space, the geometric setting for the study of quantum cohomology with gravitational descendents, is a complex manifold and consists of an infinite number of copies of the small phase space. The aim of this paper is to define a Hermitian geometry on the big phase space. Using the approach of Dijkgraaf and …

Survey of Dupin hypersurfaces in Lie sphere geometry.

In Finsler geometry the complete lift vector fields have distinguished geometric significance. For example a vector field on a Finsler manifold is said to be conformal if its complete lift is conformal in usual sense. In this work we define a new Riemannian or Pseudo-Riemannian metric on TM derived from a Finsler metri…

We obtain an algorithmic construction of the isotropy lattice for a lifted action of a Lie group $G$ on $TM$ and $T^*M$ based only on the knowledge of $G$ and its action on $M$. Some applications to symplectic geometry are also shown.

In this paper we continue to study equivariant pencil liftings and differential operators on the algebra of densities. We emphasize the role that the geometry of the extended manifold plays. Firstly we consider basic examples. We give a projective line of diff($M$)-equivariant pencil liftings for first order operators,…

Defines Jacobi fields in nonholonomic mechanics.

The goal of this paper is to introduce the lifting theory that has an important role in geometry. Therefore, using the lifts of differential geometric structures we show that tangent bundle TM of paracomplex manifold M admits para-complex torsion-free affine connection.

We review and then combine two aspects of the theory of bundle gerbes. The first concerns lifting bundle gerbes and connections on those, developed by Murray and Gomi. Lifting gerbes represent obstructions against extending the structure group of a principal bundle. The second is the transgression of gerbes to loop spa…

In studies of smooth maps with good differential topological conditions such as immersions, embeddings, Morse functions and their higher dimensional versions including fold maps and application to geometry, especially algebraic and differential topology of manifolds, liftings or desingulizations of maps of appropriate …

In the present work we construct a lift of a metric $g$ on a 2-dimensional oriented Riemannian manifold $M$ to a metric $\hat{g}$ on the total space $P$ of the orthonormal frame bundle of $M$. We call this lift the \textit {Wagner lift}. Viktor Vladimirovich Wagner (1908 -1981) proposed a technique to extend a metric d…

Survey on categorifying Jones polynomial.

We deal here with the geometry of the twistor fibration $\mathcal{Z} \to \bb{S}^3_1$ over the De Sitter 3-space. The total space $\mathcal{Z}$ is a five dimensional reductive homogeneous space with two canonical invariant almost CR structures. Fixed the normal metric on $\mathcal{Z}$ we study the harmonic map equation …

Mathematical analysis of Prytz planimeter using sub-Riemannian geometry.

A manifold with an arbitrary affine connection is considered and the geodesic spray associated with the connection is studied in the presence of a Lie group action. In particular, results are obtained that provide insight into the structure of the reduced dynamics associated with the given invariant affine connection. …

Jet isomorphism theorems for conformal geometry are discussed. A new proof of the jet isomorphism theorem for odd-dimensional conformal geometry is outlined, using an ambient realization of the conformal deformation complex. An infinite order ambient lift for conformal densities in the case in which harmonic extension …

Let X be a compact manifold with a smooth action of a compact connected Lie group G. Let $L\to X$ be a complex line bundle. Using the Cartan complex for equivariant cohomology, we give a new proof of a theorem of Hattori and Yoshida which says that the action of G lifts to L if and only if the first Chern class $c\sb 1…

The paper proves metrizability and dynamics of Weil bundles.

Study Riemann-Finsler geometry on tangent bundles of Lie groups with 2D commutator subgroup.

In this paper for a given Banach, possibly infinite dimensional, manifold $M$ we focus on the geometry of its iterated tangent bundle $T^rM$, $r\in {\N}\cup\{\infty\}$. First we endow $T^rM$ with a canonical atlas using that of $M$. Then the concepts of vertical and complete lifts for functions and vector fields on $T^…

The paper extends Vlasov kinetic theory to time-dependent dynamics using cosymplectic and cocontact manifolds.

Every action on a Poisson manifold by Poisson diffeomorphisms lifts to a Hamiltonian action on its symplectic groupoid which has a canonically defined momentum map. We study various properties of this momentum map as well as its use in reduction.

This is a survey of our research on geometric structures of projective embeddings and includes some topics of our talks in several symposia during 1990-99. We clarify our main problem, which is to construct a kind of geometric composition series of projective embeddings. The concept of "geometric composition series" is…

The paper explores geometric structures on Weil bundles and their canonical lifts.

Coarse geometry, and in particular coarse homotopy theory, has proven to be a powerful tool for approaching problems in geometric group theory and higher index theory. In this paper, we continue to develop theory in this area by proving a Coarse Lifting Lemma with respect to a certain class of bornologous surjective ma…

Horizontal endomorphisms, almost complex structures, vertical, horizontal and complete lifts on prolongation of a Lie algebroid are considered. Then using exact sequences, semisprays are constructed. Moreover, important geometrical objects such as classical distinguished connections, torsions and partial curvatures are…

Discrete maximal surfaces identified from s-embeddings.

Using vertical and complete lifts, any left invariant Riemannian metric on a Lie group induces a left invariant Riemannian metric on the tangent Lie group. In the present article we study the Riemannian geometry of tangent bundle of two families of Lie groups. The first one is the family of special Lie groups considere…

The paper extends the functional geometry of the visual cortex to more complex architectures using contactization and symplectization.

Natural analogs of Lie brackets on affine bundles are studied, based on natural examples from differential geometry and analytical mechanics. In particular, a close relation to Lie algebroids and, by a sort of duality, to affine analogs of Poisson structures is established as well as affine versions of the complete lif…

Semichiral $(2,2)$ sigma models with $4d$ target space are discussed. A novel description in $(1,1)$ superspace allows an analysis of possible extended supersymmetries. It is argued that a manifest semichiral realization of an extra supersymmetry is only possible for hyperkähler target geometry. A semichiral formulatio…
