Study on generalized quasi-Einstein structures in contact geometry.

Following Matveev, a k-normal surface in a triangulated 3-manifold is a generalization of both normal and (octagonal) almost normal surfaces. Using spines, complexity, and Turaev-Viro invariants of 3-manifolds, we prove the following results: 1) a minimal triangulation of a closed irreducible or a bounded hyperbolic 3-…

This paper considers asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with a finite boundary intersecting the usual infinite boundary -- cornered asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds -- and proves a theorem of Cartan-Hadamard type near infinity for the normal exponential map on the finite boundary. As a main application, a normal fo…

In this paper the geometry of normal metric contact pair manifolds is studied under the flatness of conformal, concircular and quasi-conformal curvature tensors. It is proved that a conformal flat normal metric contact pair manifold is an Einstein manifold with a negative scalar curvature and has positive sectional cur…

Characterizes connections on normal distributions manifold.

In this paper, we study normal complex contact metric manifolds and we get some general results on them. Moreover, we obtained the general expression of the curvature tensor field for arbitrary vector fields. Furthermore, we show that the necessary and succient conditions to be normal a complex contact metric manifold.…

We prove that smooth cube manifolds have normal smooth structures.

We define a 2-normal surface to be one which intersects every 3-simplex of a triangulated 3-manifold in normal triangles and quadrilaterals, with one or two exceptions. The possible exceptions are a pair of octagons, a pair of unknotted tubes, an octagon and a tube, or a 12-gon. In this paper we use the theory of criti…

The concept of a normal surface in a triangulated, compact 3-manifold was generalised by Thurston to a spun-normal surface in a non-compact 3-manifold with ideal triangulation. This paper defines a boundary curve map which takes a spun-normal surface to an element of the direct sum of the first homology groups of the v…

Researchers create normal forms for CR manifolds in complex space.

In this paper, we use normal surface theory to study Dehn filling on a knot-manifold. First, it is shown that there is a finite computable set of slopes on the boundary of a knot-manifold that bound normal and almost normal surfaces in a one-vertex triangulation of that knot-manifold. This is combined with existence th…

We classify the normal CR structures on $S^3$ and their automorphism groups. Together with [3], this closes the classification of normal CR structures on contact 3-manifolds. We give a criterion to compare 2 normal CR structures, and we show that the underlying contact structure is, up to homotopy, unique.

Families of linear connections are constructed on almost contact manifolds with Norden metric. An analogous connection to the symmetric Yano connection is obtained on a normal almost contact manifold with Norden metric and closed structural 1-form. The curvature properties of this connection are studied on two basic cl…

The authors give a complete classification of projective threefolds admitting a holomorphic normal projective connection. Moreover, they prove a general structure theorem on complex projective manifolds admitting a holomorphic normal projective connection, saying in particular, that any such manifold is either the proj…

The presented paper is devoted to study the curvature and torsion of slant Frenet curves in 3-dimensional normal almost paracontact metric manifolds. Moreover, in this class of manifolds, properties of non- Frenet slant curves (with null tangents or null normals) are obtained. The achieved results are illustrated by ex…

On the Grassmann manifold G (m, n) of m-dimensional subspaces of an n-dimensional projective space P^n, a certain supplementary construction called the normalization is considered. By means of this normalization, one can construct the structure of a Riemannian or semi-Riemannian manifold or an affine connection on G(m,…

A method for learning distributions on complex manifolds using normalizing flows.

We define a Heegaard-Scharlemann-Thompson (HST) splitting of a 3-manifold M to be a sequence of pairwise-disjoint, embedded surfaces, {F_i}, such that for each odd value of i, F_i is a Heegaard splitting of the submanifold of M cobounded by F_{i-1} and F_{i+1}. Our main result is the following: Suppose M (\neq B^3 or S…

Newtonian dynamical systems which accept the normal shift on an arbitrary Riemannian manifold are considered. For them the determinating equations making the weak normality condition are derived. The expansion for the algebra of tensor fields is constructed.

In this article, we shall investigate the relationship between the existence or non-existence of non-singular solutions to the normalized Ricci flow and smooth structures on closed 4-manifolds, where non-singular solutions to the normalized Ricci flow are solutions which exist for all time $t \in [0, \infty)$ with unif…

Affirmative answer to a question about a map extending normal invariants.

We construct some families of complex structures on compact manifolds by means of normal almost contact structures (nacs) so that each complex manifold in the family has a non-singular holomorphic flow. These families include as particular cases the Hopf and Calabi-Eckmann manifolds and the complex structures on the pr…

In this paper, we will compute the dimension of the space of spun and ordinary normal surfaces in an ideal triangulation of the interior of a compact 3-manifold with incompressible tori or Klein bottle components. Spun normal surfaces have been described in unpublished work of Thurston. We also define a boundary map fr…

Simplified proof classifies surfaces using normal curves.

In this paper, we prove that the two well-known natural normalizations of Hamiltonian functions on the symplectic manifold $(M,ω)$ canonically relates the action spectra of different normalized Hamiltonians on {\it arbitrary} symplectic manifolds $(M,ω)$. The natural class of normalized Hamiltonians consists of those w…

The system of weak normality equations constitutes a part in the complete system of normality equations. Solutions of each of these two systems of equations are associated with some definite classes of Newtonian dynamical systems in Riemannian manifolds. In this paper for the case of simplest flat Riemannian manifold $…

We study normal CR compact manifolds in dimension 3. For a choice of a CR Reeb vector field, we associate a Sasakian metric on them, and we classify those metrics. As a consequence, the underlying manifolds are topologically finite quotiens of the 3-sphere or of a circle bundle over a Riemann surface of positive genus.…
