Generic 3D vector fields have singularly hyperbolic transitive sets.

We give a complete list of those left invariant unit vector fields on three-dimensional Lie groups with the left-invariant metric that generate a totally geodesic submanifold in the unit tangent bundle of a group with the Sasaki metric. As a result, each class of three-dimensional Lie groups admits the totally geodesic…

We show that in dimension 2 every Finsler metric with at least 3-dimensional Lie algebra of projective vector fields is locally projectively equivalent to a Randers metric. We give a short list of such Finsler metrics which is complete up to coordinate change and projective equivalence.

Classifies left invariant Kundt structures on 3D Lie groups.

We consider the three-dimensional Heisenberg group, equipped with any left-invariant metric, either Lorentzian or Riemannian. We completely classify their affine vector fields and investigate their relationship with Killing vector fields and their casual character. We also classify their Ricci, curvature and matter col…

We completely describe paracontact metric three-manifolds whose Reeb vector field satisfies the Ricci soliton equation. While contact Riemannian (or Lorentz\-ian) Ricci solitons are necessarily trivial, that is, $K$-contact and Einstein, the paracontact metric case allows nontrivial examples. Both homogeneous and inhom…

Novel contact metric structures lead to supergravity solutions.

Starting with Lie's classification of finite-dimensional transitive Lie algebras of vector fields on $\mathbb C^2$ we construct Lie algebras of vector fields on the bundle $\mathbb C^2 \times \mathbb C$ by lifting the Lie algebras from the base. There are essentially three types of transitive lifts and we compute all o…

The topological classification of gradient like Morse-Smale vector fields and diffeomorphisms on 3-manifolds was obtained.

In this article we study an almost $f$-cosymplectic manifold admitting a Ricci soliton. We first prove that there do not exist Ricci solitons on an almost cosymplectic $(κ,μ)$-manifold. Further, we consider an almost $f$-cosymplectic manifold admitting a Ricci soliton whose potential vector field is the Reeb vector fie…

The purpose of the paper is to study Yamabe solitons on three-dimensional para-Sasakian, paracosymplectic and para-Kenmotsu manifolds. Mainly, we proved that *If the semi-Riemannian metric of a three-dimensional para-Sasakian manifold is a Yamabe soliton, then it is of constant scalar curvature, and the flow vector fie…

Generically, the set of points along which two non-singular vector fields on the three-sphere are positively (resp. negatively) collinear form a link. We prove that the two vector fields are homotopic if and only if the linking number of those links is zero. We use this criterion to give a new proof of a result of Yano…

The paper proves a theorem about earthquake extensions of vector fields on circles.

A curve is rectifying if it lies on a moving hyperplane orthogonal to its curvature vector. In this work, we extend the main result of [Chen 2017, Tamkang J. Math. 48, 209] to any space dimension: we prove that rectifying curves are geodesics on hypercones. We later use this association to characterize rectifying curve…

In this paper we study curvature types of immersed surfaces in three-dimensional (normed or) Minkowski spaces. By endowing the surface with a normal vector field, which is a transversal vector field given by the ambient Birkhoff orthogonality, we get an analogue of the Gauss map. Then we can define concepts of principa…

We classify Riemannian surfaces admitting associated families in three dimensional homogeneous spaces with four-dimensional isometry groups and in a wide family of (semi-Riemannian) warped products, with an extra natural condition (namely, rotating structure vector field). We prove that, provided the surface is not tot…

Study timelike surfaces with parallel mean curvature in Minkowski 4-space.

We consider the Laplace normal vector field of relatively normalized ruled surfaces with non-vanishing Gaussian curvature in the three-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. We determine all ruled surfaces and all relative normalizations for which the Laplace normal image degenerates into a point or into a curve…

This paper is a study of three-dimensional paracontact metric (\k{appa},μ,ν)-manifolds. Three dimensional paracontact metric manifolds whose Reeb vector field ξ is harmonic are characterized. We focus on some curvature properties by considering the class of paracontact metric (\k{appa},μ,ν)-manifolds under a condition …

The paper defines and analyzes conformal trajectories in 3D space forms.

Locally homogeneous Lorentzian three-manifolds with recurrect curvature are special examples of Walker manifolds, that is, they admit a parallel null vector field. We obtain a full classification of the symmetries of these spaces, with particular regard to symmetries related to their curvature: Ricci and matter colline…

The paper classifies hypersurfaces in product spaces with specific curvature properties and finds that only rotational ones admit almost Ricci solitons.

In this paper the result of real hypersurfaces in non-flat complex space forms, whose structure vector field $ξ$ belongs to the $κ$-nullity distribution is extended in case of three dimensional real hypersurfaces in non-flat complex space forms. Furthermore, generalization of notion ($κ$,$μ$)-nullity distribution defin…

We study surfaces with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field in Euclidean or Minkowski 4-space. On any such surface we introduce special isothermal parameters (canonical parameters) and describe these surfaces in terms of three invariant functions. We prove that any surface with parallel normalized mean curva…

This paper considers the problem of embedding directed graphs in Euclidean space while retaining directional information. We model a directed graph as a finite set of observations from a diffusion on a manifold endowed with a vector field. This is the first generative model of its kind for directed graphs. We introduce…

We classify all transitive actions of Lie algebras of vector fields on C^3 and R^3 up to a local equivalence and discuss why this classification can not be extended in general to the solvable case. The main technical tool is the structure of one-dimensional invariant foliations on homogeneous spaces.

Nahm's equations are viewed in a more general context where they appear as a vector field on a moduli space of co-Higgs bundles on the projective line. Zeros of this vector field correspond to torsion-free sheaves on a singular spectral curve which we translate in terms of a smooth curve in three-dimensional projective…

We study steady-state magnetic fields in the geometric setting of positive curvature on subdomains of the three-dimensional sphere. By generalizing the Biot-Savart law to an integral operator BS acting on all vector fields, we show that electrodynamics in such a setting behaves rather similarly to Euclidean electrodyna…

In the four-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space with neutral metric there are three types of rotational surfaces with two-dimensional axis - rotational surfaces of elliptic, hyperbolic or parabolic type. A surface whose mean curvature vector field is lightlike is said to be quasi-minimal. In this paper we classify all q…
