problem Proving triviality of modified conformal vector fields on Riemannian manifolds.
method Analyzing properties of homothetic, conformal, and gradient vector fields on compact and non-compact manifolds.
result Established conditions under which m-modified conformal vector fields are trivial. We introduce the notion of quasi-triviality of quandles and define homology of quasi-trivial quandles.
