Geodesics become an essential element of the geometry of a semi-Riemannian manifold. In fact, their differences and similarities with the (positive definite) Riemannian case, constitute the first step to understand semi-Riemannian Geometry.…

Let $\{\phi_s\}_{s\in S}$ be a commutative semigroup of completely positive, contractive, and weak*-continuous linear maps acting on a von Neumann algebra $N$. Assume there exists a semigroup $\{\alpha_s\}_{s\in S}$ of weak*-continuous…

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…

The question whether a Riemannian manifold is geodesically connected can be studied from geometrical as well as variational methods, and accurate results can be obtained by using the associated distance and related properties of the…

As a generalization of slant submersions (Sahin, 2011), semi-slant submersions (Park and Prasad), and slant Riemannian maps (Sahin), we define the notion of semi-slant Riemannian maps from almost Hermitian manifolds to Riemannian manifolds.…

In this paper we propose a new supersymmetric extension of conformal mechanics. The Grassmannian variables that we introduce are the basis of the forms and of the vector-fields built over the symplectic space of the original system. Our…

Almost-isometries are quasi-isometries with multiplicative constant one. Lifting a pair of metrics on a compact space gives quasi-isometric metrics on the universal cover. Under some additional hypotheses on the metrics, we show that there…

Let S be a distributive {∨, 0}-semilattice. In a previous paper, the second author proved the following result: Suppose that S is a lattice. Let K be a lattice, let $\phi$: Con K $\to$ S be a {∨, 0}-homomorphism. Then $\phi$ is,…

We construct a lift of the $p$-complete sphere to the universal height $1$ higher semiadditive stable $\infty$-category tsade-$1$ of Carmeli--Schlank--Yanovski, providing a counterexample, at height $1$, to their conjecture that the natural…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold, $L(M)$ be its frame bundle, $O(M)$ its orthonormal frame bundle. For a distribution $D$ on $M$ we define a subbundle $L(D)\subset L(M)$ or $O(D)\subset O(M)$ in a natural way. This allows us to consider…

Every Finsler metric naturally induces a spray but not so for the converse. The notion for sprays of scalar (resp. isotropic) curvature has been known as a generalization for Finsler metrics of scalar (resp. isotropic) flag curvature. In…

In the present paper we show that the geodesic flows of a sub-Riemannian metric and that of a Riemannian extension commute if and only if the extended metric is parallel with respect to a certain connection. This helps us to describe the…

We develop a lifting theory for the exponential map of semi-Riemannian manifolds that overcomes the classical obstruction caused by its singularities. We show that every smooth path in the manifold admits, up to a nondecreasing…

We introduce and study the notion of \emph{semiadditive height} for higher semiadditive $\infty$-categories, which generalizes the chromatic height. We show that the higher semiadditive structure trivializes above the height and prove a…

We prove that the universal covering of a complete locally symmetric normal metric contact pair manifold is a Calabi-Eckmann manifold. Moreover we show that a complete, simply connected, normal metric contact pair manifold such that the…

Complete wetting of geometrically structured substrates by one-component fluids with long-ranged interactions is studied. We consider periodic arrays of rectangular or parabolic grooves and lattices of cylindrical or parabolic pits. We show…

Many models in mathematical physics are given as non-linear partial differential equation of hydrodynamic type; the incompressible Euler, KdV, and Camassa--Holm equations are well-studied examples.A beautiful approach to well-posedness is…

In this paper, we introduce principally $\delta$-lifting modules which are analogous to $\delta$-lifting modules and principally $\delta$-semiperfect modules as a generalization of $\delta$-semiperfect modules and investigate their…

We introduce the complete lifts of maps between (real and complex) Euclidean spaces and study their properties concerning holomorphicity, harmonicity and horizontal weakly conformality. As applications, we are able to use this concept to…

We introduce the concept of spray-invariant sets on infinite-dimensional manifolds, where any geodesic of a spray starting in the set stays within it for its entire domain. These sets, possibly including singular spaces such as stratified…
