We show that the complex of homologous curves of a closed, oriented surface of genus g is (g-3)--acyclic.

We study the homogeneous involutions on the full square matrices over an algebraically closed field endowed with a division grading with commutative support. We obtain the classification of the isomorphism and equivalence classes for the…

In this paper we consider a class of connected closed $G$-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each $M$ of which is totally non-homologous to zero in $M_G$ (or $G$-equivariantly formal), where $G={\Bbb Z}_2$. With the help of…

In this article, we study compactifications of homogeneous spaces coming from equivariant, open embeddings into a generalized flag manifold $G/P$. The key to this approach is that in each case $G/P$ is the homogeneous model for a parabolic…

A symmetric tensor field on a Riemannian manifold is called Killing field if the symmetric part of its covariant derivative is equal to zero. There is a one to one correspondence between Killing tensor fields and first integrals of the…

We prove the existence of Alexandrov embedded closed magnetic geodesics on closed hyperbolic surfaces. Closed magnetic geodesics correspond to closed curves with prescribed geodesic curvature.

In this work we are interested in the characterization of curves that belong to a given surface. To the best of our knowledge, there is no known general solution to this problem. Indeed, a solution is only available for a few examples:…

We describe special Ka\"hler geometry, special quaternionic manifolds, and very special real manifolds and analyze the structure of their isometries. The classification of the homogeneous manifolds of these types is presented.

The existence of at least two homogeneous geodesics in any homogeneous Finsler manifold was proved in a previous paper by the author. The examples of solvable Lie groups with invariant Finsler metric which admit just two homogeneous…

We discuss the meaning of geometrical constructions associated to loop quantum gravity states on a graph. In particular, we discuss the "twisted geometries" and derive a simple relation between these and Regge geometries.

We show how to specify preferred parameterisations on a homogeneous curve in an arbitrary homogeneous space. We apply these results to limit the natural parameters on distinguished curves in parabolic geometries.

We prove that equivariant, holomorphic embeddings of Hermitian symmetric spaces are totally geodesic (when the image is not of exceptional type).

The geometry of closed surfaces equipped with a Euclidean metric with finitely many conical points of arbitrary angle is studied. The main result is that the image of a non-closed geodesic has 0 distance from the set of conical points.…

We examine closed geodesics in the quotient of hyperbolic three space by the discrete group of isometries SL(2,Z[i]). There is a correspondence between closed geodesics in the manifold, the complex continued fractions originally studied by…

We investigate a graph theoretic analog of geodesic geometry. In a graph $G=(V,E)$ we consider a system of paths $\mathcal{P}=\{P_{u,v}|u,v\in V\}$ where $P_{u,v}$ connects vertices $u$ and $v$. This system is consistent in that if vertices…

A quasigeodesic is a curve on the surface of a convex polyhedron that has $\le \pi$ surface to each side at every point. In contrast, a geodesic has exactly $\pi$ to each side and so can never pass through a vertex, whereas quasigeodesics…

Geodesically complete affine manifolds are quotients of the Euclidean space through a properly discontinuous action of a subgroup of affine Euclidean transformations. An equivalent definition is that the tangent bundle of such a manifold…

Here, we classify Lie groups acting isometrically on compact Lorentz manifolds, and in particular we describe the geometric structure of compact homogeneous Lorentz manifolds.

The author shows that equicontinuous geodesic flows on surfaces are periodic. A similar result for flows on 3-manifolds is also proven. The idea of the proof is to show that the return map is recurrent and therefore periodic.

This paper is about a type of quantitative density of closed geodesics and orthogeodesics on complete finite-area hyperbolic surfaces. The main results are upper bounds on the length of the shortest closed geodesic and the shortest doubly…
