In the present work, we introduce a linear connection (preserving the almost product structure and the Riemannian metric) on Riemannian almost product manifolds. This connection, called P-connection, is an analogue of the first canonical…
Noether's theorem, which connects continuous symmetries to exact conservation laws, remains one of the most fundamental principles in physics and dynamical systems. In this work, we draw a conceptual parallel between two paradigms: the…
We introduce the concept of ODD ('$\mathbf{O}$rthogonally $\mathbf{D}$egenerating on a $\mathbf{D}$ivisor') Riemannian metrics on real analytic manifolds $M$. These semipositive symmetric $2$-tensors may degenerate on a finite collection of…
A pedagogical but concise overview of Riemannian geometry is provided, in the context of usage in physics. The emphasis is on defining and visualizing concepts and relationships between them, as well as listing common confusions,…
In this paper we construct a functor from the category of two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds to the category of three-dimensional manifolds with generalized metric tensors. For each two-dimensional oriented Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ we…
The main objective of this dissertation is to analyse thoroughly the construction of self-adjoint extensions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator defined on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and the role that quadratic forms play to…
Correlation matrices are fundamental summaries of functional brain networks, yet standard analyses often treat entries independently, ignoring the curved geometry of correlation space. Existing geometric methods frequently lack closed-form…
For the Riemannian manifold $M^{n}$ two special connections on the sum of the tangent bundle $TM^{n}$ and the trivial one-dimensional bundle are constructed. These connections are flat if and only if the space $M^{n}$ has a constant…
A linear connection on a Finsler manifold is called compatible to the metric if its parallel transports preserve the Finslerian length of tangent vectors. Generalized Berwald manifolds are Finsler manifolds equipped with a compatible linear…
In this paper, we will investigate the geodesic mappings of some special Riemannian manifolds. First, we will prove that if there exists an Einstein tensor preserving geodesic mapping from a quasi Einstein manifold $V_{n}$ onto a Riemannian…
This paper investigates the low-rank tensor completion problem, which is about recovering a tensor from partially observed entries. We consider this problem in the tensor train format and extend the preconditioned metric from the matrix…
Considering Riemannian submersions, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for when sub-Riemannian normal geodesics project to curves of constant first geodesic curvature or constant first and vanishing second geodesic curvatures. We…
Riemannian geometry provides the fundamental framework for optimization on nonlinear spaces such as matrix manifolds, which arise in machine learning, signal processing, and robotics. While the underlying theory is classical, existing…
This paper studies the quotient geometry of bounded or fixed-rank correlation matrices. We establish a bijection between the set of bounded-rank correlation matrices and a quotient set of a spherical product manifold by an orthogonal group.…
On a non-compact, smooth, connected, boundaryless, complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, one can define its ideal boundary by rays (or equivalently, Busemann functions). From the viewpoint of Mather theory, boundary elements could be…
For each connected complex reductive group G, we find a family of new examples of complex quasi-Hamiltonian G-spaces with G-valued moment maps. These spaces arise naturally as moduli spaces of (suitably framed) meromorphic connections on…
The purpose of this paper is to present for the first time an elementary summary of a few recent results obtained through the application of the formal theory of partial differential equations and Lie pseudogroups in order to revisit the…
In the present paper we consider the problem of the existence of pre-semigeodesic coordinates on manifolds with affine connection. We proved that pre-semigeodesic coordinates exist in the case when the components of the affine connection…
We consider how a closed Riemannian manifold $M$ and its metric tensor $g$ can be approximately reconstructed from local distance measurements. Moreover, we consider an inverse problem of determining $(M,g)$ from limited knowledge on the…
