We prove a sufficient condition for the existence of explicit first integrals for vector fields which admit an integrating factor. This theorem recovers and extends previous results in the literature on the integrability of vector fields…
The main purpose of this paper is twofold. We first want to analyze in details the meaningful geometric aspect of the method introduced in the previous paper [12], concerning regularity of families of irreducible, nodal "curves" on a…
In Kaehler manifolds are investigated conformally flat totally real submanifolds, which are semiparallel or have semiparallel mean curvature vector.
The first part of this note contains a review of basic properties of the variety of lines contained in an embedded projective variety and passing through a general point. In particular we provide a detailed proof that for varieties defined…
We provide unipotent factorizations of vector bundle automorphisms of real and complex vector bundles over smooth manifolds. This generalises work of Thurston-Wasserstein and Wasserstein for trivial vector bundles. We also address two…
Flows of vector fields are an essential tool in differential geometry, with countless applications in both theory and practice. While they have been extensively studied for ordinary manifolds and supermanifolds, a treatment of flows in…
In this article, we investigate Hecke modifications of vector bundles on a smooth projective curve $X$ defined over an arbitrary field. We obtain structural results that allow us to reduce the classification problem of Hecke modifications…
It is shown that the geometry of parallelizable manifolds can be extended to non-parallelizable ones by extending the connection that a global frame field would define on a parallelizable manifold to a connection that a singular frame field…
We study continuous groups of generalized Kerr-Schild transformations and the vector fields that generate them in any n-dimensional manifold with a Lorentzian metric. We prove that all these vector fields can be intrinsically characterized…
A geometric realization of the projective completion of the Jordan pair corresponding to a three-graded Lie algebra is given which permits to develop a geometric structure theory of the projective completion. This will be used in Part II of…
We study rationality properties of quadric surface bundles over the projective plane. We exhibit families of smooth projective complex fourfolds of this type over connected bases, containing both rational and non-rational fibers.
The paper is an informal report on joint work with Stefan Haller on Dynamics in relation with Topology and Spectral Geometry. By dynamics one means a smooth vector field on a closed smooth manifold; the elements of dynamics of concern are…
Graded vector bundles over a given $\mathbb{Z}$-graded manifold can be defined in three different ways: certain sheaves of graded modules over the structure sheaf of the base graded manifold, finitely generated projective graded modules…
Using a recent description of the geometric stability manifold, we show the geometric stability manifold associated to any smooth projective complex surface is contractible. We then use this result to demonstrate infinitely many new…
We construct a framework within which a mathematically precise, fully covariant, and exact averaging procedure for tensor fields on a manifold can be formulated. In particular, we introduce the Weitzenb\"ock connection for parallel…
We define and study a family of distributions with domain complete Riemannian manifold. They are obtained by projection onto a fixed tangent space via the inverse exponential map. This construction is a popular choice in the literature for…
This is a continuation of the authors' previous work [math.AT/9910001] on classification of equivariant complex vector bundles over a circle. In this paper we classify equivariant real vector bundles over a circle with a compact Lie group…
Vector fields with components which are generalized zero-forms are constructed. Inner products with generalized forms, Lie derivatives and Lie brackets are computed. The results are shown to generalize previously reported results for…
Applying concepts and tools from classical tangent bundle geometry and using the apparatus of the calculus along the tangent bundle projection ('pull-back formalism'), first we enrich the known lists of the characterizations of affine…
Vectors fields defined on surfaces constitute relevant and useful representations but are rarely used. One reason might be that comparing vector fields across two surfaces of the same genus is not trivial: it requires to transport the…
