We introduce slant submersions from almost Hermitian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. We give examples, investigate the geometry of foliations which are arisen from the definition of a Riemannian submersion and check the harmonicity of…

We prove the result stated in the title; it is equivalent to the existence of a regular point of the sub-Riemannian exponential mapping. We also prove that the metric is analytic on an open everywhere dense subset in the case of a complete…

In order to compare and interpolate signals, we investigate a Riemannian geometry on the space of signals. The metric allows discontinuous signals and measures both horizontal (thus providing many benefits of the Wasserstein metric) and…

We consider nonholonomic geodesic flows of left-invariant metrics and left-invariant nonintegrable distributions on compact connected Lie groups. The equations of geodesic flows are reduced to the Euler-Poincare-Suslov equations on the…

In this paper, a Riemannian geometry of noncommutative super surfaces is developed which generalizes [4] to the super case. The notions of metric and connections on such noncommutative super surfaces are introduced and it is shown that the…

The paper is devoted to the study of geodesic orbit Riemannian spaces that could be characterize by the property that any geodesic is an orbit of a 1-parameter group of isometries. In particular, we discuss some important totally geodesic…

We prove that the geodesic flow for the Weil-Petersson metric on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces is ergodic (in fact Bernoulli) and has finite, positive metric entropy.

This article is devoted to the long-standing problem on the smoothness of sub-Riemannian geodesics. We prove that the derivatives of sub-Riemannian geodesics are always $L_p$-H\"older continuous. Additionally, this result has several…

We study Riemannian metrics on 2-surfaces with integrable geodesic flows such that an additional first integral is high-degree polynomial in momenta. This problem reduces to searching for solutions to certain quasi-linear systems of PDEs…

We classify semi-Riemannian submersions with connected totally geodesic fibres from a real pseudo-hyperbolic space onto a semi-Riemannian manifold under the assumption that the dimension of the fibres is less than or equal to three and the…

Given a closed Riemannian manifold, we prove the C0-general density theorem for continuous geodesic flows. More precisely, that there exists a residual (in the C0-sense) subset of the continuous geodesic flows such that, in that residual…
