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…

We study geometric aspects of horizontal 2-plane distributions on the complement of the zero section in the 5-dimensional total space of a rank-3 vector bundle equipped with connection over a surface. We show that any surface in…

A unit vector field on a Riemannian manifold $M$ is called geodesic if all of its integral curves are geodesics. We show, in the case of $M$ being a flat 3-manifold not equal to $\mathbb{E}^3$, that every such vector field is tangent to a…

We define a hierarchy functor from the exact symplectic cobordism category to a totally ordered set from a $BL_\infty$ (Bi-Lie) formalism of the rational symplectic field theory (RSFT). The hierarchy functor consists of three levels of…

In this paper, we consider a compact Kahler manifold with extremal Kahler metric and a Mumford stable holomorphic bundle over it. We proved that, if the holomorphic vector field defining the extremal Kahler metric is liftable to the bundle…

Let $X$ be a scheme. Let $r \geq 2$ be an integer. Denote by $W_r(X)$ the scheme of Witt vectors of length $r$, built out of $X$. We are concerned with the question of extending (=lifting) vector bundles on $X$, to vector bundles on…

Modern formulation of Finsler geometry of a manifold M utilizes the equivalence between this geometry and the Riemannian geometry of VTM, the vertical bundle over the tangent bundle of M, treating TM as the base space. We argue that this…

We introduce the notion of generalized function taking values in a smooth manifold into the setting of full Colombeau algebras. After deriving a number of characterization results we also introduce a corresponding concept of generalized…

In his seminal work on Teichm\"uller spaces (\cite{Th98}), Thurston introduced the maximal stretch for a pair of hyperbolic metrics on a closed surface of genus $\geq 2$ and showed that the logarithm of this quantity induces an asymmetric…

We investigate the finiteness structure of a complete non-compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ whose radial curvature at a base point of $M$ is bounded from below by that of a non-compact von Mangoldt surface of revolution with…

We present a formalisation of the existence and uniqueness theorems of integral curves of vector fields on Banach manifolds in the Lean theorem prover. First, we formalize properties of differential equations on Banach spaces (the…

The main theorem of this article provides sufficient conditions for a degree $d$ finite cover $M'$ of a hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ to be a surface-bundle. Let $F$ be an embedded, closed and orientable surface of genus $g$, close to a minimal…

Let $Z$ be a hypersurface of a manifold $M$. The $b$-tangent bundle of $(M, Z)$, whose sections are vector fields tangent to $Z$, is used to study pseudodifferential operators and stable Poisson structures on $M$. In this paper we introduce…

We consider a unit normal vector field of (local) hyperfoliation on a given Riemannian manifold as a submanifold in the unit tangent bundle with Sasaki metric. We give an explicit expression of the second fundamental form for this…
