In this paper, we discuss the decomposition of a Lie group with a left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric and the uniqueness. In fact, it is a decomposition of a Lie group into totally geodesic sub-manifolds which is different from the De…

We show how an affine connection on a Riemannian manifold occurs naturally as a cochain in the complex for Leibniz cohomology of vector fields with coefficients in the adjoint representation. The Leibniz coboundary of the Levi-Civita…

Consider a smooth manifold and an action on it of a compact connected Lie group with a bi-invariant metric. Then, any orbit is an embedded submanifold that is isometric to a normal homogeneous space for the group. In this paper, we…

The class of statistical manifolds with divisible cubic forms arises from affine differential geometry. We examine the geodesic connectedness of affine connections on this class of statistical manifolds. In information geometry, the…

The theory of flat Pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and flat affine manifolds is closely connected to the topic of prehomogeneous affine representations of Lie groups. In this article, we exhibit several aspects of this correspondence. At the…

We give a characterization of flat affine connections on manifolds by means of a natural affine representation of the universal covering of the Lie group of diffeomorphisms preserving the connection. From the infinitesimal point of view,…
