The quantum deformation $CP_q(N)$ of complex projective space is discussed. Many of the features present in the case of the quantum sphere can be extended. The differential and integral calculus is studied and $CP_q(N)$ appears as a quantum…
Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. We show that there exist three orthogonal projections $X_1, X_2, X_3$ onto closed subspaces of $H$ such that for every $0\ne z_0\in H$ there exist $k_1, k_2,\dots \in \{1,2,3\}$ so that the…
Non-split almost complex supermanifolds and non-split Riemannian supermanifolds are studied. The first obstacle for a splitting is parametrized by group orbits on an infinite dimensional vector space. Further it is shown that non-split…
Riemannian metrics on the unit ball of the quaternions, which are naturally associated with the reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. We study the metric arising from the Hardy space in detail. We show that, in contrast to the one-complex…
Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian dynamical systems are well formalized mathematically. They give rise to geometric structures describing motion of a point in smooth manifolds. Riemannian metric is a different geometric structure…
Orthogonal spaces are vector spaces together with a quadratic form whose associated bilinear form is non-degenerate. Over fields of characteristic two, there are many quadratic forms associated to a given bilinear form and quadratic…
We describe a construction of Riemannian metrics of nonnegative sectional curvature on a closed smooth nonorientable 4-manifold with fundamental group of order two that realizes a homotopy class that was not previously known to contain…
A. Derdzinki [D] gave examples of Riemannian metrics with harmonic curvature and non parallel Ricci tensor on some compact manifolds $(M,g]$ . We examine their existence as well as their number wich naturally depends on the geometry of the…
Several local elliptic coordinates are used to build a new polyelliptic coordinate system which is orthogonal and admits the separation of variables. Such coordinate systems can give the exact solutions of some unsolved problems in quantum…
The geometries of spaces having as groups the real orthogonal groups and some of their contractions are described from a common point of view. Their central extensions and Casimirs are explicitly given. An approach to the trigonometry of…
Being motivated by the orthogonal maps studied in \cite{GN1}, orthogonal pairs between the projective spaces equipped with possibly degenerate Hermitian forms were introduced. In addition, orthogonal pairs are generalizations of holomorphic…
There are many theorems in the differential geometry literature of the following sort. Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold with some conditions on various curvatures, diameters, volumes, etc. Then M is homotopy equivalent to a finite CW…
We prove the existence of compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with parallel Weyl tensor which are neither conformally flat nor locally symmetric, and represent all indefinite metric signatures in all dimensions $\,n\ge5$. Until now such…
We study the existence of Riemannian metrics with zero topological entropy on a closed manifold M with infinite fundamental group. We show that such a metric does not exist if there is a finite simply connected CW complex which maps to M in…
We describe the (complex) quaternionic geometry encoded by the embeddings of the Riemann sphere, with nonnegative normal bundles.
Discrete conjugate systems are quadrilateral nets with all planar faces. Discrete orthogonal systems are defined by the additional property of all faces being concircular. Their geometric properties allow one to consider them as proper…
This paper is devoted to a coordinate-free approach to several classic geometries such as hyperbolic (real, complex, quaternionic), elliptic (spherical, Fubini-Study), and lorentzian (de Sitter, anti de Sitter) ones. These geometries carry…
We present a uniform framework generalising and extending the classical theories of projective differential geometry, c-projective geometry, and almost quaternionic geometry. Such geometries, which we call \emph{projective parabolic…
An algebraic formulation of Riemannian geometry on quantum spaces is presented, where Riemannian metric, distance, Laplacian, connection, and curvature have their counterparts. This description is also extended to complex manifolds.…
The space of all non degenerate bilinear structures on a manifold $M$ carries a one parameter family of pseudo Riemannian metrics. We determine the geodesic equation, covariant derivative, curvature, and we solve the geodesic equation…
