A Riemannian metric on a manifold M induces a family of Riemannian metrics on the loop space LM depending on a Sobolev space parameter s. We compute the connection forms of these metrics and the higher symbols of their curvature forms,…

H. A. Hayden [1] introduced the idea of semi-symmetric non-metric connection on a Riemannian manifold in (1932). Agashe and Chafle \cite{1} defined and studied semi-symmetric non-metric connection on a Riemannian manifold. In the present…

With regard to classical differential geometry, this paper written in 1916 by T. Levi-Civita introduces the notion of parallelism for a Riemannian manifold of arbitrary dimensions. It also provides a geometrical explanation for the…

In this paper, we develop a new index theory for manifolds with polyhedral boundary. As an application, we prove Gromov's dihedral extremality conjecture regarding comparisons of scalar curvatures, mean curvatures and dihedral angles…

We address a conjecture that $\pi_1$-surjective maps between closed aspherical 3-manifolds having the same rank on $\pi_1$ must be of non-zero degree. The conjecture is proved for Seifert manifolds, which is used in constructing the first…

In this paper we extend the concept of a conjugate point in a Riemannian manifold to complete length spaces (also known as geodesic spaces). In particular, we introduce symmetric conjugate points and ultimate conjugate points. We then…

Jarnik's identity plays a major role in classical simultaneous approximation to two real numbers. O. German [2] has shown a generalization to the weighted setting in which the identity has to be replaced by two inequalities. His methods…

Mirror symmetry, a phenomenon in superstring theory, has recently been used to give tentative calculations of several numbers in algebraic geometry. In this paper, the numbers of lines and conics on various hypersurfaces which satisfy…

An index $e$ in a numbering of partial-recursive functions is called minimal if every lesser index computes a different function from $e$. Since the 1960's it has been known that, in any reasonable programming language, no effective…

By a recent result, it is known that compact homogeneous spaces with co-index of symmetry 4 are quotients of a semisimple Lie group of dimension at most 10. In this paper we determine exactly which ones of these spaces actually admit such a…

In this work we study riemannian metrics on flag manifolds adapted to the symmetries of these homogeneous nonsymmetric spaces. We first introduce the notion of riemannian $\Gamma $-symmetric space when $\Gamma $ is a general abelian finite…

A Riemannian manifold is called harmonic if its volume density function expressed in polar coordinates centered at any point is radial. Flat and rank-one symmetric spaces are harmonic. The converse (the Lichnerowicz Conjecture) is true for…

We prove the Mirror Conjecture for Calabi-Yau manifolds equipped with a holomorphic symplectic form. Such manifolda are also known as complex manifolds of hyperkaehler type. We obtain that a complex manifold of hyperkaehler type is Mirror…

We show that one can characterize the Besov spaces on a smooth compact oriented Riemannian manifold, for the full range of indices, through a knowledge of the size of frame coefficients, using the frames we have constructed in [8].

In our previous paper [SIMAX 31 n.3 1491-1506(2010)], we studied the condition metric in the space of maximal rank matrices. Here, we show that this condition metric induces a Lipschitz-Riemann structure on that space. After investigating…

We introduce the notion of index of summability for pairs of Banach spaces; for Banach spaces E; F, this index plays the role of a kind of measure of how the m-homogeneous polynomials from E to F are far from being absolutely summing. In…

We give a new proof of a theorem of Loos stating that a Riemannian symmetric space X with rectangular unit lattice is a symmetric R-space. For this we construct explicitly an isometric extrinsically symmetric embedding of X in a Euclidean…

In 1983, Z\u{a}linescu showed that the squared norm of a uniformly convex normed space is uniformly convex on bounded subsets. We extend this result to the metric setting of uniformly convex hyperbolic spaces. We derive applications to the…

As observed by Auderset et al. (2005) and Wiesel (2012), viewing covariance matrices as elements of a Riemannian manifold and using the concept of geodesic convexity provide useful tools for studying M-estimators of multivariate scatter. In…

This article follows our previous work on Campbell-Hausdorff formula. We study the case of symmetric spaces. We recover, by using a Kontsevich's deformation of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula, Rouviere's results on the convolution of…
