Geodesic orbit manifolds (or g.o. manifolds) are those Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ whose geodesics are integral curves of Killing vector fields. Equivalently, there exists a Lie group $G$ of isometries of $(M,g)$ such that any geodesic…

A detailed study is made of the noncommutative geometry of $R^3_q$, the quantum space covariant under the quantum group $SO_q(3)$. For each of its two $SO_q(3)$-covariant differential calculi we find its metric, the corresponding frame and…
