Let (M,g) be a complete noncompact riemannian manifold with bounded geometry and parallel Ricci curvature. We show that some operators, "affine" relatively to the Ricci curvature, are locally invertible, in some classical Sobolev spaces,…

We give a complete local classification of all Riemannian 3-manifolds $(M,g)$ admitting a nonvanishing Killing vector field $T$. We then extend this classification to timelike Killing vector fields on Lorentzian 3-manifolds, which are…

In quantum mechanics textbooks the momentum operator is defined in the Cartesian coordinates and rarely the form of the momentum operator in spherical polar coordinates is discussed. Consequently one always generalizes the Cartesian…

Matter collineations (MCs) are the vector fields along which the energy-momentum tensor remains invariant under the Lie transport. Invariance of the metric, the Ricci and the Riemann tensors have been studied extensively and the vectors…

We study a modified version of Lerman-Whitehouse Menger-like curvature defined for m+2 points in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. For 1 <= l <= m+2 and an m-dimensional subset S of R^n we also introduce global versions of this discrete…

The momentum operator $ {\bf p} = - i {\bx \nabla} $ has radial component $ {\bf \tilde p} \equiv - i {\bf \hat{r}} ({1 \over r} \partial_r r).$ We show that ${\bf \tilde p} $ is the space part of a 4-vector operator, the zero component of…

A vector field $V$ on any (semi-)Riemannian manifold is said to be mixed Killing if for some nonzero smooth function $f$, it satisfies $L_VL_Vg=fL_Vg$, where $L_V$ is the Lie derivative along $V$. This class of vector fields, as a…
