We discuss the rolling, without slip and without twist, of Stiefel manifolds equipped with $\alpha$-metrics, from an intrinsic and an extrinsic point of view. We, however, start with a more general perspective, namely by investigating…

We consider invariant covariant derivatives on reductive homogeneous spaces corresponding to the well-known invariant affine connections. These invariant covariant derivatives are expressed in terms of horizontally lifted vector fields on…

Let G be a real or complex linear algebraic reductive group. Let H and F be reductive subgroups. We study the natural H action on G/F. The main theorem of this note shows that generic H orbits are closed. This theorem is then applied to…

We study homogeneous curves on some classes of reductive homogeneous spaces G=H which are geodesics with respect to any G-invariant metric on G=H. These curves are called equigeodesics. The spaces we consider are certain Stiefel manifolds…

We develop a general theory for irreducible homogeneous spaces $M= G/H$, in relation to the nullity $\nu$ of their curvature tensor. We construct natural invariant (different and increasing) distributions associated with the nullity, that…

A reductive homogeneous space $G/H$ is always diffeomorphic to the normal bundle of an orbit of a maximal compact subgroup of $G$. We prove that if $G/H$ admits compact quotients, then the sphere bundle associated to this normal bundle is…

Let G/Q be an homogeneous variety embedded in a projective space P thanks to an ample line bundle L. Take a projective space containing P and form the cone X over G/Q, we call this a cone over an homogeneous variety. Let $\alpha$ a class of…

The subject of this work is to study martingales in a reductive homogeneous space with respect to a symmetric connection. Our basic idea is to view homogenous spaces as principal fiber bundles and, thus, to study martingales on homogeneous…

In this paper we explore homogeneous spaces Z=G/H of a a real reductive Lie group G with a closed connected subgroup H. The investigation concerns the decay at infinity of smooth functions on Z, and L^p-integrability of matrix coefficients.…

We develop a holonomy reduction procedure for general Cartan geometries. We show that, given a reduction of holonomy, the underlying manifold naturally decomposes into a disjoint union of initial submanifolds. Each such submanifold…

Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group that acts on a smooth complex algebraic variety $X$, and let $E$ be a $G$-equivariant algebraic vector bundle over $X$. A section of $E$ is regular if it is transversal to the zero…

Consider a compact Lie group $G$ and a closed Lie subgroup $H<G$. Let $\mathcal M$ be the set of $G$-invariant Riemannian metrics on the homogeneous space $M=G/H$. By studying variational properties of the scalar curvature functional on…

For all spherical homogeneous spaces G/H, where G is a simply connected semisimple algebraic group and H a connected solvable subgroup of G, we compute the spectra of the representations of G on spaces of regular sections of homogeneous…

Let Z be a homogeneous space Z=G/H of a real reductive Lie group G with a reductive subgroup H. The investigation concerns the quantitative decay of matrix coefficients on $Z$ under the assumption that Z is of spherical type, that is,…

Many geometric learning problems require invariants on heterogeneous product spaces, i.e., products of distinct spaces carrying different group actions, where standard techniques do not directly apply. We show that, when a group $G$ acts…

Spinorial methods have proven to be a powerful tool to study geometric properties of spin manifolds. Our aim is to continue the spinorial study of manifolds that are not necessarily spin. We introduce and study the notion of $G$-invariance…

In this note we classify all homogeneous spaces $G/H$ admitting a $G$-invariant $G_2$-structure, assuming that $G$ is a compact Lie group and $G$ acts effectively on $G/H$. They include a subclass of all homogeneous spaces $G/H$ with a…

We introduce steerable neural ordinary differential equations on homogeneous spaces $M=G/H$. These models constitute a novel geometric extension of manifold neural ordinary differential equations (NODEs) that transport associated feature…

Let $G$ be a reductive linear algebraic group. The simplest example of a projective homogeneous $G$-variety in characteristic $p$, not isomorphic to a flag variety, is the divisor $x_0 y_0^p+x_1 y_1^p+x_2 y_2^p=0$ in $P^2\times P^2$, which…
