We deal with compact Kaehler manifolds M which are acted on by a semisimple compact Lie group G of isometries with codimension one regular orbits. We provide an explicit description of the standard blow-ups of such manifolds along complex…

In this article we study the Hofer geometry of a compact Lie group $K$ which acts by Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on a symplectic manifold $M$. Generalized Hofer norms on the Lie algebra of $K$ are introduced and analyzed with tools from…

Let $G_{2(2)}$ be the non-compact connected simple Lie group of type $G_2$ over $\mathbb{R}$, and let $M$ be a connected analytic complete pseudo-Riemannian manifold that admits an isometric $G_{2(2)}$-action with a dense orbit. For the…

The author finds geodesics, shortest arcs, cut locus, and conjugate sets for left-invariant sub-Riemannian metric on the Lie group $SO_0(2,1)$ under the condition that the metric is right-invariant relative to the Lie subgroup $SO(2)\subset…

Fix a smooth closed manifold $M$. Let $R_M$ denote the space of all pairs $(g,L)$ such that $g$ is a $C^3$ Riemannian metric on $M$ and the real number $L$ is not the length of any closed $g$-geodesics. A locally constant geodesic count…

We present and study a family of metrics on the space of compact subsets of $R^N$ (that we call ``shapes''). These metrics are ``geometric'', that is, they are independent of rotation and translation; and these metrics enjoy many…

Motivated by various results on homogeneous geodesics of Riemannian spaces, we study homogeneous trajectories, i.e. trajectories which are orbits of a one-parameter symmetry group, of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems. We present criteria…

We investigate contact Lie groups having a left invariant Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian metric with specific properties such as being bi-invariant, flat, negatively curved, Einstein, etc. We classify some of such contact Lie groups and…

It is known that on a closed manifold of dimension greater than one, every smooth weak Riemannian metric on the space of smooth positive densities that is invariant under the action of the diffeomorphism group, is of the form $$…

Let M be either a simply connected pseudo-Riemannian space of constant curvature or a rank one Riemannian symmetric space (other than the octonion hyperbolic plane), and consider the space L(M) of oriented geodesics of M. The space L(M) is…

In this paper we study the geodesic flow on nilmanifolds equipped with a left-invariant metric. We write the underlying definitions and find general formulas for the Poisson involution. As an example we develop the Heisenberg Lie group…

In this paper we construct infinitely many examples of a Riemannian submersion from a simple, compact Lie group $G$ with bi-invariant metric onto a smooth manifold that cannot be a quotient of $G$ by a group action. This partially addresses…

The geodesic complexity of a Riemannian manifold is a numerical isometry invariant that is determined by the structure of its cut loci. In this article we study decompositions of cut loci over whose components the tangent cut loci fiber in…

This article provides an overview of various notions of shape spaces, including the space of parametrized and unparametrized curves, the space of immersions, the diffeomorphism group and the space of Riemannian metrics. We discuss the…

Geodesic nets on Riemannian manifolds form a natural class of stationary objects generalizing geodesics. Yet almost nothing is known about their classification or general properties even when the ambient Riemannian manifold is the Euclidean…

This paper is a review of recent results on integrable nonholonomic geodesic flows of left--invariant metrics and left- and right--invariant constraint distributions on compact Lie groups.

We prove the integrability of geodesic flows on the Riemannian g.o. spaces of compact Lie groups, as well as on a related class of Riemannian homogeneous spaces having an additional principal bundle structure.

In this work it is shown that a necessary condition for the completeness of the geodesics of left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Lie groups is also sufficient in the case of 3-dimensional unimodular Lie groups, and not sufficient…

In this paper, we investigate homogeneous Riemannian geometry on real flag manifolds of the split real form of $\mathfrak{g}_2$. We characterize the metrics that are invariant under the action of a maximal compact subgroup of $G_2.$ Our…

In this paper, we consider a Lie group $G$ equipped with two left-invariant Riemannian metrics $g^1$ and $g^2$. Using these two left-invariant Riemannian metrics we define a left-invariant Riemannian metric $\tilde{g}$ on the tangent Lie…
