We show that the extended principal bundle of a Cartan geometry of type $(A(m,\mathbb{R}),GL(m,\mathbb{R}))$, endowed with its extended connection $\hat\omega$, is isomorphic to the principal $A(m,\mathbb{R})$-bundle of affine frames…

For all left-invariant Riemannian metrics on three-dimensional unimodular Lie groups, there exist particular left-invariant orthonormal frames, so-called Milnor frames. In this paper, for any left-invariant Riemannian metrics on any Lie…

In a previous article, we introduced a reduction procedure for locally conformally symplectic manifolds at any regular value of the momentum mapping. We use this construction to prove an analogue of a well-known theorem in the symplectic…

We provide a method of converting Lagrange and Finsler spaces and their Legendre transforms to Hamilton and Cartan spaces into almost Kaehler structures on tangent and cotangent bundles. In particular cases, the Hamilton spaces contain…

This is the second of two companion papers dedicated to the investigation of vortex motion on non-orientable surfaces. The first paper of the pair is predominantly concerned with establishing the Hamiltonian approach to systems of point…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold, $L(M)$ its frame bundle. We construct new examples of Riemannian metrics on $L(M)$, which are obtained from Riemannian metrics on the tangent bundle $TM$. We compute the Levi--Civita connection and…

This paper is devoted to the study of conformal and projective structures, and especially their connections, in the language of 2-frames, or $G$-structures of 2nd-order. While their normal Cartan connections are well-known, we use the…

In this paper, we construct rotating frames for curves, including plane curves, space curves and curves on surfaces. Hence, the behaviour of an arbitrary moving point on a curve can be seen as the composite of linear motion and rotation.…

In order to facilitate the comparison of Riemannian homogeneous spaces of compact Lie groups with noncommutative geometries ("quantizations") that approximate them, we develop here the basic facts concerning equivariant vector bundles and…

Many physically important mechanical systems may be described with a Lie group $G$ as configuration space. According to the well-known Noether's theorem, underlying symmetries of the Lie group may be used to considerably reduce the…

Finding constrained saddle points on Riemannian manifolds is significant for analyzing energy landscapes arising in physics and chemistry. Existing works have been limited to special manifolds that admit global regular level-set…

We use moving frame techniques to derive a notion of curvature for a class of piecewise-smooth Riemannian metrics called Regge metrics, showing that it is a measure that simultaneously satisfies the (weak) Cartan structure equations and the…

This article presents a purely functional-analytic construction of the concept of stochastic parallel transport in Hermitian bundles over Riemannian manifolds. As a byproduct, we also obtain a form of the Feynman-Kac formula in vector…

In this paper we relate the Fefferman-Graham ambient metric construction for conformal manifolds to the approach to conformal geometry via the canonical Cartan connection. We show that from any ambient metric that satisfies a weakening of…

We investigate the geometric properties of lightlike surfaces in the Minkowski space $\R^{2,1}$, using Cartan's method of moving frames to compute a complete set of local invariants for such surfaces. Using these invariants, we give a…

We show that on closed negatively curved Riemannian manifolds with simple length spectrum, the spectrum of the Bochner Laplacian determines both the isomorphism class of the vector bundle and the connection up to gauge under a low-rank…

The strictly gauge invariant approach to the construction of the analog of guiding center integrals of motion in spatially homogeneous/inhomogeneous constant magnetic fields is considered. With their help the gauge invariant equations,…
