We study contact structures on nonnegatively-graded manifolds equipped with homological contact vector fields. In the degree 1 case, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between such structures (with fixed contact form) and…
In this paper we define a new category of almost complex riemannian 4- manifolds and discuss some basic properties of such pseudo symplectic manifolds. Some motivation based on the Seiberg - Witten theory is imposed.
We look at periodic Jacobi matrices on trees. We provide upper and lower bounds on the gap of such operators analogous to the well known gap in the spectrum of the Laplacian on the upper half-plane with hyperbolic metric. We make some…
We apply the quaternionic Jordan form to classify the hypercomplex nilpotent almost abelian Lie algebras in all dimensions and to carry out the complete classification of 12-dimensional hypercomplex almost abelian Lie algebras. Moreover, we…
In this paper, a link between $q$-difference equations, Jacobi operators and orthogonal polynomials is given. Replacing the variable $x$ by $ q^{-n}$ in a Sturm-Liouville $q$-difference equation we discovered the Jacobi operator. With…
In this paper, we have reintroduced a new approach to conformal geometry developed and presented in two previous papers, in which we show that all n-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian metrics are conformal to a flat n-dimensional manifold as…
Spectral properties of Jacobi operators $J$ are intimately related to an asymptotic behavior of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials $P_{n}(z)$ as $n\to\infty$. We study the case where the off-diagonal coefficients $a_{n}$ and,…
Orthogonal polynomials on the real line always satisfy a three-term recurrence relation. The recurrence coefficients determine a tridiagonal semi-infinite matrix (Jacobi matrix) which uniquely characterizes the orthogonal polynomials. We…
We study orthogonal polynomials with periodically modulated recurrence coefficients when $0$ lies on the hard edge of the spectrum of the corresponding periodic Jacobi matrix. In particular, we show that their orthogonality measure is…
We study higher-rank Radon transforms that take functions on $j$-dimensional totally geodesic submanifolds in the $n$-dimensional real constant curvature space to functions on similar submanifolds of dimension $k >j$. The corresponding dual…
In the present paper we study pseudo-Riemannian submanifolds which have 3-planar geodesic normal sections.We consider W-curves (helices) on pseudo-Riemannian submanifolds. Finally, we give neccessary and sufficient condition for a normal…
We study when the Jacobi operator associated to the Weyl conformal curvature tensor has constant eigenvalues on the bundle of unit spacelike or timelike tangent vectors. This leads to questions in the conformal geometry of pseudo-Riemannian…
For an arbitrary Hermitian period-$T$ Jacobi operator, we assume a perturbation by a Wigner-von Neumann type potential to devise subordinate solutions to the formal spectral equation for a (possibly infinite) real set, $S$, of the spectral…
The subject of this paper is a Jacobian, introduced by F. Lazzeri, (unpublished), associated to every compact oriented riemannian manifold of dimension twice an odd number. We start the investigation of Torelli type problems and Schottky…
Sub-Riemannian structures on odd-dimensional spheres respecting the Hopf fibration naturally appear in quantum mechanics. We study the curvature maps for such a sub-Riemannian structure and express them using the Riemannian curvature tensor…
Our goal is to find asymptotic formulas for orthonormal polynomials $P_{n}(z)$ with the recurrence coefficients slowly stabilizing as $n\to\infty$. To that end, we develop spectral theory of Jacobi operators with long-range coefficients and…
We define the notion of sub-Finsler geometry as a natural generalization of sub-Riemannian geometry with applications to optimal control theory. We compute a complete set of local invariants, geodesic equations, and the Jacobi operator for…
We study linear spaces of symmetric matrices whose reciprocal is also a linear space. These are Jordan algebras. We classify such algebras in low dimensions, and we study the associated Jordan loci in the Grassmannian.
The spectral properties of two special classes of Jacobi operators are studied. For the first class represented by the $2M$-dimensional real Jacobi matrices whose entries are symmetric with respect to the secondary diagonal, a new…
An operator $T$ is called a 3-isometry if there exists operators $B_1(T^*,T)$ and $B_2(T^*,T)$ such that \[Q(n)=T^{*n}T^n=1+nB_1(T^*,T)+n^2 B_2(T^*,T)\] for all natural numbers $n$. An operator $J$ is a Jordan operator of order $2$ if…
