The geodesics for a sub-Riemannian metric on a three-dimensional contact manifold $M$ form a 1-parameter family of curves along each contact direction. However, a collection of such contact curves on $M$, locally equivalent to the solutions…

Two metrics on a manifold are geodesically equivalent if sets of their unparameterized geodesics coincide. In this paper we show that if two left $G$-invariant metrics of arbitrary signature on homogenous space $G/H$ are geodesically…

The purpose of this paper is to study reducibility properties in Sasakian geometry. First we give the Sasaki version of the de Rham Decomposition Theorem; however, we need a mild technical assumption on the Sasaki automorphism group which…

Let $G$ be a simply-connected semisimple compact Lie group, $X$ a compact K\"ahler manifold homogeneous under $G$, and $L$ a negative $G$-equivariant holomorphic line bundle over $X$. We prove that all $G$-invariant K\"ahler metrics on the…

In this paper we provide an analytical procedure for explicit calculation of the left and right invariant vector fields and one-forms on SU(N) manifold. The calculations are based on the coset parametrization of SU(N) group. The results…

A vector field on a Riemannian manifold is called geodesic if its integral curves are reparametrized geodesics. We classify compact K\"ahler manifolds admitting nontrivial real-holomorphic geodesic gradient vector fields that satisfy an…

It is known that a connected and simply-connected Lie group admits only one left-invariant Riemannian metric up to scaling and isometry if and only if it is isomorphic to the Euclidean space, the Lie group of the real hyperbolic space, or…
