This article classifies closed G2-structures such that the induced metric is conformally flat. It is shown that any closed G2-structure with conformally flat metric is locally equivalent to one of three explicit examples. In particular, it…
A common criterion in the design of finite Hilbert space frames is minimal coherence, as this leads to error reduction in various signal processing applications. Frames that achieve minimal coherence relative to all unit-norm frames are…
It is understood now that all projective (and conformal) invariants of Riemannian metrics can be found by a transparent construction based on representation theory. So this article with a partial and quite cumbersome construction of…
Homotopy is an important feature of associative and Jordan algebraic structures: such structures always come in families whose members need not be isomorphic among other, but still share many important properties. One may regard homotopy as…
Roughly speaking, let us say that a map between metric spaces is large scale conformal if it maps packings by large balls to large quasi-balls with limited overlaps. This quasi-isometry invariant notion makes sense for finitely generated…
Differential completions and compactifications of differential spaces are introduced and investigated. The existence of the maximal differential completion and the maximal differential compactification is proved. A sufficient condition for…
This is a version of a part of the book ``Transformations of Grassman Spaces'' (in progress). We study transformations of Grassman spaces preserving certain geometrical constructions related to buildings. The next part will be devoted to…
We will pursue a way of building up an algebraic structure that involves, in a mathematical abstract way, the well known Grassmann variables. The problem arises when we tried to understand the grassmannian polynomial expansion on the scope…
The present paper is devoted to questions located at the junction of the theory of space quasiconformal mappings and Riemannian surfaces. Theorems on local behavior of one class of open discrete mappings with unbounded characteristic of…
Let $\overline{M}^{n+1}$ be a semi-Riemannian manifold of constant sectional curvature, and endowed with a conformal vector field . Consider a Riemannian manifold $M^n$, isometrically immersed into $\overline{M}^{n+1}$. With these…
The conformal Fefferman-Graham ambient metric construction is one of the most fundamental constructions in conformal geometry. It embeds a manifold with a conformal structure into a pseudo-Riemannian manifold whose Ricci tensor vanishes up…
A 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold equipped with a circulant structure, which is an isometry with respect to the metric and its fourth power is the identity, is considered. The almost product manifold associated with the considered…
A natural metric on the space of all almost hermitian structures on a given manifold is investigated.
The characteristic connection of an almost hermitian structure is a hermitian connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion. The case of parallel torsion in dimension six is of particular interest. In this work, we give a full…
We exhibit isomorphisms of Grassmann spaces and their relationship with collineations and embeddings of the underlying projective spaces.
This article is concerned with causal structures, which are defined as a field of tangentially non-degenerate projective hypersurfaces in the projectivized tangent bundle of a manifold. The local equivalence problem of causal structures on…
We formulate a notion of "geometric reductivity" in an abstract categorical setting which we refer to as adequacy. The main theorem states that the adequacy condition implies that the ring of invariants is finitely generated. This result…
The aim of the present paper is to establish a global theory of conformal changes in Finsler geometry. Under this change, we obtain the relationships between the most important geometric objects associated to $(M,L)$ and the corresponding…
An intrinsic definition in terms of conformal capacity is proposed for the conformal type of a Carnot--Carath\'eodory space (parabolic or hyperbolic). Geometric criteria of conformal type are presented. They are closely related to the…
We extend the Newlander-Nirenberg theorem to manifolds with almost complex structures that have somewhat less than Lipschitz regularity. We also discuss the regularity of local holomorphic coordinates in the integrable case, with particular…
