Let $M$ be a submanifold of a Riemannian manifold $(N,g)$. $M$ induces a subbundle $O(M,N)$ of adapted frames over $M$ of the bundle of orthonormal frames $O(N)$. Riemannian metric $g$ induces natural metric on $O(N)$. We study the geometry…

For every diffeomorphism $\varphi:M\to N$ between 3--dimensional Riemannian manifolds $M$ and $N$ there are in general locally two 2--dimensional distributions $D_{\pm}$ such that $\varphi$ is conformal on both of them. We state necessary…

Criteria for a diffeomorphism of a smooth manifold $M$ to be lifted to a linear automorphism of a given real vector bundle $p\colon V\rightarrow M$, are stated. Examples are included and the metric and complex vector-bundle cases are also…

We provide a general framework to study convergence properties of families of maps. For manifolds $M$ and $N$ where $M$ is equipped with a volume form $\mathcal{V}$ we consider families of maps in the collection $\{(\phi, B) : B \subset M,…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic mapping between compact complex manifolds. We give a criterion for $f$ to have {\it unobstructed deformations}, i.e. for the local moduli space of $f$ to be smooth: this says, roughly speaking, that the group of…

Kernel-based non-linear dimensionality reduction methods, such as Local Linear Embedding (LLE) and Laplacian Eigenmaps, rely heavily upon pairwise distances or similarity scores, with which one can construct and study a weighted graph…

This paper investigates the transfer of classical geometric structures from a smooth manifold $M$ to its Weil bundle $(M^\mathbf A, \tilde\pi_M, M)$ associated with a Weil algebra $\mathbf A$. We show that various structures including…

We show that given a harmonic map $\varphi$ from a Riemann surface to a classical compact simply connected inner symmetric space, there is a $J_2$-holomorphic twistor lift of $\varphi$ (or its negative) if and only if it is nilconformal. In…

Given compact Riemannian manifolds $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{N}$, a Riemannian covering $\pi : \smash{\widetilde{\mathcal{N}}} \to \mathcal{N}$ by a noncompact covering space $\smash{\widetilde{\mathcal{N}}}$, $1 < p < \infty$ and $0 < s…

We define harmonic maps between sub-Riemannian manifolds by generalizing known definitions for Riemannian manifolds. We establish conditions for when a horizontal map into a Lie group with a left-invariant metric structure is a harmonic…

We formalize the ``metric bundle'' viewpoint by defining, for any smooth $n$--manifold $M$, the open fiberwise cones $\mathcal{G}^{p,q}\subset S^2\Tstar M$ of nondegenerate symmetric bilinear forms with fixed signature $(p,q)$, and we…

In this paper, we address several interconnected problems in the theory of harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. First, we present necessary background and establish one of the main results of the paper: a criterion characterizing…

We describe the notion of a \emph{weighting} along a submanifold $N\subset M$, and explore its differential-geometric implications. This includes a detailed discussion of weighted normal bundles, weighted deformation spaces, and weighted…

We provide a natural generalization to submanifolds of the holographic method used to extract higher-order local invariants of both Riemannian and conformal embeddings, some of which depend on a choice of parallelization of the normal…

We consider the orthonormal frame bundle F(M) of a Riemannian manifold M. A construction of Sasaki defines a canonical Riemannian metric on F(M). We prove that for two closed Riemannian n-manifolds M and N, the frame bundles F(M) and F(N)…

Let $A$ be a diagonal linear operator on $\C^n$, with all eigenvalues satisfying $0<|\alpha_i|<1$, and $M = (\C^n\backslash 0)/<A>$ the corresponding Hopf manifold. We show that any stable holomorphic bundle on $M$ can be lifted to a…

We introduce the concept of Hypoelliptic Diffusion Maps (HDM), a framework generalizing Diffusion Maps in the context of manifold learning and dimensionality reduction. Standard non-linear dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., LLE,…

This paper bridges synthetic and classical differential geometry by investigating the metrizability and dynamics of Weil bundles. For a smooth, compact manifold \(M\) and a Weil algebra \(\mathbf{A}\), we prove that the manifold…

Suppose $TM\setminus \{0\}$ and $T\widetilde M\setminus\{0\}$ are slashed tangent bundles of two smooth manifolds $M$ and $\widetilde M$, respectively. In this paper we characterize those diffeomorphisms $F\colon TM\setminus\{0\} \to…

We show that if a non-degenerate PL map $f:N\to M$ lifts to a topological embedding in $M\times\mathbb R^k$ then it lifts to a PL embedding in there. We also show that if a stable smooth map $N^n\to M^m$, $m\ge n$, lifts to a topological…
