For description of the quantum dynamics on a curved group manifold the path integrals in a space of the group parameters is offered. The formalism is illustrated by the $H$-atom problem.

Let $M$ be a smooth, compact manifold and let $\mathcal{N}_{\mu}$ denote the set of Riemannian metrics on $M$ with smooth volume density $\mu$. For a given $g_0\in \mathcal{N}_{\mu}$, we show that if $\dim(M)\ge 5$, then there exists an…

Let $M=G/H$ be a compact connected isotropy irreducible Riemannian homogeneous manifold, where $G$ is a compact Lie group (may be, disconnected) acting on $M$ by isometries. This class includes all compact irreducible Riemannian symmetric…

Given a $C^1$ function $\mathcal{H}$ defined in the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$, an $\mathcal{H}$-surface $M$ is a surface in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$ whose mean curvature $H_M$ satisfies $H_M(p)=\mathcal{H}(N_p)$, $p\in M$, where…

The Hopf sign conjecture states that a compact Riemannian 2d-manifold M of positive curvature has Euler characteristic X(M)>0 and that in the case of negative curvature X(M) (-1)^d >0. The Hopf product conjecture asks whether a positive…

Integration by parts formulae are given for a class of measures on the space of paths of a smooth manifold $M$ determined by the laws of degenerate diffusions. The mother of such formulae, on the path space of diffeomorphism group of $M$ is…

Let $M$ be a graph manifold containing a single JSJ torus $T$ and whose JSJ blocks are of the form $\Sigma \times S^1$, where $\Sigma$ is a compact orientable surface with boundary. We show that if $M$ does not admit a Riemannian metric of…

Given a compact Lie subgroup $G$ of the isometry group of a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with a Riemannian connection $\nabla,$ it is introduced a $G-$symmetrization process of a vector field of $M$ and it is proved that the critical…

Quantum mechanics in conical space is studied by the path integral method. It is shown that the curvature effect gives rise to an effective potential in the radial path integral. It is further shown that the radial path integral in conical…

The transformation of the path integral measure under the reduction procedure in the dynamical systems with a symmetry is considered. The investigation is carried out in the case of the Wiener--type path integrals that are used for…

In this article, we prove a series of integral formulae for a codimension-one foliated sub-Riemannian manifold, i.e., a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ equipped with a distribution ${\mathcal D}=T{\mathcal F}\oplus\,{\rm span}(N)$, where…

Given a *-homomorphism $\sigma: C(M)\to \mathscr{L}(\mathcal{H})$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ for a compact metric space $M$, a projection $P$ onto a subspace $\mathcal{P}$ in $\mathcal{H}$ is said to be essentially normal relative to…

We propose a new strong Riemannian metric on the manifold of (parametrized) embedded curves of regularity $H^s$, $s\in(3/2,2)$. We highlight its close relationship to the (generalized) tangent-point energies and employ it to show that this…

Let \((M^n,g)\) be a smooth closed Riemannian manifold of dimension \(n \ge 5\) with positive Yamabe invariant and semi-positive \(Q\)-curvature. We establish a precompactness result in the \(C^{\alpha}\)-H\"older topologie on the space of…

We study interpolation inequalities between H\"older Integral Probability Metrics (IPMs) in the case where the measures have densities on closed submanifolds. Precisely, it is shown that if two probability measures $\mu$ and $\mu^\star$…

We investigate the infinitesimal invariants of an immersed submanifold $\Sigma $ of a Klein geometry $M\cong G/H$, and in particular an invariant filtration of Lie algebroids over $\Sigma $. The invariants are derived from the logarithmic…

The singular set of a generic map $f: M\to F$ of a manifold $M$ of dimension $m\ge 2$ to an oriented surface $F$ is a closed smooth curve $\Sigma(f)$. We study the parity of the number of components of $\Sigma(f)$. The image $f(\Sigma)$ of…

The injectivity radius of a manifold is an important quantity, both from a theoretical point of view and in terms of numerical applications. It is the largest possible radius within which all geodesics are unique and length-minimizing. In…

Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold and ${\mathcal P}M$ be the space of all smooth paths on $M$. We describe geodesics on path space ${\mathcal P}M$. Normal neighbourhood structure on ${\mathcal P}M$ has been discussed. We identify paths on…

Let $M$ be a topological spherical space form, i.e. a smooth manifold whose universal cover is a homotopy sphere. We determine the number of path components of the space and moduli space of Riemannian metrics with positive scalar curvature…
