A rigidity theorem for the pair ${\cal q}{\Bbb C} P^n$ (complex hyperquadric, complex projective space)
1999
Given a compact Kahler manifold M of real dimension 2n, let P be either a compact complex hypersurface of M or a compact totally real submanifold of dimension n. Let \(\cal q\) (resp. \({\Bbb R} P^n\)) be the complex hyperquadric (resp. the totally geodesic real projective space) in the complex projective space \({\Bbb C} P^n\) of constant holomorphic sectional curvature 4\( \lambda \). We prove that if the Ricci and some (n-1)-Ricci curvatures of M (and, when P is complex, the mean absolute curvature of P) are bounded from below by some special constants and volume (P) / volume (M) \(\leq \) volume (\(\cal q\))/ volume \(({\Bbb C} P^n)\) (resp. \(\leq \) volume \(({\Bbb R} P^n)\) / volume …
Volume estimate for a cone with a submanifold as vertex
1992
We give some estimates for the volume of a cone with vertex a submanifold P of a Riemannian or Kaehler manifold M. The estimates are functions of bounds of the mean curvature of P and the sectional curvature of M. They are sharp on cones having a basis which is contained in a tubular hypersurface about P in a space form or in a complex space form.
Pappus type theorems for motions along a submanifold
2004
Abstract We study the volumes volume( D ) of a domain D and volume( C ) of a hypersurface C obtained by a motion along a submanifold P of a space form M n λ . We show: (a) volume( D ) depends only on the second fundamental form of P , whereas volume( C ) depends on all the i th fundamental forms of P , (b) when the domain that we move D 0 has its q -centre of mass on P , volume( D ) does not depend on the mean curvature of P , (c) when D 0 is q -symmetric, volume( D ) depends only on the intrinsic curvature tensor of P ; and (d) if the image of P by the ln of the motion (in a sense which is well-defined) is not contained in a hyperplane of the Lie algebra of SO ( n − q − d ), and C …
On the volume of unit vector fields on spaces of constant sectional curvature
2004
A unit vector field X on a Riemannian manifold determines a submanifold in the unit tangent bundle. The volume of X is the volume of this submanifold for the induced Sasaki metric. It is known that the parallel fields are the trivial minima.
On the structure of the similarity orbits of Jordan operators as analytic homogeneous manifolds
1989
For Jordan elementsJ in a topological algebraB with unite, an open groupB−1 of invertible elements and continuous inversion we consider the similarity orbitsS G (J)={gJg−1:g∈G} (G the groupB−1⋂{e+c:c∈I},I⊂B a bilateral continuous embedded topological ideal). We construct rational local cross sections to the conjugation mapping\(\pi ^J G \to S_G \left( J \right)\left( {\pi ^J \left( g \right) = gJg^{ - 1} } \right)\) and give to the orbitS G (J) the local structure of a rational manifold. Of particular interest is the caseB=L(H) (bounded linear operators on a separable Hilbert spaceH),I=B, for which we obtain the following: 1. If for a Hilbert space operator there exist norm continuous local…
Total curvatures of compact complex submanifolds in $$C/P^n$$
1995
LetM be a complex submanifold in\(C/P^n\). We define the total curvatures ofM and we get a local interpretation of them. Finally, we give a topological characterization for the total (non-absolute) curvature of complex hypersurfaces in\(C/P^n\).
The volume of geodesic balls and tubes about totally geodesic submanifolds in compact symmetric spaces
1997
AbstractLet M be a compact Riemannian symmetric space. We give an analytical expression for the area and volume functions of geodesic balls in M and for the area and volume functions of tubes around some totally geodesic submanifolds P of M. We plot the graphs of these functions for some compact irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank two.
Comparison theorems for the volume of a complex submanifold of a Kaehler manifold
1990
LetM be a Kaehler manifold of real dimension 2n with holomorphic sectional curvatureK H≥4λ and antiholomorphic Ricci curvatureρ A≥(2n−2)λ, andP is a complex hypersurface. We give a bound for the quotient (volume ofP)/(volume ofM) and prove that this bound is attained if and only ifP=C P n−1(λ) andM=C P n(λ). Moreover, we give some results on the volume of of tubes aboutP inM.
Generic Properties of Dynamical Systems
2006
The state of a concrete system (from physics, chemistry, ecology, or other sciences) is described using (finitely many, say n) observable quantities (e.g., positions and velocities for mechanical systems, population densities for echological systems, etc.). Hence, the state of a system may be represented as a point $x$ in a geometrical space $\mathbb R^n$. In many cases, the quantities describing the state are related, so that the phase space (space of all possible states) is a submanifold $M\subset \mathbb R^n$. The time evolution of the system is represented by a curve $x_t$, $t \in\mathbb R$ drawn on the phase space $M$, or by a sequence $x_n \in M$, $n \in\mathbb Z$, if we consider disc…
Geometric rigidity of a class of fractal sets
2017
We study geometric rigidity of a class of fractals, which is slightly larger than the collection of self-conformal sets. Namely, using a new method, we shall prove that a set of this class is contained in a smooth submanifold or is totally spread out. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
