Conformal holonomy of bi-invariant metrics

Conformal Holonomy of Bi-invariant Metrics

We discuss in this paper the conformal geometry of bi-invariant metrics on compact semisimple Lie groups. For this purpose we develop a conformal Cartan calculus adapted to this problem. In particular, we derive an explicit formula for the holonomy algebra of the normal conformal Cartan connection of a bi-invariant metric. As an example, we apply this calculus to the group SO(4). Its conformal ...

Gromov Hyperbolicity of Certain Conformal Invariant Metrics

The unit ball B is shown to be Gromov hyperbolic with respect to the Ferrand metric λBn and the modulus metric μBn , and dimension dependent upper bounds for the Gromov delta are obtained. In the two-dimensional case Gromov hyperbolicity is proved for all simply connected domains G. For λG also the case G = R n \ {0} is studied.

Bi-invariant Metrics on the Group of Symplectomorphisms

This paper studies the extension of the Hofer metric and general Finsler metrics on the Hamiltonian symplectomorphism group Ham(M,ω) to the identity component Symp0(M,ω) of the symplectomorphism group. In particular, we prove that the Hofer metric on Ham(M,ω) does not extend to a bi-invariant metric on Symp0(M,ω) for many symplectic manifolds. We also show that for the torus T2n with the standa...

On conformal transformation of special curvature of Kropina metrics

      An important class of Finsler metric is named Kropina metrics which is defined by Riemannian metric α and 1-form β  which have many applications in physic, magnetic field and dynamic systems. In this paper, conformal transformations of χ-curvature and H-curvature of Kropina metrics are studied and the conditions that preserve this quantities are investigated. Also it is shown that in the ...
