Note on Vector Fields in Manifolds

Vector Fields on Manifolds

where n = dim M and 6» = ith Betti number of M ( = dim of Hi(M; Q)). Thus the geometric property of M having a nonzero vector field is expressed in terms of the algebraic invariant xM. We will discuss extensions of this idea to vector ^-fields, fields of ^-planes, and foliations of manifolds. All manifolds considered will be connected, smooth and without boundary; all maps will be continuous. F...

Harmonic-Killing vector fields on Kähler manifolds

In a previous paper we have considered the harmonicity of local infinitesimal transformations associated to a vector field on a (pseudo)-Riemannian manifold to characterise intrinsi-cally a class of vector fields that we have called harmonic-Killing vector fields. In this paper we extend this study to other properties, such as the pluriharmonicity and the α-pluriharmonicity (α harmonic 2-form) ...

On Concircular and Torse-forming Vector Fields on Compact Manifolds

In this paper we modify the theorem by E. Hopf and found results and conditions, on which concircular, convergent and torse-forming vector fields exist on (pseudo-) Riemannian spaces. These results are applied for conformal, geodesic and holomorphically projective mappings of special compact spaces without boundary.

A Note on Exponentially Nash G Manifolds and Vector Bundles

Two-dimensional global manifolds of vector fields.

We describe an efficient algorithm for computing two-dimensional stable and unstable manifolds of three-dimensional vector fields. Larger and larger pieces of a manifold are grown until a sufficiently long piece is obtained. This allows one to study manifolds geometrically and obtain important features of dynamical behavior. For illustration, we compute the stable manifold of the origin spirall...
