ACTION OF SEMISIMPLE ISOMERY GROUPS ON SOME RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS OF NONPOSITIVE CURVATURE
A manifold with a smooth action of a Lie group G is called G-manifold. In this paper we consider a complete Riemannian manifold M with the action of a closed and connected Lie subgroup G of the isometries. The dimension of the orbit space is called the cohomogeneity of the action. Manifolds having actions of cohomogeneity zero are called homogeneous. A classic theorem about Riemannian manifolds...
متن کاملMinimal Surfaces in Sub-riemannian Manifolds and Structure of Their Singular Sets in the (2, 3) Case
We study minimal surfaces in generic sub-Riemannian manifolds with sub-Riemannian structures of co-rank one. These surfaces can be defined as the critical points of the so-called horizontal area functional associated to the canonical horizontal area form. We derive the intrinsic equation in the general case and then consider in greater detail 2-dimensional surfaces in contact manifolds of dimen...
متن کاملClosed minimal surfaces of high Morse index in manifolds of negative curvature
We use Bott’s equivariant Morse theory to show that compact Riemannian three-manifolds with negative sectional curvature possess closed minimal surfaces of arbitrarily high Morse index. 1 Sources of noncompactness for parametrized minimal surfaces In this article, we apply the theory of parametrized two-dimensional minimal surfaces in a compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifold (M, 〈·, ·〉) to t...
متن کاملUnstable minimal surfaces of annulus type in manifolds
Unstable minimal surfaces are the unstable stationary points of the Dirichlet-Integral. In order to obtain unstable solutions, the method of the gradient flow together with the minimaxprinciple is generally used. The application of this method for minimal surfaces in the Euclidean spacce was presented in [St2]. We extend this theory for obtaining unstable minimal surfaces in Riemannian manifold...
متن کاملA Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...
