Submanifold averaging in riemannian and symplectic geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a construction to obtain canonically an “isotropic average” of given C-close isotropic submanifolds of a symplectic manifold. To do so we use an improvement of Weinstein’s submanifold averaging theorem (obtained in collaboration with H. Karcher) and apply “Moser’s trick”. We also present an application to Hamiltonian group actions.

Umbilicity of (Space-Like) Submanifolds of Pseudo-Riemannian Space Forms
We study umbilic (space-like) submanifolds of pseudo-Riemannian space forms, then define totally semi-umbilic space-like submanifold of pseudo Euclidean space and relate this notion to umbilicity. Finally we give characterization of total semi-umbilicity for space-like submanifolds contained in pseudo sphere or pseudo hyperbolic space or the light cone.A pseudo-Riemannian submanifold M in (a...
متن کاملA Convergence Theorem for Riemannian Submanifolds
In this paper we study the convergence of Riemannian submanifolds. In particular, we prove that any sequence of closed submanifolds with bounded normal curvature and volume in a closed Riemannian manifold subconverge to a closed submanifold in the C1 ,Q topology. We also obtain some applications to irreducible homogeneous manifolds and pseudo-holomorphic curves in symplectic manifolds.

متن کاملForm Preserving Diffeomorphisms on Open Manifolds
It is well known that diffeomorphism groups play an important role in certain areas of mathematical physics, such as quantitative fluid dynamics and plasma physics, gauge theories and general Hamiltonian theory. Let (M, g) be a compact oriented Riemannian manifold and μ the corresponding volume element. Denote by D = Diff(M) the diffeomorphism group of M , completed in the r-Sobolev topology, a...

We consider a Hamiltonian setup (M, ω,H,L,Γ,P), where (M, ω) is a symplectic manifold, L is a distribution of Lagrangian subspaces in M, P a Lagrangian submanifold of M, H is a smooth time dependent Hamiltonian function on M and Γ : [a, b] 7→ M is an integral curve of the Hamiltonian flow ~ H starting at P . We do not require any convexity property of the Hamiltonian function H . Under the assu...
