Riemannian Geometry over different Normed Division Algebras

چکیده
We develop a unifed theory to study geometry of manifolds with different holonomy groups. They are classified by (1) real, complex, quaternion or octonion number they are defined over and (2) being special or not. Specialty is an orientation with respect to the corresponding normed algebra A. For example, special Riemannian A-manifolds are oriented Riemannian, Calabi-Yau, Hyperkähler and G2-manifolds respectively. For vector bundles over such manifolds, we introduce (special) A-connections. They include holomorphic, Hermitian Yang-Mills, Anti-Self-Dual and DonaldsonThomas connections. Similarly we introduce (special) 12A-Lagrangian submanifolds as maximally real submanifolds. They include (special) Lagrangian, complex Lagrangian, Cayley and (co-)associative submanifolds. We also discuss geometric dualities from this viewpoint: Fourier transformations on A-geometry for flat tori and a conjectural SYZ mirror transformation from (special) A-geometry to (special) 12A-Lagrangian geometry on mirror special A-manifolds.

A 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. ...
متن کاملTfHE OCTONIONS
The octonions are the largest of the four normed division algebras. While somewhat neglected due to their nonassociativity, they stand at the crossroads of many interesting fields of mathematics. Here we describe them and their relation to Clifford algebras and spinors, Bott periodicity, projective and Lorentzian geometry, Jordan algebras, and the exceptional Lie groups. We also touch upon thei...
متن کاملON SELBERG-TYPE SQUARE MATRICES INTEGRALS
In this paper we consider Selberg-type square matrices integrals with focus on Kummer-beta types I & II integrals. For generality of the results for real normed division algebras, the generalized matrix variate Kummer-beta types I & II are defined under the abstract algebra. Then Selberg-type integrals are calculated under orthogonal transformations.

where multiplication is denoted by juxtaposition; note the absence of associativity. A division algebra is a nontrivial algebra in which division is possible: for any a ∈ V and any nonzero b ∈ V , there exists precisely one element x with a = bx and precisely one element y with a = yb. A normed division algebra is a division algebra with a norm ||·|| satisfying ||xy|| = ||x|| ||y||. There are p...
