چکیده

Characteristic numbers of compact hyper-Kähler manifolds are expressed in graphtheoretical form, considering them as a special case of the curvature invariants introduced by L. Rozansky and E. Witten. The appropriate graphs are generated by “wheels,” and the recently proved Wheeling theorem is used to give a formula for the L 2-norm of the curvature of an irreducible hyper-Kähler manifold in terms of the volume and Pontryagin numbers. The formula involves the multiplicative sequence that is the square root of the Â-polynomial.

On Stretch curvature of Finsler manifolds

In this paper, Finsler metrics with relatively non-negative (resp. non-positive), isotropic and constant stretch curvature are studied.  In particular, it is showed that every compact Finsler manifold with relatively non-positive (resp. non-negative) stretch curvature is a Landsberg metric. Also, it is proved that every  (α,β)-metric of non-zero constant flag curvature and non-zero relatively i...

Spin geometry of Kähler manifolds and the Hodge Laplacian on minimal Lagrangian submanifolds

From the existence of parallel spinor fields on CalabiYau, hyper-Kähler or complex flat manifolds, we deduce the existence of harmonic differential forms of different degrees on their minimal Lagrangian submanifolds. In particular, when the submanifolds are compact, we obtain sharp estimates on their Betti numbers. When the ambient manifold is Kähler-Einstein with positive scalar curvature, and...

Quaternionic Kähler Manifolds with Hermitian and Norden Metrics

Almost hypercomplex manifolds with Hermitian and Norden metrics and more specially the corresponding quaternionic Kähler manifolds are considered. Some necessary and sufficient conditions the investigated manifolds be isotropic hyper-Kählerian and flat are found. It is proved that the quaternionic Kähler manifolds with the considered metric structure are Einstein for dimension at least 8. The c...

On the Curvature Properties of Real Time-like Hypersurfaces of Kähler Manifolds with Norden Metric

A type of almost contact hypersurfaces with Norden metric of a Kähler manifold with Norden metric is considered. The curvature tensor and the special sectional curvatures are characterized. The canonical connection on such manifolds is studied and the form of the corresponding Kähler curvature tensor is obtained. Some curvature properties of the manifolds belonging to the widest integrable main...

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...
