چکیده
On extrinsic geometry of unit normal vector fields of Riemannian hyperfoliations. Abstract We consider a unit normal vector field of (local) hyperfoliation on a given Riemannian manifold as a submanifold in the unit tangent bundle with Sasaki metric. We give an explicit expression of the second fundamental form for this submanifold and a rather simple condition its totally geodesic property in the case of a totally umbilic hyperfoliation. A corresponding example shows the non-triviality of this condition. In the 2-dimensional case, we give a complete description of Riemannian mani-folds admitting a geodesic unit vector field with totally geodesic property.

We study the geometrical properties of a unit vector field on a Riemann-ian 2-manifold, considering the field as a local imbedding of the manifold into its tangent sphere bundle with the Sasaki metric. For the case of constant curvature K, we give a description of the totally geodesic unit vector fields for K = 0 and K = 1 and prove a non-existence result for K = 0, 1. We also found a family ξω...

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. ...

In this paper, we prove that a non-Riemannian isotropic Berwald metric or a non-Riemannian (α,β) -metric admits no concurrent vector fields. We also prove that an L-reducible Finsler metric admitting a concurrent vector field reduces to a Landsberg metric.In this paper, we prove that a non-Riemannian isotropic Berwald metric or a non-Riemannian (α,β) -metric admits no concurrent vector fi...

We consider vector fields X on a closed manifold M with rest points of Morse type. For such vector fields we define the property of exponential growth. A cohomology class ξ ∈ H(M ;R) which is Lyapunov for X defines counting functions for isolated instantons and closed trajectories. If X has exponential growth property we show, under a mild hypothesis generically satisfied, how these counting fu...
