Rank and k-nullity of contact manifolds

چکیده

We prove that the dimension of the 1-nullity distributionN(1) on a closed Sasakianmanifold M of rank l is at least equal to 2l−1 provided thatM has an isolated closed characteristic. The result is then used to provide some examples ofK-contact manifolds which are not Sasakian. On a closed, 2n+ 1-dimensional Sasakian manifold of positive bisectional curvature, we show that either the dimension of N(1) is less than or equal to n+1 or N(1) is the entire tangent bundle TM . In the latter case, the Sasakian manifold M is isometric to a quotient of the Euclidean sphere under a finite group of isometries. We also point out some interactions between k-nullity, Weinstein conjecture, and minimal unit vector fields.

On the k-nullity foliations in Finsler geometry

Here, a Finsler manifold $(M,F)$ is considered with corresponding curvature tensor, regarded as $2$-forms on the bundle of non-zero tangent vectors. Certain subspaces of the tangent spaces of $M$ determined by the curvature are introduced and called $k$-nullity foliations of the curvature operator. It is shown that if the dimension of foliation is constant, then the distribution is involutive...

On 3-dimensional Almost Kenmotsu Manifolds Admitting Certain Nullity Distribution

The aim of this paper is to characterize 3-dimensional almost Kenmotsu manifolds with ξ belonging to the (k, μ)′-nullity distribution and h′ 6= 0 satisfying certain geometric conditions. Finally, we give an example to verify some results.

Generic maximum nullity of a graph

For a graph G of order n, the maximum nullity of G is defined to be the largest possible nullity over all real symmetric n × n matrices A whose (i, j)th entry (for i 6= j) is nonzero whenever {i, j} is an edge in G and is zero otherwise. Maximum nullity and the related parameter minimum rank of the same set of matrices have been studied extensively. A new parameter, generic maximum nullity, is ...

On Contact Metric R-Harmonic Manifolds

In this paper we consider contact metric R-harmonic manifolds M with ξ belonging to (κ, μ)-nullity distribution. In this context we have κ ≤ 1. If κ < 1, then M is either locally isometric to the product E × S(4), or locally isometric to E(2) (the group of the rigid motions of the Euclidean 2-space). If κ = 1, then M is an Einstein-Sasakian manifold. Mathematics Subject Classification: 53C05, 5...
