A characterization of holonomy invariant functions on tangent bundles
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the holonomy invariance of a function on the tangent bundle of a manifold, together with very mild regularity conditions on the function, is equivalent to the existence of local parallelisms compatible with the function in a natural way. Thus, in particular, we obtain a characterization of generalized Berwald manifolds. We also construct a simple example of a generalized Berwald manifold which is not Berwald. M.S.C. 2010: 53B05, 53B40.

$PI$-extending modules via nontrivial complex bundles and Abelian endomorphism rings
A module is said to be $PI$-extending provided that every projection invariant submodule is essential in a direct summand of the module. In this paper, we focus on direct summands and indecomposable decompositions of $PI$-extending modules. To this end, we provide several counter examples including the tangent bundles of complex spheres of dimensions bigger than or equal to 5 and certain hyper ...
متن کاملOn Infinitesimal Conformal Transformations of the Tangent Bundles with the Generalized Metric
Let be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, and be its tangent bundle with the lift metric. Then every infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformation induces an infinitesimal homothetic transformation on . Furthermore, the correspondence gives a homomorphism of the Lie algebra of infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformations on onto the Lie algebra of infinitesimal ...
متن کاملPara-Kahler tangent bundles of constant para-holomorphic sectional curvature
We characterize the natural diagonal almost product (locally product) structures on the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold. We obtain the conditions under which the tangent bundle endowed with the determined structure and with a metric of natural diagonal lift type is a Riemannian almost product (locally product) manifold, or an (almost) para-Hermitian manifold. We find the natural diagona...
متن کاملFine structure of hyperbolic
The main theme of the book Fine Structures of Hyperbolic Diffeomorphisms, by Pinto, Rand and Ferreira, is the rigidity and flexibility of two-dimensional diffeomorphisms on hyperbolic basic sets and properties of invariant measures that are related to the geometry of these invariant sets. In his remarkable article [23], Smale sets the foundations of the modern theory of dynamical systems. He de...
