In this paper we consider the product of two complex Cartan manifolds, the outcome being a class of product complex Cartan spaces. Then, we study the relationships between the geometric objects of a product complex Cartan space and its components, (e.g. Chern-Cartan complex nonlinear connection, Cartan tensors). By means of these, we establish the necessary and sufficient conditions under which...

a cartan manifold is a smooth manifold m whose slit cotangent bundle 0t *m is endowed with a regularhamiltonian k which is positively homogeneous of degree 2 in momenta. the hamiltonian k defines a (pseudo)-riemannian metric ij g in the vertical bundle over 0 t *m and using it, a sasaki type metric on 0 t *m is constructed. a natural almost complex structure is also defined by k on 0 t *m in su...

According to J. Feldman and C. Moore’s wellknown theorem on Cartan subalgebras, a variant of the group measure space construction gives an equivalence of categories between twisted countable standard measured equivalence relations and Cartan pairs, i.e., a von Neumann algebra (on a separable Hilbert space) together with a Cartan subalgebra. A. Kumjian gave a C∗-algebraic analogue of this theore...

In this paper we introduce a reference along a null curve in an n-dimensional Lorentzian space with the minimun number of curvatures. That reference generalizes the reference of Bonnor for null curves in Minkowski space-time and it is called the Cartan frame of the curve. The associated curvature functions are called the Cartan curvatures of the curve. We characterize the null helices (that is,...

In this paper, we study the Cartan space with some (α, β) metrics, in particular Randers metric admitting h-metrical d-connection. Further, we show that the condition for Cartan space with Randers metric to be locally Minkowski and Conformally flat. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 53B40, 53C60

Quaternionic vector mKDV equations are derived from the Cartan structure equation in the symmetric space n =Sp(n+ 1)/Sp(1)×Sp(n). The derivation of the soliton hierarchy utilizes a moving parallel frame and a Cartan connection 1-form ω related to the Cartan geometry on n modelled on (spn+1, sp1 × spn). The integrability structure is shown to be geometrically encoded by a Poisson– Nijenhuis stru...
