Bi-invariant Metrics on the Group of Symplectomorphisms
This paper studies the extension of the Hofer metric and general Finsler metrics on the Hamiltonian symplectomorphism group Ham(M,ω) to the identity component Symp0(M,ω) of the symplectomorphism group. In particular, we prove that the Hofer metric on Ham(M,ω) does not extend to a bi-invariant metric on Symp0(M,ω) for many symplectic manifolds. We also show that for the torus T2n with the standa...
متن کاملComputing Bi-Invariant Pseudo-Metrics on Lie Groups for Consistent Statistics
In computational anatomy, organ’s shapes are often modeled as deformations of a reference shape, i.e., as elements of a Lie group. To analyze the variability of the human anatomy in this framework, we need to perform statistics on Lie groups. A Lie group is a manifold with a consistent group structure. Statistics on Riemannian manifolds have been well studied, but to use the statistical Riemann...
متن کاملConformal Holonomy of Bi-invariant Metrics
We discuss in this paper the conformal geometry of bi-invariant metrics on compact semisimple Lie groups. For this purpose we develop a conformal Cartan calculus adapted to this problem. In particular, we derive an explicit formula for the holonomy algebra of the normal conformal Cartan connection of a bi-invariant metric. As an example, we apply this calculus to the group SO(4). Its conformal ...
متن کاملMaximal Tori in Contactomorphism Groups
I describe a general scheme which associates conjugacy classes of tori in the contactomorphism group to transverse almost complex structures on a compact contact manifold. Moreover, to tori of Reeb type whose Lie algebra contains a Reeb vector field one can associate a Sasaki cone. Thus, for contact structures D of K-contact type one obtains a configuration of Sasaki cones called a bouquet such...
متن کاملA remark on left invariant metrics on compact Lie groups
The investigation of manifolds with non-negative sectional curvature is one of the classical fields of study in global Riemannian geometry. While there are few known obstruction for a closed manifold to admit metrics of non-negative sectional curvature, there are relatively few known examples and general construction methods of such manifolds (see [Z] for a detailed survey). In this context, it...
