CONVERGENCE IN METRIC DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY

Convergence in Metric Differential Geometry

We use geometric properties of Gromov-Hausdorff-convergence to present a way to construct rough but natural invariants of metric geometry.

Metric Connections in Projective Differential Geometry

We search for Riemannian metrics whose Levi-Civita connection belongs to a given projective class. Following Sinjukov and Mikeš, we show that such metrics correspond precisely to suitably positive solutions of a certain projectively invariant finite-type linear system of partial differential equations. Prolonging this system, we may reformulate these equations as defining covariant constant sec...

Special connections in almost paracontact metric geometry

‎Two types of properties for linear connections (natural and almost paracontact metric) are discussed in almost paracontact metric geometry with respect to four linear connections‎: ‎Levi-Civita‎, ‎canonical (Zamkovoy)‎, ‎Golab and generalized dual‎. ‎Their relationship is also analyzed with a special view towards their curvature‎. ‎The particular case of an almost paracosymplectic manifold giv...

The differential geometry of almost Hermitian almost contact metric submersions

Three types of Riemannian submersions whose total space is an almost Hermitian almost contact metric manifold are studied. The study is focused on fundamental properties and the transference of structures. 1. Introduction. In this paper, we discuss some geometric properties of Riemannian submersions whose total space is an almost Hermitian almost contact metric manifold. If the base space is an...
