A 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...
متن کاملLeft Invariant Contact Structures on Lie Groups
A result from Gromov ensures the existence of a contact structure on any connected non-compact odd dimensional Lie group. But in general such structures are not invariant under left translations. The problem of finding which Lie groups admit a left invariant contact structure (contact Lie groups), is then still wide open. We perform a ‘contactization’ method to construct, in every odd dimension...

We classify the left-invariant metrics with nonnegative sectional curvature on SO(3) and U(2).
متن کاملTechniques for Classifying Nonnegatively Curved Left-invariant Metrics on Compact Lie Groups
We provide techniques for studying the nonnegatively curved leftinvariant metrics on a compact Lie group. For “straight” paths of left-invariant metrics starting at bi-invariant metrics and ending at nonnegatively curved metrics, we deduce a nonnegativity property of the initial derivative of curvature. We apply this result to obtain a partial classification of the nonnegatively curved left-inv...
متن کاملCurvatures of Sobolev Metrics on Diffeomorphism Groups
Many conservative partial differential equations correspond to geodesic equations on groups of diffeomorphisms. Stability of their solutions can be studied by examining sectional curvature of these groups: negative curvature in all sections implies exponential growth of perturbations and hence suggests instability, while positive curvature suggests stability. In the first part of the paper we s...
