Conformal 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 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 کاملBi-invariant Means on Lie Groups with Cartan-Schouten Connections
In computational anatomy, one needs to perform statistics on shapes and transformations, and to transport these statistics from one geometry (e.g. a given subject) to another (e.g. the template). The geometric structure that appeared to be the best suited so far was the Riemannian setting. The statistical Riemannian framework was indeed pretty well developped for finite-dimensional manifolds an...
متن کاملNew metrics on free groups
We define some new metrics on free groups and obtain a class of Polish groups by taking appropriate metric completions so that every Polish group is the quotient group of some one in the class. Moreover, we show that the resulting groups can be taken to be Π3 Polishable subgroups of the infinite permutation group S∞. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملBi-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...
