Lagrange Geometry on Tangent Manifolds
Lagrange geometry is the geometry of the tensor field defined by the fiberwise Hessian of a nondegenerate Lagrangian function on the total space of a tangent bundle. Finsler geometry is the geometrically most interesting case of Lagrange geometry. In this paper, we study a generalization which consists of replacing the tangent bundle by a general tangent manifold, and the Lagrangian by a family...
متن کاملPin Structures on Low–dimensional Manifolds
Pin structures on vector bundles are the natural generalization of Spin structures to the case of nonoriented bundles. Spin(n) is the central Z/2Z extension (or double cover) of SO(n) and Pin−(n) and Pin(n) are two different central extensions of O(n), although they are topologically the same. The obstruction to putting a Spin structure on a bundle ξ (= R → E → B) is w2(ξ) H(B;Z/2Z); for Pin it...
متن کاملSecond Order Tangent Bundles of Infinite Dimensional Manifolds
The second order tangent bundle T M of a smooth manifold M consists of the equivalent classes of curves on M that agree up to their acceleration. It is known [1] that in the case of a finite n-dimensional manifold M , T M becomes a vector bundle over M if and only if M is endowed with a linear connection. Here we extend this result to M modeled on an arbitrarily chosen Banach space and more gen...
متن کاملManifolds with Multiplication on the Tangent Sheaf
This talk reviews the current state of the theory of F–(super)manifolds (M, ◦), first defined in [HeMa] and further developed in [He], [Ma2], [Me1]. Here ◦ is an OM–bilinear multiplication on the tangent sheaf TM , satisfying an integrability condition. F–manifolds and compatible flat structures on them furnish a useful weakening of Dubrovin’s Frobenius structure which naturally arises in the q...
متن کاملNonlinear Connections and Semisprays on Tangent Manifolds
The well–known notions from tangent bundle geometry, like nonlinear connections and semisprays, are extended to bundle–type tangent manifolds. Also, new objects interesting from a dynamical point of view, like symmetries of nonlinear connections, are introduced. AMS Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 58A30, 34A26, 37C10, 53C15
