Intrinsic torsion classes of Riemannian structures

چکیده
This article introduces the problem of finding intrinsic torsion varieties associated to G -structures on a fixed parallelizable Riemannian manifold. As an illustration, the intrinsic torsion varieties of orthogonal almost product structures are analysed on the Iwasawa manifold.

Toric moment mappings and Riemannian structures
We give an interpretation of the symplectic fibrations of coadjoint orbits for the group SU(4) in terms of the compatibility of Riemannian G -reductions in six dimensions. An analysis of moment polytopes associated to a standard Hamiltonian toric action on the coadjoint orbits highlights these relations. This theory leads to a geometrical application to intrinsic torsion classes of 6-dimensiona...
متن کاملThe Intrinsic Torsion of Su(3) and G2 Structures
Let G be a subgroup of SO(n). A G-structure on a smooth manifold M of dimension n induces a Riemannian metric g on M . The failure of the holonomy group of the Levi-Civita connection of g to reduce to G is measured by the so-called intrinsic torsion τ . It is known that the latter is a tensor which takes values at each point in T ∗ ⊗ g where T ∗ is the cotangent space and g is the orthogonal co...
متن کاملA Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...
متن کاملGeometric structures of vectorial type
We study geometric structures of W4-type in the sense of A. Gray on a Riemannian manifold. If the structure group G ⊂ SO(n) preserves a spinor or a non-degenerate differential form, its intrinsic torsion Γ is a closed 1-form (Proposition 2.1 and Theorem 2.1). Using a G-invariant spinor we prove a splitting theorem (Proposition 2.2). The latter result generalizes and unifies a recent result obta...
متن کاملNon-Kähler String Backgrounds and their Five Torsion Classes
We discuss the mathematical properties of six–dimensional non–Kähler manifolds which occur in the context of N = 1 supersymmetric heterotic and type IIA string compactifications with non–vanishing background H–field. The intrinsic torsion of the associated SU(3) structures falls into five different classes. For heterotic compactifications we present an explicit dictionary between the supersymme...
