In this paper, we give a novel abstract description of Szabo’s polycategories. We use the theory of double clubs – a generalisation of Kelly’s theory of clubs to ‘pseudo’ (or ‘weak’) double categories – to construct a pseudo-distributive law of the free symmetric strict monoidal category pseudocomonad onMod over itself qua pseudomonad, and show that monads in the ‘two-sided Kleisli bicategory’ ...

We study submanifolds of a Riemannian manifold with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection. We prove that the induced connection is also a semi-symmetric non-metric connection. We consider the total geodesicness, total umbilicity and the minimality of a submanifold of a Riemannian manifold with the semi-symmetric non-metric connection. We have obtained the Gauss, Codazzi and Ricci equations wit...

A symmetric space is a Riemannian manifold that is “symmetric” about each of its points: for each p ∈M there is an isometry σp of M such that (σp)∗ = −I on TpM . Symmetric spaces and their local versions were studied and classified by E.Cartan in the 1920’s. In 1980 D.Ferus [F2] introduced the concept of symmetric submanifolds of Euclidean space: A submanifold M of R is a symmetric submanifold ...

In his survey paper [4], P. A. Griffiths conjectured (§9.2) the existence of a partial compactification for the arithmetic quotients of period matrix domains. In this paper we want to announce some results concerning the topological aspects of this conjecture for the case of the periods of 2-forms on a polarized Hodge manifold V. The period matrix domain D of all possible period matrices for th...

In a Riemannian manifold, the existence of a new connection is proved. In particular cases, this connection reduces to several symmetric, semi-symmetric and quarter-symmetric connections; even some of them are not introduced so far. We also find formula for curvature tensor of this new connection. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 53B15.

Let SMC denote the 2-category with objects small symmetric monoidal categories, 1cells symmetric monoidal functors and 2-cells monoidal natural transformations. It is shown that the category quotient of SMC by the congruence generated by its 2-cells is symmetric monoidal closed. 1 Summary of results Thomason’s famous result claims that symmetric monoidal categories model all connective spectra ...
