We show that the index of a lightlike geodesic in a conformally standard stationary spacetime (M0 × R, g) is equal to the index of its spatial projection as a geodesic of a Finsler metric F on M0 associated to (M0×R, g). Moreover we obtain the Morse relations of lightlike geodesics connecting a point p to a curve γ(s) = (q0, s) by using Morse theory on the Finsler manifold (M0, F ). To this end...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of radical transversal screen Cauchy-Riemann (SCR)- lightlike submanifolds indefinite Sasakian manifolds giving characterization theorem with some nontrivial examples such submanifolds. Integrability conditions distributions D1, D2, D and D? on SCR-lightlike an manifold have been obtained. Further, obtain necessary sufficient for foliations determined by a...

We study the weighted ray transform of integrating functions on a Lorentzian manifold over lightlike geodesics. We prove support theorems if the manifold and the weight are analytic.

In [Ch1], Chern gives a generalization of projective geometry by considering foliations on the Grassman bundle of p-planes Gr(p, R) → R by p-dimensional submanifolds that are integrals of the canonical contact differential system. The equivalence method yields an sl(n + 1, R)valued Cartan connection whose curvature captures the geometry of such foliation. In the flat case, the space of leaves o...

Twenty years ago it was not obvious that subspace approximations would be such a successful representation for faces and other phenomena whose measurement-space manifolds exhibit clear nonlinearities. Now PCA is ubiquitous in computer vision and, although its globally linear view of the data manifold can be a liability as systems scale up, it is not obvious that one can reliably construct a bet...

We present a Weierstrass-type representation formula which locally represents every regular two-dimensional lightlike surface in Lorentz-Minkowski 4-Space $\mathbb{M}^4$ by three dual functions $(\rho,f,g)$ and generalizes the for surfaces $\mathbb{M}^3$. give necessary sufficient conditions on $\rho$, $f$, $g$ to be minimal, ruled or $l$-minimal. For surfaces, we itself ruled. Furthermore, res...

We consider a sequence of quantum states, $\rho_N$, associated with submanifold $\Lambda$ product two integral compact Kahler manifolds. show that, when is submanifold, then, in the semiclassical limit, these states are not entangled. discuss whether geometry (specifically being submanifold) has any relationship entanglement properties $\rho_N$.

In this paper we study curvature properties of semi - symmetric type of totally umbilical radical transversal lightlike hypersurfaces $(M,g)$ and $(M,widetilde g)$ of a K"ahler-Norden manifold $(overline M,overline J,overline g,overline { widetilde g})$ of constant totally real sectional curvatures $overline nu$ and $overline {widetilde nu}$ ($g$ and $widetilde g$ are the induced metrics on $M$...
