RANDERS SPACES WITH SCALAR FLAG CURVATURE

Let(M, F) be an n-dimensional Randers space with scalar flag curvature. In this paper, we will introduce the definition of a weak Einstein manifold. We can prove that if(M, F) is a weak Einstein manifold, then the flag curvature is constant.     

Multi-parameter Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces associated with flag singular integrals

Though the theory of one-parameter Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces has been very well developed in the past decades, the multi-parameter counterpart of such a theory is still absent. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a theory of multi-parameter Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces using the discrete Littlewood-Paley-Stein analysis in the setting of implicit multi-parameter structure. It is motivated by the recent work of Han and Lu in which they established a satisfactory theory of multi-parameter Littlewood-Paley-Stein analysis and Hardy spaces associated with the flag singular integral operators studied by Muller-Ricci-Stein and Nagel-Ricci-Stein. We also prove the boundedness of flag singular integral operators on Triebel-Lizorkin space and Besov space. Our methods here can be applied to develop easily the theory of multi-parameter Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces in the pure product setting.     

On （α,β）-Metrics of Scalar Flag Curvature with Constant S-curvature

In this paper, we study （α,β）-metrics of scalar flag curvature on a manifold M of dimension n （n 〉 3）. Suppose that an （α,β）-metric F is not a Finsler metric of Randers type, that is, F ≠k1 V√α^2 ＋ k2β^2 ＋ k3β, where k1 〉 0, k2 and k3 are scalar functions on M. We prove that F is of scalar flag curvature and of vanishing S-curvature if metric. In this case, F is a locally Minkowski and only if the flag curvature K = 0 and F is a Berwald metric.     

Para-CR Structures of Codimension 2 on Tangent Bundles in Riemann–Finsler Geometry

We determine a 2-codimensional para-CR structure on the slit tangent bundle T0 M of a Finsler manifold（M,F） by imposing a condition regarding the almost paracomplex structure P associated to F when restricted to the structural distribution of a framed para-f-structure.This condition is satisfied when（M,F） is of scalar flag curvature（particularly constant） or if the Riemannian manifold（M,g） is of constant curvature.     

Haken 3-Manifolds in Small Covers*

The authors prove that a 3-dimensional small cover M is a Haken manifold if and only if M is aspherical or equivalently the underlying simple polytope is a flag polytope. In addition, they find that M being Haken is also equivalent to the existence of a Riemannian metric with non-positive sectional curvature on M.     

Some projectively flat (α,β)-metrics

In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics in the form , where is a Riemannian metric, form, and ∈ and k≠0 are constants. We obtain a sufficient and necessary condition for F to be locally projectively flat and give the non-trivial special solutions. Moreover, it is proved that such projectively flat Finsler metrics with the constant flag curvature must be locally Minkowskian.

Projective vector fields on Finsler manifolds

In this paper, we give the equation that characterizes projective vector fields on a Finsler manifold by the local coordinate. Moreover, we obtain a feature of the projective fields on the compact Finsler manifold with non-positive flag curvature and the non-existence of projective vector fields on the compact Finsler manifold with negative flag curvature. Furthermore, we deduce some expectable, but non-trivial relationships between geometric vector fields such as projective, affine, conformal, homothetic and Killing vector fields on a Finsler manifold.     

NATURALLY REDUCTIVE(α1, α2) METRICS

Letting F be a homogeneous(α₁, α₂) metric on the reductive homogeneous manifold G/H, we first characterize the natural reductiveness of F as a local f-product between naturally reductive Riemannian metrics. Second, we prove the equivalence among several properties of F for its mean Berwald curvature and S-curvature. Finally, we find an explicit flag curvature formula for G/H when F is naturally reductive.     

Variational results on flag manifolds: Harmonic maps, geodesics and Einstein metrics

In this paper, we study variational aspects for harmonic maps from M to several types of flag manifolds and the relationship with the rich Hermitian geometry of these manifolds. We consider maps that are harmonic with respect to any invariant metric on each flag manifold. They are called equiharmonic maps. We survey some recent results for the case where M is a Riemann surface or is one dimensional; i.e., we study equigeodesics on several types of flag manifolds. We also discuss some results concerning Einstein metrics on such manifolds.     

On harmonic maps between generalized flag manifolds

The theory of harmonic maps has been developed since the 1960's (see [2]). In recent years, some authors discussed the harmonicity of “homogeneous” maps between Riemannian homogeneous spaces using the theory of Lie groups. LetG andG′ be compact Lie groups,H andH′ their closed subgroups respectively. Assume that a homomorphism θ:G→G′ mapsH intoH′; then there exists an induced mapf _θ:G/H→G′/H′. M.A. Guest gave a necessary and sufficient condition for such a map to be harmonic, whenG/H andG′/H′ are generalized flag manifolds,H=T is a maximal torus andG′ is a unitary group; and he gave some interesting examples (see [3]). We generalize his results to the case of general generalized flag manifoldsG/H, i.e.H is a centralizer of a torus, and give some new examples of harmonic maps.

Equivalence of Mirror Families Constructed from Toric Degenerations of Flag Varieties

Batyrev et al. constructed a family of Calabi–Yau varieties using small toric degenerations of the full flag variety G/B. They conjecture this family to be mirror to generic anticanonical hypersurfaces in G/B. Recently, Alexeev and Brion, as a part of their work on toric degenerations of spherical varieties, have constructed many degenerations of G/B. For any such degeneration we construct a family of varieties, which we prove coincides with Batyrev’s in the small case. We prove that any two such families are birational, thus proving that mirror families are independent of the choice of degeneration. The birational maps involved are closely related to Berenstein and Zelevinsky’s geometric lifting of tropical maps to maps between totally positive varieties.     

Special Lagrangian fibrations on the flag variety <Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis><Superscript>3</Superscript>

We propose a construction of a Lagrangian torus fibration of the full flag variety in ℂ ³ . In contrast to the classical fibration obtained from the Gelfand-Zeitlin system, the proposed fibration is special Lagrangian.     

Gelfand�CTsetlin algebras and cohomology rings of Laumon spaces

Laumon moduli spaces are certain smooth closures of the moduli spaces of maps from the projective line to the flag variety of GL _n . We calculate the equivariant cohomology rings of the Laumon moduli spaces in terms of Gelfand–Tsetlin subalgebra of U(gl _n ) and formulate a conjectural answer for the small quantum cohomology rings in terms of certain commutative shift of argument subalgebras of U(gl _n ).     

Space of <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript>-smooth skew products of maps of an interval

Using the notions of an Ω-function and of functions suitable for an Ω-function, we show that the space of C ¹ -smooth skew products of maps of an interval such that the quotient map of each is Ω-stable in the space of C ¹ -smooth maps of a closed interval into itself and has a type ≻ 2 ^∞ (i.e., contains a periodic orbit with the period not equal to a power of 2) can be represented as a union of four nonempty pairwise nonintersecting subspaces. We give examples of maps belonging to each of the identified subspaces.     

On the metric properties of multimodal interval maps and <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript> density of Axiom A

In this paper, we shall prove that Axiom A maps are dense in the space of C² interval maps (endowed with the C² topology). As a step of the proof, we shall prove real and complex a priori bounds for (first return maps to certain small neighborhoods of the critical points of) real analytic multimodal interval maps with non-degenerate critical points. We shall also discuss rigidity for interval maps without large bounds. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000) Primary 37E05; Secondary 37F25     

Restriction varieties and geometric branching rules

This paper develops a new method for studying the cohomology of orthogonal flag varieties. Restriction varieties are subvarieties of orthogonal flag varieties defined by rank conditions with respect to (not necessarily isotropic) flags. They interpolate between Schubert varieties in orthogonal flag varieties and the restrictions of general Schubert varieties in ordinary flag varieties. We give a positive, geometric rule for calculating their cohomology classes, obtaining a branching rule for Schubert calculus for the inclusion of the orthogonal flag varieties in Type A flag varieties. Our rule, in addition to being an essential step in finding a Littlewood–Richardson rule, has applications to computing the moment polytopes of the inclusion of SO(n) in SU(n), the asymptotic of the restrictions of representations of SL(n) to SO(n) and the classes of the moduli spaces of rank two vector bundles with fixed odd determinant on hyperelliptic curves. Furthermore, for odd orthogonal flag varieties, we obtain an algorithm for expressing a Schubert cycle in terms of restrictions of Schubert cycles of Type A flag varieties, thereby giving a geometric (though not positive) algorithm for multiplying any two Schubert cycles.     

Flag bundles,Chern classes and natural lifts

Summary The (total) Chern class of any incomplete flag bundle is determined, thus generalising those found for the complete flag bundle in [3] and for the projective bundle in [1, I] and [6]. We also generalise a formula of D. B. Scott in [4] to any incomplete flag bundle. Entrata in Redazione il 7 settembre 1976.     

Higher generation subgroup sets and the $ \Sigma $-invariants of graph groups

We present a general condition, based on the idea of n-generating subgroup sets, which implies that a given character represents a point in the homotopical or homological -invariants of the group G. Let be a finite simplicial graph, the flag complex induced by , and the graph group, or 'right angled Artin group', defined by . We use our result on n-generating subgroup sets to describe the homotopical and homological -invariants of in terms of the topology of subcomplexes of . In particular, this work determines the finiteness properties of kernels of maps from graph groups to abelian groups. This is the first complete computation of the -invariants for a family of groups whose higher invariants are not determined - either implicitly or explicitly - by ¹. Received: October 18, 1996
