Reduction of Vaisman structures in complex and quaternionic geometry

We consider locally conformal Kähler geometry as an equivariant (homothetic) Kähler geometry: a locally conformal Kähler manifold is, up to equivalence, a pair $(K,\Gamma )$, where $K$ is a Kähler manifold and $\Gamma$ is a discrete Lie group of biholomorphic homotheties acting freely and properly discontinuously. We define a new invariant of a locally conformal Kähler manifold $(K,\Gamma )$ as the rank of a natural quotient of $\Gamma$, and prove its invariance under reduction. This equivariant point of view leads to a proof that locally conformal Kähler reduction of compact Vaisman manifolds produces Vaisman manifolds and is equivalent to a Sasakian reduction. Moreover, we define locally conformal hyperKähler reduction as an equivariant version of hyperKähler reduction and in the compact case we show its equivalence with 3-Sasakian reduction. Finally, we show that locally conformal hyperKähler reduction induces hyperKähler with torsion (HKT) reduction of the associated HKT structure and the two reductions are compatible, even though not every HKT reduction comes from a locally conformal hyperKähler reduction.     

Local structure of Jacobi–Nijenhuis manifolds

After a brief review on the basic notions and the principal results concerning the Jacobi manifolds, the relationship between homogeneous Poisson manifolds and conformal Jacobi manifolds, and also the compatible Jacobi manifolds, we give a generalization of some of these results needed for the contents of this paper. We introduce the notion of Jacobi–Nijenhuis structure and we study the relation between Jacobi–Nijenhuis manifolds and homogeneous Poisson–Nijenhuis manifolds. We present a local classification of homogeneous Poisson–Nijenhuis manifolds and we establish some local models of Jacobi–Nijenhuis manifolds.

Slow integral manifolds for Lagrangian fluid dynamics in unsteady geophysical flows

The authors consider Lagrangian motion of fluid particles in unsteady gravity currents in geophysical flows. The vertical motion of fluid particles, especially the induced vertical mixing in these currents, is partially responsible for the ocean thermohaline circulation, and thus plays a role in the global climate dynamics.First, a reduced dynamic system for slow variables is derived for a nonautonomous multiscale system. The reduced system, still nonautonomous, is the original system restricted to a centre-like nonautonomous invariant manifold (so-called slow manifold) which holds slow motions of the system. An algorithm is also presented to obtain an approximation of the nonautonomous slow manifold. A novelty here is that the reduction principle applies to nonautonomous multiscale systems which satisfy conditions that are true only locally in space (as in many physical cases). This makes the reduction principle applicable to real physical systems.Then, this invariant manifold reduction principle is applied to an approximate conceptual Lagrangian model of gravity currents and a reduced nonautonomous system for slow vertical motion is obtained. This reduced system may be useful as a conceptual tractable tool for understanding some features of vertical mixing in unsteady gravity currents.     

The first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on Kähler manifolds

If M^2m is a closed Kähler spin manifold of positive scalar curvature R, then each eigenvalue λ of type r (r {1, …, [(m + 1)/2]}) of the Dirac operator D satisfies the inequality λ² ≥ rR₀/4r − 2, where R₀ is the minimum of R on M^2m. Hence, if the complex dimension m is odd (even) we have the estimation

for the first eigenvalue of D. In the paper is also considered the limiting case of the given inequalities. In the limiting case with m = 2r − 1 the manifold M^2m must be Einstein. The manifolds S², S² × S², S² × T², P³( ), F( ), P³( ) × T² and F( ³) × T², where F( ³) denotes the flag manifold and T² the 2-dimensional flat torus, are examples for which the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator realizes the limiting case of the corresponding inequality. In general, if M^2m is an example of odd complex dimension m, then M^2m × T² is an example of even complex dimension m + 1. The limiting case is characterized by the fact that here appear eigenspinors of D² which are Kählerian twistor-spinors.     

Laws of nature that define biological action and perception

We describe a physical approach to biological functions, with the emphasis on the motor and sensory functions. The approach assumes the existence of biology-specific laws of nature uniting salient physical variables and parameters. In contrast to movements in inanimate nature, actions are produced by changes in parameters of the corresponding laws of nature. For movements, parameters are associated with spatial referent coordinates (RCs) for the effectors. Stability of motor actions is ensured by the abundant mapping of RCs across hierarchical control levels. The sensory function is viewed as based on an interaction of efferent and afferent signals leading to an iso-perceptual manifold where percepts of salient sensory variables are stable. This approach offers novel interpretations for a variety of known neurophysiological and behavioral phenomena and makes a number of novel testable predictions. In particular, we discuss novel interpretations for the well-known phenomena of agonist-antagonist co-activation and vibration-induced illusions of both position and force. We also interpret results of several new experiments with unintentional force changes and with analysis of accuracy of perception of variables produced by elements of multi-element systems. Recently, this approach has been expanded to interpret motor disorders including spasticity and consequences of subcortical disorders (such as Parkinson's disease). We suggest that the approach can be developed for cognitive functions.

On curvature homogeneous three-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds

The aim of this paper is the study of three-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds whose Ricci tensor has three equal constant eigenvalues, whose associated eigenspace is two-dimensional. A complete local classification of this class of curvature homogeneous manifolds is presented. It turns out that, if the eigenvalue is zero, these are exactly the curvature homogeneous manifolds modelled on an indecomposable, non-irreducible Lorentzian symmetric space, which were first studied in Cahen etaal. (1990), and the techniques presented in this paper can therefore be applied to obtain a complete (local) classification of these manifolds, and to construct a number of new examples of such manifolds.

The modular automorphism group of a Poisson manifold

The modular flow of Poisson manifold is a 1-parameter group of automorphisms determined by the choice of a smooth density on the manifold. When the density is changed, the generator of the group changes by a hamiltonian vector field, so one has a 1-parameter group of “outer automorphisms” intrinsically attached to any Poisson manifold. The group is trivial if and only if the manifold admits a measure which is invariant under all hamiltonian flows.

The notion of modular flow in Poisson geometry is a classical limit of the notion of modular automorphism group in the theory of von Neumann algebras. In addition, the modular flow of a Poisson manifold is related to modular cohomology classes for associated Lie algebroids and symplectic groupoids. These objects have recently turned out to be important in Poincaré duality theory for Lie algebroids.     

A theorem on the first heteroclinic tangency in two-dimensional maps. Orientation-preserving cases

Using the properties of the Jordan curve, the following theorem on the heteroclinic tangency in orientation-preserving two-dimensional maps is proved: LetT :R ² R ² be a one-parameter family ofC ¹ diffeomorphisms andJ=DetDT be such that 0<J1 or 1J<. LetW _u ⁿ be the unstable manifold of a hyperbolicn-cycle andW _s ^m the stable manifold of a hyperbolicm-cycle. Suppose that for< _c ,W _u ⁿ andW _s ^m have no common points, and that for> _c ,W _u ⁿ andW s/m have a transversal heteroclinic point. Then at= _c ,W _u ⁿ andW _s ^m are in the first asymptotic heteroclinic tangency except for the following three cases: (1)n=m; both cycles are without reflection. (2)m=2n; then- andm-cycles are with and without reflection, respectively; (3)n=2m; then- andm-cycles are without and with reflection, respectively.     

Degenerate Hermitian Manifolds

Tachyons in general relativity

The tachyonic version of the Schwarzschild (bradyonic) gravitational field within the framework of extended relativity is considered. The metric of a tachyonic black hole is obtained through superluminal transformations from a bradyonic metric. The extended space-time manifold of this geometry which includes both black and white tachyonic holes is analysed, and the differences between the tachyonic and bradyonic versions are noted. It is shown that the meanings of black holes, tachyons and bradyons depend on the character of the reference frame and are not absolute.     

Splitting of the ground state manifold of classical Heisenberg spins as couplings are varied

We construct clusters of classical Heisenberg spins with two-spin -type interactions for which the ground state manifold consists of disconnected pieces. We extend the construction to lattices and couplings for which the ground state manifold splits into an exponentially large number of disconnected pieces at a sharp point as the interaction strengths are varied with respect to each other. In one such lattice we construct, the number of disconnected pieces in the ground state manifold can be counted exactly.
