Some compatible Poisson structures and integrable bi-Hamiltonian systems on four dimensional and nilpotent six dimensional symplectic real Lie groups

We provide an alternative method for obtaining of compatible Poisson structures on Lie groups by means of the adjoint representations of Lie algebras. In this way we calculate some compatible Poisson structures on four dimensional and nilpotent six dimensional symplectic real Lie groups. Then using Magri-Morosi’s theorem we obtain new bi-Hamiltonian systems with four dimensional and nilpotent six dimensional symplectic real Lie groups as phase spaces.     

Natural star-products on symplectic manifolds and related quantum mechanical operators

In this paper is considered a problem of defining natural star-products on symplectic manifolds, admissible for quantization of classical Hamiltonian systems. First, a construction of a star-product on a cotangent bundle to an Euclidean configuration space is given with the use of a sequence of pair-wise commuting vector fields. The connection with a covariant representation of such a star-product is also presented. Then, an extension of the construction to symplectic manifolds over flat and non-flat pseudo-Riemannian configuration spaces is discussed. Finally, a coordinate free construction of related quantum mechanical operators from Hilbert space over respective configuration space is presented.     

The first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on locally reducible Riemannian manifolds

We prove a lower estimate for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on a compact locally reducible Riemannian spin manifold with positive scalar curvature. We determine also the universal covers of the manifolds on which the smallest possible eigenvalue is attained.     

Hamiltonian circle actions on symplectic manifolds and the signature

Let M be a symplectic manifold with a Hamiltonian circle action with isolated fixed points. We prove that σ (M) = b₀(M) − b₂(M) + b₄(M) − b₆(M) + … where σ (M) is the signature of M and b_i(M) is the ith Betti number of M.     

Invariant fourth root Finsler metrics on the Grassmannian manifolds

Fourth root metrics are a special and important class of Finsler metrics, which have been applied to physics. In this paper, we study invariant fourth root Finsler metrics on the Grassmannian manifolds SO(p+q)/SO(p)×SO(q)$SO(p+q)/SO\left(p\right)\times SO\left(q\right)$. By using the results from the theory of invariant polynomials of Lie groups, we obtain a complete classification of such metrics. Further, some invariant 2m$2m$-th root Finsler metrics are also given.     

A connection with parallel torsion on almost hypercomplex manifolds with Hermitian and anti-Hermitian metrics

Almost hypercomplex manifolds with Hermitian and anti-Hermitian metrics are considered. A linear connection D$D$ is introduced such that the structure of these manifolds is parallel with respect to D$D$. Of special interest is the class of the locally conformally equivalent manifolds of the manifolds with covariantly constant almost complex structures and the case when the torsion of D$D$ is D$D$-parallel. Curvature properties of these manifolds are studied. An example of 4-dimensional manifolds in the considered basic class is constructed and characterized.     

On the conformal geometry of transverse Riemann–Lorentz manifolds

Physical reasons suggested in [J.B. Hartle, S.W. Hawking, Wave function of the universe, Phys. Rev. D41 (1990) 1815–1834] for the Quantum Gravity Problem lead us to study type-changing metrics on a manifold. The most interesting cases are Transverse Riemann–Lorentz Manifolds. Here we study the conformal geometry of such manifolds.     

Geometric realizations,curvature decompositions,and Weyl manifolds

We show that any Weyl curvature model can be geometrically realized by a Weyl manifold.     

The number of independent traces and supertraces on symplectic reflection algebras

It is shown that A:= H₁, _η (G), the sympectic reflection algebra over ?, has T_G independent traces, where T_G is the number of conjugacy classes of elements without eigenvalue 1 belonging to the finite group G ? Sp(2N) ? End(?^2N) generated by the system of symplectic reflections.

Simultaneously, we show that the algebra A, considered as a superalgebra with a natural parity, has S_G independent supertraces, where S_G is the number of conjugacy classes of elements without eigenvalue -1 belonging to G.

We consider also A as a Lie algebra A^L and as a Lie superalgebra A^S.

It is shown that if A is a simple associative algebra, then the supercommutant [A^S, A^S] is a simple Lie superalgebra having at least S_G independent supersymmetric invariant non-degenerate bilinear forms, and the quotient [A^L, A^L]/([A^L, A^L] ∩ ?) is a simple Lie algebra having at least T_G independent symmetric invariant non-degenerate bilinear forms.     

Six-dimensional nearly Kähler manifolds of cohomogeneity one

We consider six-dimensional strict nearly Kähler manifolds acted on by a compact, cohomogeneity one automorphism group G$G$. We classify the compact manifolds of this class up to G$G$-diffeomorphisms. We also prove that the manifold has constant sectional curvature whenever the group G$G$ is simple.     

Conformal Dirac Structures

The Courant bracket defined originally on the sections of a vector bundle TMT ^* MM is extended to the direct sum of the 1-jet vector bundle and its dual. The extended bracket allows one to interpret many structures encountered in differential geometry, in terms of Dirac structures. We give here a new approach to conformal Jacobi structures.     

Holomorphic last multipliers on complex manifolds

The goal of this paper is to study the theory of last multipliers in the framework of complex manifolds with a fixed holomorphic volume form. The motivation of our study is based on the equivalence between a holomorphic ODE system and an associated real ODE system and we are interested how we can relate holomorphic last multipliers with real last multipliers. Also, we consider some applications of our study for holomorphic gradient vector fields on holomorphic Riemannain manifolds as well as for holomorphic Hamiltonian vector fields and holomorphic Poisson bivector fields on holomorphic Poisson manifolds.     

Embedding of Dynamical Symmetry Groups U(1, 1) and U(2) of a Free Particle on AdS 2 and S 2 into Parasupersymmetry Algebra

Using two different types of the laddering equations realized simultaneously by the associated Gegenbauer functions, we show that all quantum states corresponding to the motion of a free particle on AdS ₂ and S ² are splitted into infinite direct sums of infinite-and finite-dimensional Hilbert subspaces which represent Lie algebras u(1, 1) and u(2) with infinite- and finite-fold degeneracies, respectively. In addition, it is shown that the representation bases of Lie algebras with rank 1, i.e., gl(2, C), realize the representation of nonunitary parasupersymmetry algebra of arbitrary order. The realization of the representation of parasupersymmetry algebra by the Hilbert subspaces which describe the motion of a free particle on AdS ₂ and S ² with the dynamical symmetry groups U(1, 1) and U(2) are concluded as well.     

Symplectic manifolds with Lagrangian fibration

A structure theorem is presented for certain kinds of symplectic manifold with a Lagrangian fibration. As a corollary, the class of cotangent bundles is characterized up to the appropriat equivalence, as the type of symplectic manifold considered in the theorem for which in addition, a certain cohomology class vanishes. These results and techniques are then applied to two situations in classical mechanics where symplectic manifolds foliated by Lagrangian submanifolds arise, namely, the Legendre transformation and Hamilton-Jacobi theory.     

Lobachevsky triangle altitudes theorem as the Jacobi identity in the Lie algebra of quadratic forms on symplectic plane

An isomorphism between the Lobachevsky and de Sitter’s world geometries with the symplectic geometry and the Lie algebra of binary quadratic forms is used to derive the altitudes concurrence for the Lobachevsky and de Sitter triangles.

A note on toric contact geometry

After observing that the well-known convexity theorems of symplectic geometry also hold for compact contact manifolds with an effective torus action whose Reeb vector field corresponds to an element of the Lie algebra of the torus, we use this fact together with a recent symplectic orbifold version of Delzant’s theorem due to Lerman and Tolman [E. Lerman, S. Tolman, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 349 (10) (1997) 4201–4230] to show that every such compact toric contact manifold can be obtained by a contact reduction from an odd dimensional sphere.
