Integrable Riemannian Submersion with Singularities

A map of a Riemannian manifold into an euclidian space is said to be transnormal if its restrictions to neighbourhoods of regular level sets are integrable Riemannian submersions. Analytic transnormal maps can be used to describe isoparametric submanifolds in spaces of constant curvature and equifocal submanifolds with flat sections in simply connected symmetric spaces. These submanifolds are also regular leaves of singular Riemannian foliations with sections. We prove that regular level sets of an analytic transnormal map on a real analytic complete Riemannian manifold are equifocal submanifolds and leaves of a singular Riemannian foliation with sections.     

On geodesic mappings of equidistant generalized Riemannian spaces

In this paper geodesic mappings of equidistant generalized Riemannian spaces are discussed. It is proved that each equidistant generalized Riemannian space of basic type admits non-trivial geodesic mapping with preserved equidistant congruence. Especially, there exists non-trivial geodesic mapping of equidistant generalized Riemannian space onto equidistant Riemannian space. An example of geodesic mapping of an equidistant generalized Riemannian spaces is presented.

Computing the matrix geometric mean: Riemannian versus Euclidean conditioning,implementation techniques,and a Riemannian BFGS method

This paper addresses the problem of computing the Riemannian center of mass of a collection of symmetric positive definite matrices. We show in detail that the condition number of the Riemannian Hessian of the underlying optimization problem is never very ill conditioned in practice, which explains why the Riemannian steepest descent approach has been observed to perform well. We also show theoretically and empirically that this property is not shared by the Euclidean Hessian. We then present a limited‐memory Riemannian BFGS method to handle this computational task. We also provide methods to produce efficient numerical representations of geometric objects that are required for Riemannian optimization methods on the manifold of symmetric positive definite matrices. Through empirical results and a computational complexity analysis, we demonstrate the robust behavior of the limited‐memory Riemannian BFGS method and the efficiency of our implementation when compared to state‐of‐the‐art algorithms.     

ON THE INVARIANT SUBMANIFOLDS OF RIEMANNIAN PRODUCT MANIFOLD

In this paper, the vertical and horizontal distributions of an invariant submanifold of a Riemannian product manifold are discussed. An invariant real space form in a Riemannian product manifold is researched. Finally, necessary and sufficient conditions are given on an invariant submanifold of a Riemannian product manifold to be a locally symmetric and real space form.     

Inversion of the wavelet transform using Riemannian sums

We study the approximation of the inverse wavelet transform using Riemannian sums. For a large class of wavelet functions, we show that the Riemannian sums converge to the original function as the sampling density tends to infinity. When the analysis and synthesis wavelets are the same, we also give some necessary conditions for the Riemannian sums to be convergent.     

Nonsmooth analysis and Hamilton–Jacobi equations on Riemannian manifolds

We establish some perturbed minimization principles, and we develop a theory of subdifferential calculus, for functions defined on Riemannian manifolds. Then we apply these results to show existence and uniqueness of viscosity solutions to Hamilton–Jacobi equations defined on Riemannian manifolds.     

You can hear the local orientability of an orbifold

A Riemannian orbifold is a mildly singular generalization of a Riemannian manifold which is locally modeled on the quotient of a connected, open manifold under a finite group of isometries. If all of the isometries used to define the local structures of an entire orbifold are orientation preserving, we call the orbifold locally orientable. We use heat invariants to show that a Riemannian orbifold which is locally orientable cannot be Laplace isospectral to a Riemannian orbifold which is not locally orientable. As a corollary we observe that a Riemannian orbifold that is not locally orientable cannot be Laplace isospectral to a Riemannian manifold.     

Envelopes of splines in the projective plane

In this paper a family of curves—Riemannian cubics—inthe unit sphere and the real projective plane is investigated.Riemannian cubics naturally arise as solutions to variationalproblems in Riemannian spaces. It is remarkable to find thatan envelope of lines generated by a Riemannian cubic in onespace is (nearly) a Riemannian cubic in another space.

Proximal subgradient and a characterization of Lipschitz function on Riemannian manifolds

A characterization of Lipschitz behavior of functions defined on Riemannian manifolds is given in this paper. First, it is extended the concept of proximal subgradient and some results of proximal analysis from Hilbert space to Riemannian manifold setting. A technique introduced by Clarke, Stern and Wolenski [F.H. Clarke, R.J. Stern, P.R. Wolenski, Subgradient criteria for monotonicity, the Lipschitz condition, and convexity, Canad. J. Math. 45 (1993) 1167-1183], for generating proximal subgradients of functions defined on a Hilbert spaces, is also extended to Riemannian manifolds in order to provide that characterization. A number of examples of Lipschitz functions are presented so as to show that the Lipschitz behavior of functions defined on Riemannian manifolds depends on the Riemannian metric.

An Expression for the Riemann Tensor of a Submanifold Given by a System of Equations in a Riemannian Space

We derive an expression for the Riemann tensor of a submanifold given implicitly by a system of independent equations in a Riemannian space. In particular, we prove a formula for the internal curvature of a two-surface in a three-dimensional Riemannian space. Some applications of the formula are given.     

Locally conformally homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian spaces

Locally homogeneous Riemannian spaces were studied in [1–4]. Locally conformally homogeneous Riemannian spaces were considered in [10]. Moreover, the theorem claiming that every such space is either conformally flat or conformally equivalent to a locally homogeneous Riemannian space was proved.In this article, we study locally conformally homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian spaces and prove a theorem on their structure. Using three-dimensional Lie groups and the six-dimensional Heisenberg group [11], we construct some examples showing the difference between the Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian cases for such spaces.     

Eigenvalues and lambda constants on Riemannian submersions

Given a Riemannian submersion, we study the relation between lambda constants introduced by G. Perelman on the base manifold and the total space of a Riemannian submersion. We also discuss the relationship between the first eigenvalues of Laplacians on the base manifold and that of the total space. The quantities on warped products are discussed in detail.      

Leaf closures of Riemannian foliations: A survey on topological and geometric aspects of Killing foliations

A smooth foliation is Riemannian when its leaves are locally equidistant. The closures of the leaves of a Riemannian foliation on a simply-connected manifold, or more generally of a Killing foliation, are described by flows of transverse Killing vector fields. This offers significant technical advantages in the study of this class of foliations, which nonetheless includes other important classes, such as those given by the orbits of isometric Lie group actions. Aiming at a broad audience, in this survey we introduce Killing foliations from the very basics, starting with a brief revision of the main objects appearing in this theory, such as pseudogroups, sheaves, holonomy and basic cohomology. We then review Molino’s structural theory for Riemannian foliations and present its transverse counterpart in the theory of complete pseudogroups of isometries, emphasizing the connections between these topics. We also survey some classical results and recent developments in the theory of Killing foliations. Finally, we review some topics in the theory of singular Riemannian foliations, including the recent proof of Molino’s conjecture, and discuss singular Killing foliations.     

Convergence of Riemannian sums of inverse wavelet transforms

We study the approximation of the inverse wavelet transform using Riemannian sums.We show that when the Fourier transforms of wavelet functions satisfy some moderate decay condition,the Riemannian sums converge to the function to be reconstructed as the sampling density tends to infinity.We also study the convergence of the operators introduced by the Riemannian sums.Our result improves some known ones.

Proximal Point Algorithm On Riemannian Manifolds

Abstract

In this paper we consider the minimization problem with constraints. We will show that if the set of constraints is a Riemannian manifold of nonpositive sectional curvature, and the objective function is convex in this manifold, then the proximal point method in Euclidean space is naturally extended to solve that class of problems. We will prove that the sequence generated by our method is well defined and converge to a minimizer point. In particular we show how tools of Riemannian geometry, more specifically the convex analysis in Riemannian manifolds, can be used to solve nonconvex constrained problem in Euclidean, space.
