Lie Algebroids, Holonomy and Characteristic Classes

We extend the notion of connection in order to study singular geometric structures, namely, we consider a notion of connection on a Lie algebroid which is a natural extension of the usual concept of a covariant connection. It allows us to define holonomy of the orbit foliation of a Lie algebroid and prove a Stability Theorem. We also introduce secondary or exotic characteristic classes, thus providing invariants which generalize the modular class of a Lie algebroid.

Laplacian on Complex Finsler Manifolds

In this paper, the Laplacian on the holomorphic tangent bundle T1,0M of a complex manifold M endowed with a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler metric is defined and its explicit expression is obtained by using the Chern Finsler connection associated with (M,F). Utilizing the initiated “Bochner technique”, a vanishing theorem for vector fields on the holomorphic tangent bundle T1,0M is obtained.     

Connections on Complex Finsler Manifold

Positive definite Minkowski Lie algebras and bi-invariant Finsler metrics on Lie groups

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a Minkowski Lie algebra, which is the natural generalization of the notion of a real quadratic Lie algebra (metric Lie algebra). We then study the positive definite Minkowski Lie algebras and obtain a complete classification of the simple ones. Finally, we present some applications of our results to Finsler geometry and give a classification of bi-invariant Finsler metrics on Lie groups. This work was supported by NSFC (No.10671096) and NCET of China.

Positivities and vanishing theorems on complex Finsler manifolds

In this paper, we study the relations between curvatures and geometries of a compact complex Finsler manifold. We first introduce various definitions of curvatures and then vanishing theorems are established under some positivity assumptions of curvatures. In particular, we get some criteria of a compact complex Finsler manifold to be of negative Kodaira dimension.

Geometric structures as deformed infinitesimal symmetries

A general model for geometric structures on differentiable manifolds is obtained by deforming infinitesimal symmetries. Specifically, this model consists of a Lie algebroid, equipped with an affine connection compatible with the Lie algebroid structure. The curvature of this connection vanishes precisely when the structure is locally symmetric.

This model generalizes Cartan geometries, a substantial class, to the intransitive case. Simple examples are surveyed and corresponding local obstructions to symmetry are identified. These examples include foliations, Riemannian structures, infinitesimal -structures, symplectic and Poisson structures.

     

K(a)hler Finsler Metrics Are Actually Strongly K(a)hler

On projective symmetries on Finsler spaces

There are two definitions of Einstein-Finsler spaces introduced by Akbar-Zadeh, which we will show is equal along the integral curves of I-invariant projective vector fields. The sub-algebra of the C-projective vector fields, leaving the H-curvature invariant, has been studied extensively. Here we show on a closed Finsler space with negative definite Ricci curvature reduces to that of Killing vector fields. Moreover, if an Einstein-Finsler space admits such a projective vector field then the flag curvature is constant. Finally, a classification of compact isotropic mean Landsberg manifolds admitting certain projective vector fields is obtained with respect to the sign of Ricci curvature.     

Cleft Extensions of Hopf Algebroids

The notions of a cleft extension and a cross product with a Hopf algebroid are introduced and studied. In particular it is shown that an extension (with a Hopf algebroid ℋ = (ℋ _L , ℋ _R )) is cleft if and only if it is ℋ _R -Galois and has a normal basis property relative to the base ring L of ℋ _L . Cleft extensions are identified as crossed products with invertible cocycles. The relationship between the equivalence classes of crossed products and gauge transformations is established. Strong connections in cleft extensions are classified and sufficient conditions are derived for the Chern–Galois characters to be independent on the choice of strong connections. The results concerning cleft extensions and crossed product are then extended to the case of weak cleft extensions of Hopf algebroids hereby defined. Dedicated to Stef Caenepeel on the occasion of his 50th birthday.

Holomorphic curvature of complex Finsler submanifolds

Let M be a complex n-dimensional manifold endowed with a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler metric F. Let M be a complex m-dimensional submanifold of M, which is endowed with the induced complex Finsler metric F. Let D be the complex Rund connection associated with (M, F). We prove that (a) the holomorphic curvature of the induced complex linear connection  on (M, F) and the holomorphic curvature of the intrinsic complex Rund connection ～* on (M, F) coincide; (b) the holomorphic curvature of ～* does not exceed the holomorphic curvature of D; (c) (M, F) is totally geodesic in (M, F) if and only if a suitable contraction of the second fundamental form B(·, ·) of (M, F) vanishes, i.e., B(χ, ι) = 0. Our proofs are mainly based on the Gauss, Codazzi and Ricci equations for (M, F).     

Finsler Hardy inequalities

In this paper we present a unified simple approach to anisotropic Hardy inequalities in various settings. We consider Hardy inequalities which involve a Finsler distance from a point or from the boundary of a domain. The sharpness and the non-attainability of the constants in the inequalities are also proved.
