Invariant Metrics on Cohomogeneity One Manifolds

Let G be one of the connected subgroups of the orthogonal group of ⁿ which acts transitively on the unit sphere S ^n–1. We get the necessary and sufficient condition for G-invariant metrics g on ⁿ \{0} to be extendend to the origin. For n=2 this is a classical result of Berard–Bergery. The curvature tensor and the sectional curvature of any such Riemannian G-manifold ( ⁿ , g) are described in terms of the length of the Killing vector fields, as well as the second fundamental form of the regular orbits G(P)=S ^n–1. As an application we describe all G-invariant metrics which are Kähler, hyperKähler or have constant principal curvatures. Some of these results are generalized to the case of any cohomogeneity one G-manifold which, in a neighbourhood of a singular orbit, can be identified with a twisted product.     

Stable constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in ℝ n+1 and ℍ n+1(−1)

In this paper, we show that all complete stable hypersurfaces in ⁿ⁺¹(or ⁿ⁺¹ (-1)) (n = 3, 4, 5) with constant mean curvature H > 0 (or H > 1, respectively) and finite L ² norm of traceless second fundamental form are compact geodesic spheres.

On extension of isometries between unit spheres of -spaces

In this paper, we study the extension of isometries between unit spheres of atomic -spaces . We find a condition under which an isometry between unit spheres can be linearly isometrically extended. Moreover, we prove that every onto isometry between unit spheres of atomic -spaces can be linearly isometrically extended to the whole space.

     

Additive Jordan isomorphisms of nest algebras on normed spaces

Let X be a real or complex Banach space. Let and be two nest algebras on X. Suppose that φ is an additive bijective mapping from onto such that φ(A²)=φ(A)² for every . Then φ is either a ring isomorphism or a ring anti-isomorphism. Moreover, if X is a real space or an infinite dimensional complex space, then there exists a continuous (conjugate) linear bijective mapping T such that either φ(A)=TAT⁻¹ for every or φ(A)=TA∗T−1 for every .     

On the Bochner theorem on orthogonal operators

We prove the following theorem. Any isometric operator , that acts from the Hilbert space with nonnegative weight to the Hilbert space with nonnegative weight , allows for the integral representation

where the kernels and satisfy certain conditions that are necessary and sufficient for these kernels to generate the corresponding isometric operators.

Another complete invariant for Steiner triple systems of order 15

In this note, the 80 non‐isomorphic triple systems on 15 points are revisited from the viewpoint of the convex hull of the characteristic vectors of their blocks. The main observation is that the numbers, of facets of these 80 polyhedra are all different, thus producing a new proof of the non‐isomorphism of these triple systems. The space dimension of these polyhedra is also discussed. Finally, we observe the large number of facets of some of these polyhedra with few vertices, in relation with the upper bound problem for combinatorial polyhedra. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
