λ-Automorphisms of a Riemannian Foliation II

In Pak (Ann. Global Anal. Geom.13 (1995), 281–288), the notion of -automorphisms of a harmonic Riemannian foliation was extended to a general Riemannian foliation. By applying the characterization obtained in Pak of a -automorphism to be transversal Killing, we here consider the problem that a transversal conformal or projective field is transversal Killing. A special condition, namely _{B B} = 0, is discussed.     

Dynamically convex Finsler metrics and <Emphasis Type="Italic">J</Emphasis>-holomorphic embedding of asymptotic cylinders

We explore the relationship between contact forms on defined by Finsler metrics on and the theory developed by H. Hofer, K. Wysocki and E. Zehnder (Hofer etal. Ann. Math. 148, 197–289, 1998; Ann. Math. 157, 125–255, 2003). We show that a Finsler metric on with curvature K ≥ 1 and with all geodesic loops of length > π is dynamically convex and hence it has either two or infinitely many closed geodesics. We also explain how to explicitly construct J-holomorphic embeddings of cylinders asymptotic to Reeb orbits of contact structures arising from Finsler metrics on with K = 1, thus complementing the results obtained in Harris and Wysocki (Trans. Am. Math. Soc., to appear).      

Finsler geometry of topological singularities for multi‐valued fields: Applications to continuum theory of defects

Topological singularity in a continuum theory of defects and a quantum field theory is studied from a viewpoint of differential geometry. The integrability conditions of singularity (Clairaut‐Schwarz‐Young theorem) are expressed by a torsion tensor and a curvature tensor when a Finslerian intrinsic parallelism holds for the multi‐valued function. In the context of the quantum field theory, the singularity called an extended object is expressed by the torsion when the intrinsic parallelism is related to the spontaneous breakdown of symmetry. In the continuum theory of defects, the path‐dependency of point and line defects within a crystal is interpreted by the non‐vanishing condition of torsion tensor in a non‐Riemannian space osculated from the Finsler space, and the domain is not simply connected. On the other hand, for the rotational singularity, an energy integral (J‐integral) around a disclination field is path‐independent when a nonlinear connection is single‐valued. This means that the topological expression for the sole defect (Gauss‐Bonnet theorem with genus ) is understood by the integrability of nonlinear connection.

     

Robust stability analysis of stochastic neural networks with Markovian jumping parameters and probabilistic time‐varying delays

This article discusses the issue of robust stability analysis for a class of Markovian jumping stochastic neural networks (NNs) with probabilistic time‐varying delays. The jumping parameters are represented as a continuous‐time discrete‐state Markov chain. Using the stochastic stability theory, properties of Brownian motion, the information of probabilistic time‐varying delay, the generalized Ito's formula, and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, some novel sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the stochastical stability of the given NNs. In particular, the activation functions considered in this article are reasonably general in view of the fact that they may depend on Markovian jump parameters and they are more general than those usual Lipschitz conditions. The main features of this article are described in the following: first one is that, based on generalized Finsler lemma, some improved delay‐dependent stability criteria are established and the second one is that the nonlinear stochastic perturbation acting on the system satisfies a class of Lipschitz linear growth conditions. By resorting to the Lyapunov–Krasovskii stability theory and the stochastic analysis tools, sufficient stability conditions are established using an efficient LMI approach. Finally, two numerical examples and its simulations are given to demonstrate the usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed results. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 59–72, 2016     

Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces Foliated by Circles in Lorentz–Minkowski Space

We prove that a spacelike surface in L3 with nonzero constant mean curvature and foliated by pieces of circles in spacelike planes is a surface of revolution. When the planes containing the circles are timelike or null, examples of nonrotational constant mean curvature surfaces constructed by circles are presented. Finally, we prove that a nonzero constant mean curvature spacelike surface foliated by pieces of circles in parallel planes is a surface of revolution.

A vanishing theorem on Kaehler Finsler manifolds

Let M be a connected compact complex manifold endowed with a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler metric F. In this paper, we first define the complex horizontal Laplacian □_h and complex vertical Laplacian □_v on the holomorphic tangent bundle T^1,0M of M, and then we obtain a precise relationship among □_h,□_v and the Hodge–Laplace operator on (T^1,0M,,), where , is the induced Hermitian metric on T^1,0M by F. As an application, we prove a vanishing theorem of holomorphic p-forms on M under the condition that F is a Kaehler Finsler metric on M.
