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.     

Differential Conditions for Constrained Nonlinear Programming via Pareto Optimization

We deal with the differential conditions for local optimality. The conditions that we derive for inequality constrained problems do not require constraint qualifications and are the broadest conditions based on only first-order and second-order derivatives. A similar result is proved for equality constrained problems, although the necessary conditions require the regularity of the equality constraints.     

The geometry of Ingarden spaces

The Randers spaces RFⁿ were introduced by R. S. Ingarden. They are considered as Finsler spaces Fⁿ = (M, α + β) equipped with the Cartan nonlinear connection. In the present paper we define and study what we call the Ingarden spaces, I Fⁿ, as Finsler spaces I Fⁿ = (M, α + β) equipped with the Lorentz nonlinear connection. The spaces R Fⁿ and I Fⁿ are completely different. For I Fⁿ we discuss: the variational problem, Lorentz nonlinear connection, canonical N-metrical connection and its structure equations, the Cartan 1-form ω, the electromagnetic 2-form tF and the almost symplectic 2-form 0. The formula dω = F+θ is established. It has as a consequence the generalized Maxwell equations. Finally, the almost Hermitian model of I Fⁿ is constructed.     

Solution bundle for a class of impulsive differential inclusions on Banach spaces

In this paper a class of impulsive differential inclusions is investigated. The existence of solution bundle is proved. And we also construct a nonlinear semigroup of operators on cb(E) (closed-bounded subset of E) to describe the set of attainable states.     

Some inequalities for characteristic functions. II

Recently we established Matysiak and Szablowski's conjecture [V. Matysiak, P.J. Szablowski, Theory Probab. Appl. 45 (2001) 711-713] about a lower bound of real-valued characteristic functions. In this paper, applying an alternative approach we are able to give explicitly the ranges of argument for which the obtained inequalities hold true for general characteristic functions.     

Autour du théorème de Ferrand–Obata (Concerning the Theorem of Ferrand–Obata)

The aim of this article is to give a new dynamical proof of the Ferrand–Obata theorem when the manifold is compact. This will give us a generalisation of this theorem to transversally conformal foliations ofcodimension greater than three and constant basic functions.     

On nearly parallel G2-structures

A nearly parallel G₂-structure on a seven-dimensional Riemannian manifold is equivalent to a spin structure with a Killing spinor. We prove general results about the automorphism group of such structures and we construct new examples. We classify all nearly parallel G₂-manifolds with large symmetry group and in particular all homogeneous nearly parallel G₂-structures.     

Hitchin-Thorpe inequality for noncompact Einstein 4-manifolds

We prove a Hitchin-Thorpe inequality for noncompact Einstein 4-manifolds with specified asymptotic geometry at infinity. The asymptotic geometry at infinity is either a cusp bundle over a compact space (the fibered cusps) or a fiber bundle over a cone with a compact fiber (the fibered boundary). Many noncompact Einstein manifolds come with such a geometry at infinity.
