On the vertical bundle of a pseudo‐Finsler manifold

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 22, Issue 3, Page 637-642, 1999., 1999
We define the Liouville distribution on the tangent bundle of a pseudo‐Finsler manifold and prove that it is integrable. Also, we find geometric properties of both leaves of Liouville distribution and the vertical distribution.

Survey on real forms of the complex A2(2)-Toda equation and surface theory

open access: yesComplex Manifolds, 2019
The classical result of describing harmonic maps from surfaces into symmetric spaces of reductive Lie groups [9] states that the Maurer-Cartan form with an additional parameter, the so-called loop parameter, is integrable for all values of the loop ...

Curves in the Lorentz-Minkowski plane: elasticae, catenaries and grim-reapers

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2018
This article is motivated by a problem posed by David A. Singer in 1999 and by the classical Euler elastic curves. We study spacelike and timelike curves in the Lorentz-Minkowski plane 𝕃2 whose curvature is expressed in terms of the Lorentzian ...

Kähler metrics via Lorentzian Geometry in dimension four

open access: yesComplex Manifolds, 2019
Given a semi-Riemannian 4-manifold (M, g) with two distinguished vector fields satisfying properties determined by their shear, twist and various Lie bracket relations, a family of Kähler metrics gK is constructed, defined on an open set in M, which ...

Local classification and examples of an important class of paracontact metric manifolds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We study paracontact metric $(\kappa,\mu)$-spaces with $\kappa=-1$, equivalent to $h^2=0$ but not $h=0$. In particular, we will give an alternative proof of Theorem 3.2 of [11] and present examples of paracontact metric $(-1,2)$-spaces and $(-1,0 ...

Examples of naturally reductive pseudo-Riemannian Lie groups

open access: yes, 2011
We provide examples of naturally reductive pseudo-Riemannian spaces, in particular an example of a naturally reductive pseudo-Riemannian 2-step nilpotent Lie group $(N, _N)$, such that $_N$ is invariant under a left action and for which the center is ...

Geodesic Flow on the Normal Congruence of a Minimal Surface

open access: yes, 2006
We study the geodesic flow on the normal line congruence of a minimal surface in ${\Bbb{R}}^3$ induced by the neutral K\"ahler metric on the space of oriented lines.

A note about the torsion of null curves in the $3$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime and the Schwarzian derivative

open access: yes, 2015
The main topic of this paper is to show that in the 3-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, the torsion of a null curve is equal to the Schwarzian derivative of a certain function appearing in a description of the curve.

On global geodesic mappings of $n$-dimensional surfaces of revolution

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper we study geodesic mappings of $n$-dimensional surfaces of revolution. From the general theory of geodesic mappings of equidistant spaces we specialize to surfaces of revolution and apply the obtained formulas to the case of rotational ...
