A new approach on helices in pseudo-Riemannian manifolds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper, we give a definition of harmonic curvature functions in terms of V_{n} and define a new kind of slant helix which is called V_{n}-slant helix in n-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifold.

Isometry Lie algebras of indefinite homogeneous spaces of finite volume

open access: yesProceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 119, Issue 4, Page 1115-1148, October 2019., 2019
Abstract Let g be a real finite‐dimensional Lie algebra equipped with a symmetric bilinear form ⟨·,·⟩. We assume that ⟨·,·⟩ is nil‐invariant. This means that every nilpotent operator in the smallest algebraic Lie subalgebra of endomorphisms containing the adjoint representation of g is an infinitesimal isometry for ⟨·,·⟩.

On Carleman and observability estimates for wave equations on time‐dependent domains

open access: yesProceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 119, Issue 4, Page 998-1064, October 2019., 2019
Abstract We establish new Carleman estimates for the wave equation, which we then apply to derive novel observability inequalities for a general class of linear wave equations. The main features of these inequalities are that (a) they apply to a fully general class of time‐dependent domains, with timelike moving boundaries, (b) they apply to linear ...

Evolution of the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator and the p-Laplace operator under a forced mean curvature flow

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2020
In this paper, we discuss the monotonicity of the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplace operator and the p-Laplace operator under a forced mean curvature flow (MCF).

Screen conformal half‐lightlike submanifolds

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2004, Issue 68, Page 3737-3753, 2004., 2004
We study some properties of a half‐lightlike submanifold M, of a semi‐Riemannian manifold, whose shape operator is conformal to the shape operator of its screen distribution. We show that any screen distribution S(TM) of M is integrable and the geometry of M has a close relation with the nondegenerate geometry of a leaf of S(TM).

Trajectories under a vectorial potential on stationary manifolds

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2003, Issue 23, Page 1481-1495, 2003., 2003
By using variational methods, we study the existence and multiplicity of trajectories under a vectorial potential on (standard) stationary Lorentzian manifolds possibly with boundary.

Ricci-flat and Einstein pseudoriemannian nilmanifolds

open access: yesComplex Manifolds, 2019
This is partly an expository paper, where the authors’ work on pseudoriemannian Einstein metrics on nilpotent Lie groups is reviewed. A new criterion is given for the existence of a diagonal Einstein metric on a nice nilpotent Lie group.

A geometric flow on null hypersurfaces of Lorentzian manifolds

open access: yesTopological Algebra and its Applications, 2022
We introduce a geometric flow on a screen integrable null hypersurface in terms of its local second fundamental form. We use it to give an alternative proof to the vorticity free Raychaudhuri’s equation for null hypersurface, as well as establishing ...

Biharmonic curves in Minkowski 3‐space

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2003, Issue 21, Page 1365-1368, 2003., 2003
We give a differential geometric interpretation for the classification of biharmonic curves in semi‐Euclidean 3‐space due to Chen and Ishikawa (1991).

A New Quasi-local Mass and Positivity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We use an idea of Wang and Yau to give a new definition of quasi-local mass for a topological sphere in an initial date set. The new definition modifies Brown-York's definition by using certain spinor norm as lapse function.
