A comment on metric vs metric-affine gravity
Physics Letters B, 2023 We consider the sum of the Einstein-Hilbert action and a Pontryagin density (PD) in arbitrary even dimension D≥4. All curvatures are functions of independent affine (torsionless) connections only.

Levi-Civita connections and vector fields for noncommutative differential calculi [PDF]
International Journal of Mathematics, 2020 We study covariant derivatives on a class of centered bimodules [Formula: see text] over an algebra [Formula: see text] We begin by identifying a [Formula: see text]-submodule [Formula: see text] which can be viewed as the analogue of vector fields in this context; [Formula: see text] is proven to be a Lie algebra.

Heterotic reduction of Courant algebroid connections and Einstein–Hilbert actions
Nuclear Physics B, 2016 We discuss Levi-Civita connections on Courant algebroids. We define an appropriate generalization of the curvature tensor and compute the corresponding scalar curvatures in the exact and heterotic case, leading to generalized (bosonic) Einstein–Hilbert ...

On geometry of Kenmotsu manifolds with N-connection
Дифференциальная геометрия многообразий фигур, 2019 A Kenmotsu manifold with a given N-connection is considered. From the integrability of the distribution of a Kenmotsu manifold it follows that the N-connection belongs to the class of the quarter-symmetric connections. Among the N-connections, the class

Finite Element Approximation of the Levi-Civita Connection and Its Curvature in Two Dimensions
Foundations of Computational Mathematics, 2022 We construct finite element approximations of the Levi-Civita connection and its curvature on triangulations of oriented two-dimensional manifolds. Our construction relies on the Regge finite elements, which are piecewise polynomial symmetric (0,2)-tensor fields possessing single-valued tangential-tangential components along element interfaces.

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2012 We study lightlike hypersurfaces of a semi-Riemannian product manifold. We introduce a class of lightlike hypersurfaces called screen semi-invariant lightlike hypersurfaces and radical anti-invariant lightlike hypersurfaces.

On q-deformed Levi-Civita connections
, 2020 We explore the possibility of introducing q-deformed connections on the quantum 2-sphere and 3-sphere, satisfying a twisted Leibniz rule in analogy with q-deformed derivations. We show that such connections always exist on projective modules.

On Geometric Phase Model in the Theory of Curves With Myller Configuration
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper, we introduce a linearly polarized light wave in an optical fiber and rotation of the polarization plane through the Frenet‐type frame with Myller configuration. Since the geometric evaluation and interpretations of a polarized light wave are associated with geometric phase, a new type of geometric phase model has been ...

On a Metric Affine Manifold with Several Orthogonal Complementary Distributions
Mathematics, 2021 A Riemannian manifold endowed with k>2 orthogonal complementary distributions (called here an almost multi-product structure) appears in such topics as multiply twisted or warped products and the webs or nets composed of orthogonal foliations.

Embedding Optimization of Layouts via Distortion Minimization
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Given an embedding of a layout in the surface of a target mesh, we consider the problem of optimizing the embedding geometrically. Layout embeddings partition the surface into multiple disk‐like patches, making them particularly useful for parametrization and remeshing tasks, such as quad‐remeshing, since these problems can then be solved on ...
