Totally geodesic holomorphic subspaces

In [G. Munteanu, Complex Spaces in Finsler, Lagrange and Hamilton Geometries, vol. 141, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, FTPH, 2004.] we underlined the motifs of a remarkable class of complex Finsler subspaces, namely the holomorphic subspaces. With respect to the Chern–Finsler complex connection (see [M. Abate, G. Patrizio, Finsler Metrics—A Global Approach, Lecture Notes in Mathematics, vol. 1591, Springer, Berlin, 1994.]) we studied in [G. Munteanu, The equations of a holomorphic subspace in a complex Finsler space, Publicationes Math. Debrecen, submitted for publication.] the Gauss, Codazzi and Ricci equations of a holomorphic subspace, the aim being to determine the interrelation between the holomorphic sectional curvature of the Chern–Finsler connection and that of its induced tangent connection.In the present paper, by means of the complex Berwald connection, we study totally geodesic holomorphic subspaces. With respect to complex Berwald connection the equations of the holomorphic subspace have simplified expressions. The totally geodesic subspace request is characterized by using the second fundamental form of complex Berwald connection.     

On holomorphic immersions into K(a)hler manifolds of constant holomorphic sectional curvature

We study holomorphic immersions f: X → M from a complex manifold X into a Kahler manifold of constant holomorphic sectional curvature M, i.e. a complex hyperbolic space form, a complex Euclidean space form, or the complex projective space equipped with the Fubini-Study metric. For X compact we show that the tangent sequence splits holomorphically if and only if f is a totally geodesic immersion. For X not necessarily compact we relate an intrinsic cohomological invariant p(X) on X, viz. the invariant defined by Gunning measuring the obstruction to the existence of holomorphic projective connections, to an extrinsic cohomological invariant v(f)measuring the obstruction to the holomorphic splitting of the tangent sequence. The two invariants p(X) and v(f) are related by a linear map on cohomology groups induced by the second fundamental form.In some cases, especially when X is a complex surface and M is of complex dimension 4, under the assumption that X admits a holomorphic projective connection we obtain a sufficient condition for the holomorphic splitting of the tangent sequence in terms of the second fundamental form.

Laplacian on Complex Finsler Manifolds

In this paper, the Laplacian on the holomorphic tangent bundle T1,0M of a complex manifold M endowed with a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler metric is defined and its explicit expression is obtained by using the Chern Finsler connection associated with (M,F). Utilizing the initiated “Bochner technique”, a vanishing theorem for vector fields on the holomorphic tangent bundle T1,0M is obtained.

Branched two-sheeted covers

In this paper we explore the connection between Weierstrass points of subspaces of the holomorphic differentials and the geometry of the canonical curve inPC ^g−1. In particular, we consider non-hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces with involution and the Weierstrass points of the −1 eigenspace of the holomorphic differentials. The case of coverings of a torus is considered in detail.

Vector bundles with holomorphic connection over a projective manifold with tangent bundle of nonnegative degree

For a projective manifold whose tangent bundle is of nonnegative degree, a vector bundle on it with a holomorphic connection actually admits a compatible flat holomorphic connection, if the manifold satisfies certain conditions. The conditions in question are on the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of the tangent bundle, and on the Neron-Severi group.

     

On the torsion of linear higher order connections

For a linear r-th order connection on the tangent bundle we characterize geometrically its integrability in the sense of the theory of higher order G-structures. Our main tool is a bijection between these connections and the principal connections on the r-th order frame bundle and the comparison of the torsions under both approaches.     

Complemented Family of Subspaces of a Banach Space

In this article we investigate the connection between a family of complemented subspaces of a Banach space having a holomorphic basis, and being holomorphically complemented.     

Hilbert polynomials and Arveson's curvature invariant

We define and study Hilbert polynomials for certain holomorphic Hilbert spaces. We obtain several estimates for these polynomials and their coefficients. Our estimates inspire us to investigate the connection between the leading coefficients of Hilbert polynomials for invariant subspaces of the symmetric Fock space and Arveson's curvature invariant for coinvariant subspaces. We are able to obtain some formulas relating the curvature invariant with other invariants. In particular, we prove that Arveson's version of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula is true when the invariant subspaces are generated by any polynomials.     

Laplacians on the holomorphic tangent bundle of a Kaehler manifold

Let M be a connected complex manifold endowed with a Hermitian metric g. In this paper, the complex horizontal and vertical Laplacians associated with the induced Hermitian metric 〈·, ·〉 on the holomorphic tangent bundle T ^1,0 M of M are defined, and their explicit expressions are obtained. Using the complex horizontal and vertical Laplacians associated with the Hermitian metric 〈·, ·〉 on T ^1,0 M, we obtain a vanishing theorem of holomorphic horizontal p forms which are compactly supported in T ^1,0 M under the condition that g is a Kaehler metric on M.     

On dual geometry of distributions of hyperplane elements in a space with affine connection

In this work, we found the condition of existence of the dual space of affine connection if the regular distribution of hyperplane elements is immersed in a space of affine connection A _n,n . We consider dual affine connections induced by a regular distribution.     

Nonorientable Manifolds, Complex Structures, and Holomorphic Vector Bundles

A generalization of the notion of almost complex structure is defined on a nonorientable smooth manifold M of even dimension. It is defined by giving an isomorphism J from the tangent bundle TM to the tensor product of the tangent bundle with the orientation bundle such that JJ=–Id _TM . The composition JJ is realized as an automorphism of TM using the fact that the orientation bundle is of order two. A notion of integrability of this almost complex structure is defined; also the Kähler condition has been extended. The usual notion of a complex vector bundle is generalized to the nonorientable context. It is a real vector bundle of even rank such that the almost complex structure of a fiber is given up to the sign. Such bundles have generalized Chern classes. These classes take value in the cohomology of the tensor power of the local system defined by the orientation bundle. The notion of a holomorphic vector bundle is extended to the context under consideration. Stable vector bundles and Einstein–Hermitian connections are also generalized. It is shown that a generalized holomorphic vector bundle on a compact nonorientable Kähler manifold admits an Einstein–Hermitian connection if and only if it is polystable.     

Integrability conditions for a certain class of nonlinear evolution equations and Kähler geometry

Multicomponent evolution equations associated with linear connections on complex manifolds are considered. It is proved that under some general assumptions an equation from this class is integrable by inverse scattering method if the corresponding linear connection is the Levi-Civita connection of an indefinite Kählerian metric of constant holomorphic sectional curvature. This result is based on a certain characterization of the above-mentioned Levi-Civita connections. It is shown that the obtained integrable equations are generalized ferromagnetics, and recurrent formulas for their local conservation laws are given.     

Connections of Higher Order and Product Preserving Functors

In this paper we consider a product preserving functor F of order r and a connection of order r on a manifold M. We introduce horizontal lifts of tensor fields and linear connections from M to F(M) with respect to . Our definitions and results generalize the particular cases of the tangent bundle and the tangent bundle of higher order.     

On the fundamental theorem for non-degenerate complex affine hypersurface immersions

Two geometric versions of the fundamental theorem for non-degenerate complex affine hypersurface immersions are proved. We consider non-degenerate complex affine hypersurface immersions with complex transversal connection form (or equivalently, with holomorphic normalization) and prove that the conormal map is a holomorphic map. These considerations inspired the definitions of complex semi-compatible and complex semi-conjugate connections. This allows us to formulate the integrability conditions of the fundamental theorem, on one hand in terms of the induced connection, which has to be complex semi-compatible and dualH-projective flat, and on the other hand, in terms of its semi-conjugate connection, which has to beH-projective flat. Using this results, we formulate the conditions of the fundamental theorem in terms of anyH-projective flat complex affine connection.Research partially supported by Contract MM 413/1994 with the Ministry of Science and Education of Bulgaria and by Contract 219/1994 with the University of Sofia St. Kl.

On the relative connections

Abstract

We investigate relative connections on a sheaf of modules. A sufficient condition is given for the existence of a relative holomorphic connection on a holomorphic vector bundle over a complex analytic family. We show that the relative Chern classes of a holomorphic vector bundle admitting relative holomorphic connection vanish, if each of the fiber of the complex analytic family is compact and Kähler.     

A decomposition of a holomorphic vector bundle with connection and its applications to complex affine immersions

We study a decomposition of a holomorphic vector bundle with connection which need not be endowed with any metrics, which is a generalization of an orthogonal decomposition of a Hermitian holomorphic vector bundle. We first derive several results on the induced connections, the second fundamental forms of subbundles and curvature forms of the connections. We next apply these results to a complex affine immersion. Especially, we give elementary self-contained proofs of the fundamental theorems for a complex affine immersion to a complex affine space.     

Connections on the Total Space of a Holomorphic Lie Algebroid

The main purpose of the paper is the study of the total space of a holomorphic Lie algebroid E. The paper is structured in three parts. In the first section, we briefly introduce basic notions on holomorphic Lie algebroids. The local expressions are written and the complexified holomorphic bundle is introduced. The second section presents two approaches on the study of the geometry of the complex manifold E. The first part contains the study of the tangent bundle \(T_{\mathbb {C}}E=T'E\oplus T''E\) and its link, via the tangent anchor map, with the complexified tangent bundle \(T_{\mathbb {C}}(T'M)=T'(T'M)\oplus T''(T'M)\). A holomorphic Lie algebroid structure is emphasized on \(T'E\). A special study is made for integral curves of a spray on \(T'E\). Theorem 2.8 gives the coefficients of a spray, called canonical, obtained from a complex Lagrangian on \(T'E\). In the second part of section two, we study the holomorphic prolongation \(\mathcal {T}'E\) of the Lie algebroid E. In the third section, we study how a complex Lagrange (Finsler) structure on \(T'M\) induces a Lagrangian structure on E. Three particular cases are analysed by the rank of the anchor map, the dimensions of manifold M, and those of the fibres. We obtain the correspondent on E of the Chern–Lagrange nonlinear connection from \(T'M\).
