In the study of Riemanniangeometry in mathematics , a local isometry from one Pseudo Riemannian manifold pseudo Riemannian manifold to another is a map which pullback differential geometry pulls back the metric tensor on the second manifold to the metric tensor on the first. When such a map is also a diffeomorphism , such a map is called an isometry or isometric isomorphism , and provides a notion of isomorphism sameness in the category theory category Rm of Riemannian manifolds. Definition Let math M, g math and math M , g math be two Riemannian manifolds, and let math f M to M math be a diffeomorphism. Then math f math is called an isometry or isometric isomorphism if math g f g , math where math f g math denotes the pullback differential geometry pullback of the rank 0, 2 metric tensor math g math by math f math .

In differential geometry , a branch of mathematics , a Riemannian submersion is a Submersion mathematics submersion from one Riemannian manifold to another that respects the metrics, meaning that it is an orthogonal projection on tangent spaces. Let M , g and N , h be two Riemannian manifolds and math f M to N math a submersion. Then f is a Riemannian submersion if and only if the isomorphism math df mathrm ker df perp rightarrow TN math is an isometry . Examples An example of a Riemannian submersion arises when a Lie group math G math acts isometrically, free action freely and proper action properly on a Riemannian manifold math M,g math . The projection math pi M rightarrow N math to the quotient space math N M G math equipped with the quotient metric is a Riemannian submersion. For example, component wise multiplication on math S 3 subset C 2 math by the group of unit complex numbers yields the Hopf fibration .

Image Sphere halve.png thumb right A great circle divides the sphere in two equal Sphere hemisphere s In metric space theory and Riemannian geometry , the Riemannian circle named after Bernhard Riemann is a great circle equipped with its great circle distance . In more detail, the term refers to the circle equipped with its intrinsic Riemannian metric of a compact 1 dimensional manifold of total length 2 , as opposed to the extrinsic metric obtained by restriction of the Euclidean metric to the unit circle in the Plane geometry plane . Thus, the distance between a pair of points is defined to be the length of the shorter of the two arcs into which the circle is partitioned by the two points. Properties The diameter of the Riemannian circle is , in contrast with the usual value of 2 for the Euclidean diameter of the unit circle. The inclusion of the Riemannian circle as the equator or any great circle of the 2 sphere of constant Gaussian curvature 1, is an isometric imbedding in the sense of metric spaces there is no isometric imbedding of the Riemannian circle in Hilbert space in this sense .

Roughly speaking, to measure distances in a sub Riemannian manifold, you are allowed to go only along curves tangent to so called horizontal subspaces . Sub Riemannian manifolds and so, a fortiori , Riemannian manifolds carry a natural intrinsic metric called the metric of Carnot Carath odory .

Sub Riemannian manifolds often occur in the study of constrained systems in classical mechanics , such as the motion of vehicles on a surface, the motion of robot arms, and the orbital dynamics of satellites. Geometric quantities such as the Berry phase may be understood in the language of sub Riemanniangeometry.

In Riemanniangeometry , the cut locus of a point math p math in a manifold is roughly the set of all other points for which there are multiple geodesic geodesics connecting them from math p math .

In differential geometry and the study of Lie group s, a parabolic geometry is a homogeneous space G P which is the quotient of a semisimple Lie group G by a parabolic subgroup P . More generally, the curved analogs of a parabolic geometry in this sense is also called a parabolic geometry any geometry that is modeled on such a space by means of a Cartan connection . The projective space P sup n sup is an example. It is the homogeneous space PGL n 1 H where H is the isotropy group of a line. In this geometrical space, the notion of a straight line is meaningful, but there is no preferred affine parameter along the lines. The curved analog of projective space is a manifold in which the notion of a geodesic makes sense, but for which there are no preferred parametrizations on those geodesics. A projective connection is the relevant Cartan connection that gives a means for describing a projective geometry by gluing copies of the projective space to the tangent spaces of the base manifold. Broadly speaking, projective geometry refers to the study of manifolds with this kind of connection. Another example is the conformal geometry conformal sphere . Topologically, it is the n sphere, but there is no notion of length defined on it, just of angle between curves. Equivalently, this geometry is described as an equivalence class of Riemannian metric s on the sphere called a conformal class . The group of transformations that preserve angles on the sphere is the Lorentz group O n 1,1 , and so S sup n sup O n 1,1 P . Conformal geometry is, more broadly, the study of manifolds with a conformal equivalence class of Riemannian metrics, i.e., manifolds modeled on the conformal sphere.

Expert subject Mathematics date November 2008 Unreferenced date May 2010 In mathematics and physics , in particular differential geometry and general relativity , a warped geometry is a Riemannian manifold Riemannian or Lorentzian manifold whose metric tensor can be written in form math ds 2 , g ab y dy a dy b f y g ij x dx i dx j math Note that the geometry almost decomposes into a Cartesian product of the y geometry and the x geometry except that the x part is warped, i.e. it is rescaled by a scalar function of the other coordinates y . For this reason, the metric of a warped geometry is often called a warped product metric. Warped geometries are useful in that separation of variables can be used when solving partial differential equation s over them. Examples Warped geometries acquire their full meaning when we substitute the variable y for t, time and x, for s, space. Then the d y factor of the spatial dimension becomes the effect of time that in words of Einstein curves space . How it curves space will define one or other solution to a space time world. For that reason different models of space time use warped geometries. Many basic solutions of the Einstein field equations are warped geometries, for example the Schwarzschild solution and the Friedmann Lema tre Robertson Walker metric Friedmann Lemaitre Robertson Walker models . Also, warped geometries are the key building block of Randall Sundrum models in particle physics .

Category Differential geometry Category Spectral theory Category Riemanniangeometry ...Spectral geometry is a field in mathematics which concerns relationships between geometric structures of manifold s and spectra of canonically defined differential operator s. The case of the Laplace Beltrami operator on a closed Riemannian manifold has been most intensively studied, although other Laplace operators in differential geometry have also been examined. The field concerns itself with two kinds of questions direct problems and inverse problems. Inverse problems seek to identify features of the geometry from information about the eigenvalues of the Laplacian. One of the earliest results of this kind was due to Hermann Weyl who used David Hilbert s theory of integral equation in 1911 to show that the volume of a bounded domain in Euclidean space can be determined from the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues for the Dirichlet boundary value problem of the Laplace operator . This question is usually expressed as Can one hear the shape of a drum? , the popular phrase due to Mark Kac see Hearing the shape of a drum . A refinement of Weyl s asymptotic formula obtained by Pleijel and Minakshisundaram produces a series of local spectral invariants involving covariant differentiations of the curvature tensor, which can be used to establish spectral rigidity for a special class of manifolds. However as the example given by John Milnor tells us, the information of eigenvalues is not enough to determine the isometry class of a manifold see isospectral . A general and systematic method due to Toshikazu Sunada gave rise to a veritable cottage industry of such examples which clarifies the phenomenon of isospectral manifolds. Direct problems attempt to infer the behavior of the eigenvalues of a Riemannian manifold from knowledge of the geometry.
