Ishan, Bang-Yen Chen, Sharief Deshmukh, Amira . 2019
In this article, we study Jacobi-type vector fields on Riemannian manifolds. A Killing vector field is a Jacobi-type vector field while the converse is not true, leading to a natural question of finding conditions under which a Jacobi-type vector field is Killing. In this article, we first prove that every Jacobi-type vector field on a compact Riemannian manifold is Killing. Then, we find several necessary and sufficient conditions for a Jacobi-type vector field to be a Killing vector field on non-compact Riemannian manifolds. Further, we derive some characterizations of Euclidean spaces in terms of Jacobi-type vector fields. Finally, we provide examples of Jacobi-type vector fields on non-compact Riemannian manifolds, which are non-Killing.
We aim to examine the influence of the existence of a nonzero eigenvector z of the de-Rham
operator G on a k-dimensional Riemannian manifold (Nk, g). If the vector z annihilates the de-Rham…
The Fischer-Marsden conjecture asserts that an n-dimensional compact manifold admitting a nontrivial solution of the so-called Fischer-Marsden differential equation is necessarily an Einstein…
We use a nontrivial concircular vector field u on the unit sphere Sn+1 in studying
geometry of its hypersurfaces. An orientable hypersurface M of the unit sphere Sn+1
naturally…
