We show that the travel time difference functions, measured on the boundary, determine a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary up to Riemannian isometry, if boundary satisfies a certain visibility condition. This corresponds with the inverse microseismicity problem. The novelty of our paper is a new type of a proof and a weaker assumption for the boundary than it has been presented in the literature before. We also construct an explicit smooth atlas from the travel time difference functions.
We prove that the boundary distance map of a smooth compact Finsler manifold with smooth boundary determines its topological and differentiable structures. We construct the optimal fiberwise open subset of its tangent bundle and show that the boundary distance map determines the Finsler function in this set but not in its exterior. If the Finsler function is fiberwise real analytic, it is determined uniquely. We also discuss the smoothness of the distance function between interior and boundary points. We recall how the fastest $qP$-polarized waves in anisotropic elastic medium are a given as solutions of the second order hyperbolic pseudodifferential equation $(frac{p^2}{p t^2}-lambda^1(x,D))u(t,x)=h(t,x)$ on $R^{1+3}$, where $sqrt{lambda^1}$ is the Legendre transform of a fiberwise real analytic Finsler function $F$ on $R^3$. If $M subset R^3$ is a $F$-convex smooth bounded domain we say that a travel time of $u$ to $z in p M$ is the first time $t>0$ when the wavefront set of $u$ arrives in $(t,z)$. The aforementioned geometric result can then be utilized to determine the isometry class of $(overline M,F)$ if we have measured a large amount of travel times of $qP$-polarized waves, issued from a dense set of unknown interior point sources on $M$.
This note proves that any locally extremal non-self-conjugate geodesic loop in a Riemannian manifold is a closed geodesic. As a consequence, any complete and non-contractible Riemannian manifold with diverging injectivity radii along diverging sequences and without points conjugate to themselves, possesses a minimizing closed geodesic.
Manifold submetries of the round sphere are a class of partitions of the round sphere that generalizes both singular Riemannian foliations, and the orbit decompositions by the orthogonal representations of compact groups. We exhibit a one-to-one correspondence between such manifold submetries and maximal Laplacian algebras, thus solving the Inverse Invariant Theory problem for this class of partitions. Moreover, a solution to the analogous problem is provided for two smaller classes, namely orthogonal representations of finite groups, and transnormal systems with closed leaves.
In this paper, we prove that a compact quasi-Einstein manifold $(M^n,,g,,u)$ of dimension $ngeq 4$ with boundary $partial M,$ nonnegative sectional curvature and zero radial Weyl tensor is either isometric, up to scaling, to the standard hemisphere $Bbb{S}^n_+,$ or $g=dt^{2}+psi ^{2}(t)g_{L}$ and $u=u(t),$ where $g_{L}$ is Einstein with nonnegative Ricci curvature. A similar classification result is obtained by assuming a fourth-order vanishing condition on the Weyl tensor. Moreover, a new example is presented in order to justify our assumptions. In addition, the case of dimension $n=3$ is also discussed.
In a Riemannian manifold, the existence of a new connection is proved. In particular cases, this connection reduces to several symmetric, semi-symmetric and quarter-symmetric connections; even some of them are not introduced so far. We also find formula for curvature tensor of this new connection.
