Ambrose, Palais and Singer cite{Ambrose} introduced the concept of second order structures on finite dimensional manifolds. Kumar and Viswanath cite{Kumar} extended these results to the category of Banach manifolds. In the present paper all of these results are generalized to a large class of Frechet manifolds. It is proved that the existence of Christoffel and Hessian structures, connections, sprays and dissections are equivalent on those Frechet manifolds which can be considered as projective limits of Banach manifolds. These concepts provide also an alternative way for the study of ordinary differential equations on non-Banach infinite dimensional manifolds. Concrete examples of the structures are provided using direct and flat connections.

We define systems of pre-extremals for the energy functional of regular rheonomic Lagrange manifolds and show how they induce well-defined Hamilton orthogonal nets. Such nets have applications in the modelling of e.g. wildfire spread under time- and space-dependent conditions. The time function inherited from such a Hamilton net induces in turn a time-independent Finsler metric - we call it the associated frozen metric. It is simply obtained by inserting the time function from the net into the given Lagrangean. The energy pre-extremals then become ordinary Finsler geodesics of the frozen metric and the Hamilton orthogonality property is preserved during the freeze. We compare our results with previous findings of G. W. Richards concerning his application of Huyghens principle to establish the PDE system for Hamilton orthogonal nets in 2D Randers spaces and also concerning his explicit spray solutions for time-only dependent Randers spaces. We analyze examples of time-dependent 2D Randers spaces with simple, yet non-trivial, Zermelo data; we obtain analytic and numerical solutions to their respective energy pre-extremal equations; and we display details of the resulting (frozen) Hamilton orthogonal nets.

We shall give a twisted Dirac structure on the space of irreducible connections on a SU(n)-bundle over a three-manifold, and give a family of twisted Dirac structures on the space of irreducible connections on the trivial SU(n)-bundle over a four-man ifold. The twist is described by the Cartan 3-form on the space of connections. It vanishes over the subspace of flat connections. So the spaces of flat connections are endowed with ( non-twisted ) Dirac structures. The Dirac structure on the space of flat connections over the three-manifold is obtained as the boundary restriction of a corresponding Dirac structure over the four-manifold. We discuss also the action of the group of gauge transformations over these Dirac structures.

We define flag structures on a real three manifold M as the choice of two complex lines on the complexified tangent space at each point of M. We suppose that the plane field defined by the complex lines is a contact plane and construct an adapted con nection on an appropriate principal bundle. This includes path geometries and CR structures as special cases. We prove that the null curvature models are given by totally real submanifolds in the flag space SL(3, C)/B, where B is the subgroup of upper triangular matrices. We also define a global invariant which is analogous to the Chern-Simons secondary class invariant for three manifolds with a Riemannian structure and to the Burns-Epstein invariant in the case of CR structures. It turns out to be constant on homotopy classes of totally real immersions in flag space.

Every Riemannian metric or Finsler metric on a manifold induces a spray via its geodesics. In this paper, we discuss several expressions for the X-curvature of a spray. We show that the sprays obtained by a projective deformation using the S-curvatur e always have vanishing X-curvature. Then we establish the Beltrami Theorem for sprays with X=0
We obtain a Central Limit Theorem for closed Riemannian manifolds, clarifying along the way the geometric meaning of some of the hypotheses in Bhattacharya and Lins Omnibus Central Limit Theorem for Frechet means. We obtain our CLT assuming certain s tability hypothesis for the cut locus, which always holds when the manifold is compact but may not be satisfied in the non-compact case.
