Concircularly Semi-Symmetric Metric Connection

Miroslav Maksimović, University of Priština in Kosovska Mitrovica, Kosovska Mitrovica, Serbia, and Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Bulgaria

September 30, 2025, 11:00 am, Room 403

Abstract:

A concircularly semi-symmetric metric connection is a special class of semi-symmetric metric connection when its generator is a concircular vector. In this talk, we will present results on this connection on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds, and in particular, we will observe the application to Lorentzian manifolds and the theory of relativity. We demonstrate that a Lorentzian manifold reduces to a GRW space-time when the generator of the observed connection is a unit timelike vector. At the same time, the mentioned connection becomes a semi-symmetric metric P-connection. At the end, we determine the equation of state on a perfect fluid space-time. These are the results of a joint work with prof. Milan Zlatanović published in J. Geom. Phys. 217 (2025).

Unimodality Preservation by Ratios of Functional Series and Integral Transforms

Dmitrii Karp, Holon Institute of Technology, Holon, Israel

October 15, 2024, 2:00 pm

Abstract: Elementary, but very useful lemma due to Biernacki and Krzyz (1955) asserts that the ratio of two power series inherits monotonicity from that of the sequence of ratios of their corresponding coefficients. Over the last two decades it has been realized that, under some additional assumptions, similar claims hold for more general series ratios and integral transforms as well as for unimodality in place of monotonicity. In the talk, we discuss conditions on the functional sequence and the kernel of an integral transform ensuring such property. Numerous series and integral transforms appearing in applications satisfy our sufficient conditions, including Dirichlet, factorial and inverse factorial series, Laplace, Mellin and generalized Stieltjes transforms, among many others. The key role in our considerations is played by the notion of sign regularity.

Complex Dirac structures on flag manifolds

Carlos Augusto Bassani Varea, Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, Brazil

January 23, 2024, 2:00 pm

Abstract:

In this talk we present a description of the invariant complex Dirac structures with constant real index on a maximal flag manifold in terms of the roots of the Lie algebra which defines the flag manifold. As a particular case, when the real index is zero, we have the description of all invariant generalized complex structures on a maximal flag manifold. We also present a classification of the complex Dirac structures under the action of B-transformation. This is a joint work with Cristian Ortiz (IME-USP).
