In this paper we introduce metric-based means for the space of positive-definite matrices. The mean associated with the Euclidean metric of the ambient space is the usual arithmetic mean. The mean associated with the Riemannian metric corresponds to the geometric mean. We discuss some invariance properties of the Riemannian mean and we use differential geometric tools to give a characterization of this mean.

Integral formulas in Riemannian geometry

,by Darryl D. Holm, Tanya Schmah and Cristina Stoica, Oxford University Press,Oxford, 2009, xi + 515 pp., ISBN: 978-0-19-921290-3The purpose of the book is to provide the unifying viewpoint of Lagrangian andHamiltonian mechanics in the coordinate-free language of differential geometryin the spirit of the Marsden-Ratiu school. The book is similar in content - althoughless formal - to the book by J. Marsden and T. Ratiu [7]. One can also mentionthe companion two-volumes book by Holm [4,5] written at a more basic level,and that one can recommend as an introductory reading. The classical treatises onthe subject are the books by Abraham-Marsden [1], Arnold [2] and Libermann-Marle [6].Typical applications are N-particle systems, rigid bodies, continua such as u-ids and electromagnetic systems that illustrate the powerfulness of the adoptedpoint of view. The geometrical structure allows the covering of both the nite-dimensional conservative case (rst part of the book) and the innite dimensionalsituation in the second part. The notion of symmetry here is central, as it allowsa reduction of the number of dimensions of the mechanical systems, and furtherexploits the conserved quantities (momentum map) associated to symmetry. Liegroup symmetries, Poisson reduction and momentum maps are rst discussed.The concepts are introduced in a progressive and clear manner in the rst part ofthe book. The second part devoted to innite dimensional systems is motivatedby the identication of Euler’s ideal uid motion with the geodesic o w on thegroup of volume-preserving diffeomorphism. The Euler-PoincarO (EP) variationalprinciple for the Euler uid equations is exposed in the framework of geometricmechanics, in association with Lie-Poisson Hamiltonian structure of Noether’stheorem and momentum maps. Original applications of the Euler-PoincarO equa-tions to solitons, computational anatomy, image matching, or geophysical uiddynamics are given at the end of the second part of the book.Here the rst chapter recapitulates the Newtonian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian117

Exact Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations: Notation

In this paper, we study almost quasi-Yamabe solitons and gradient almost quasi-Yamabe solitons in 3-dimensional f-Kenmotsu manifolds.

Almost quasi-Yamabe solitons and gradient almost quasi-Yamabe solitons in f-kenmotsu manifolds

The aim of the present paper is to obtain the condition under which a pseudosymmetric spacetime to be a perfect fluid spacetime. It is proven that a pseudosymmetric generalized Robertson-Walker spacetime is a perfect fluid spacetime. Moreover, we establish that a conformally flat pseudosymmetric spacetime is a generalized Robertson-Walker spacetime. Next, it is shown that a pseudosymmetric dust fluid with constant scalar curvature satisfying Einstein's field equations without cosmological constant is vacuum. Finally, we construct a non-trivial example of pseudosymmetric spacetime.

Abstract In this article, we present a new tensor that generalizes the conharmonic curvature tensor, termed the ψ-conharmonic curvature tensor. In the first part, we derive some fundamental geometrical properties of a pseudo ψ-conharmonically symmetric manifold (briefly, ) and give some fascinating outcomes. Among others, we establish that an Einstein manifold is of zero scalar curvature. Besides, we investigate ψ-conharmonically flat perfect fluid and spacetimes, respectively. As a result, we acquire some significant theorems. Finally, we construct several non-trivial examples to establish the existence of .
