We find a $C^{\infty}$-continuous path of Riemannian metrics $g_t$ on $\mathbb{R}^k$, $k{\geq}3$, for $0{\leq}t{\leq}{\varepsilon}$ for some number ${\varepsilon}$ > 0 with the following property: $g_0$ is the Euclidean metric on $\mathbb{R}^k$, the scalar curvatures of $g_t$ are strictly decreasing in $t$ in the open unit ball and $g_t$ is isometric to the Euclidean metric in the complement of the ball. Furthermore we extend the discussion to the Fubini-Study metric in a similar way.

In this paper, we shall prove several results concerning Ricci curvature of a Riemannian manifold (M, g) := (SU(2), g) with an arbitrary given left invariant metric g. First of all, we obtain the maximum (resp. minimum) of {r(X) := Ric(X,X) | ${||X||}_g$ = 1,X ${\in}$ X(M)}, where Ric is the Ricci tensor field on (M, g), and then get a necessary and sufficient condition for the Levi-Civita connection ${\nabla}$ on the manifold (M, g) to be projectively flat. Furthermore, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the Ricci curvature r(X) to be always positive (resp. negative), independently of the choice of unit vector field X.

On the hyperbolic space $D^n$, codimension-one totally geodesic foliations of class $C^k$ are classified. Except for the unique parabolic homogeneous foliation, the set of all such foliations is in one-one correspondence (up to isometry) with the set of all functions z : [0, $\pi$] $\rightarrow$ $S^{n-1}$ of class $C^{k-1}$ with z(0) = $e_1$ = z($\pi$) satisfying |z'(r)| ${\leq}1$ for all r, modulo an isometric action by O(n-1) ${\times}\mathbb{R}{\times}\mathbb{Z}_2$. Since 1-dimensional metric foliations on $D^n$ are always either homogeneous or flat (that is, their orthogonal distributions are integrable), this classifies all 1-dimensional metric foliations as well. Equations of leaves for a non-trivial family of metric foliations on $D^2$ (called "fifth-line") are found.

A theorem of Robert Blumenthal is used here in order to obtain a sufficient condition for a function between two Finsler manifolds to be a fibre bundle map. Our study is connected with two possible constructions: 1) a Finslerian generalization of usually Kaluza-Klein theories which use Riemannian metrics, the well-known particular case of Finsler metrics, 2) a Finslerian version of reduction process from geometric mechanics. Due to a condition in the Blumenthal's result the completeness of Euler-Lagrange vector fields of Finslerian type is discussed in detail and two situations yielding completeness are given: one concerning the energy and a second related to Finslerian fundamental function. The connection of our last framework, namely a regular Lagrangian having the energy as a proper (in topological sense) function, with the celebrated $Poincar{\acute{e}}$ Recurrence Theorem is pointed out.

In this paper, we obtain the criteria that the Riemannian manifold B is Einstein or a gradient Ricci soliton from the information of the second derivative of $f$ in the warped product space $R{\times}_fB$ with gradient Ricci solitons. Moreover, we construct new examples of non-Einstein gradient Ricci soliton spaces with an Einstein or non-Einstein gradient Ricci soliton leaf using our main theorems. Finally we also get analogous criteria for the Lorentzian version.

The manifold $^{\ast}g-ESX_n$ is a generalized n-dimensional Riemannian manifold on which the differential geometric structure is imposed by the unified field tensor $^{\ast}g^{{\lambda}{\nu}}$ through the ES-connection which is both Einstein and semi-symmetric. The purpose of the present paper is to derive a new set of powerful recurrence relations and to prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a unique Einstein's connection to exist in 5-dimensional $^{\ast}g-ESX_5$ and to display a surveyable tnesorial representation of 5-dimensional Einstein's connection in terms of the unified field tensor, employing the powerful recurrence relations in the second class.

A generalized n-dimensional Riemannian manifold $X_n$ on which the differential geometric structure is imposed by the unified field tensor $^*g^{{\lambda}{\nu}}$, satisfying certain conditions, through the $^*g$-ME-connection which is both Einstein's equation and of the form(3.1) is called $^*g$-ME-manifold and we denote it by $^*g-MEX_n$. In this paper, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of $^*g$-ME-connection and derive a surveyable tensorial representation of the $^*g$-ME-connection and the $^*g$-ME-vector in $^*g-MEX_n$.

This paper proposes an interaction field concept based on the field theory of plasticity. Relative deformation between two arbitrary scales, e.g., macro and micro fields, is defined which can be implemented in the crystal plasticity-based constitutive framework. Differential geometrical quantities responsible for describing dislocations and defects in the interaction field are obtained, based on which dislocation density and incompatibility tensors are further derived. It is shown that the explicit interaction exists in the curvature or incompatibility tensor field, whereas no interaction in the torsion or dislocation density tensor field. General expressions of the interaction fields over multiple scales with more than three scale levels are derived and implemented into the present constitutive equation.

The theoretical framework of the interaction fields for multiple scales based on field theory is applied to one-dimensional problem mimicking dislocation substructure sensitive intra-granular inhomogeneity evolution under fatigue of Cu-added steels. Three distinct scale levels corresponding respectively to the orders of (A)dislocation substructures, (B)grain size and (C)grain aggregates are set-up based on FE-RKPM (reproducing kernel particle method) based interpolated strain distribution to obtain the incompatibility term in the interaction field. Comparisons between analytical conditions with and without the interaction, and that among different cell size in the scale A are simulated. The effect of interaction field on the B-scale field evolution is extensively examined. Finer and larger fluctuation is demonstrated to be obtained by taking account of the field interactions. Finer cell size exhibits larger field fluctuation whereas the coarse cell size yields negligible interaction effects.

Lower dimensional cases of Einstein's connection were already investigated by many authors for n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. This paper is the first part of the following series of two papers, in which we obtain a surveyable tensorial representation of 8-dimensional Einstein's connection in terms of the unified field tensor, with main emphasis on the derivation of powerful and useful recurrence relations which hold in 8-dimensional Einstein's unified field theory(i.e., 8-g-UFT): I. The recurrence relations in 8-g-UFT II. The Einstein's connection in 8-g-UFT All considerations in these papers are restricted to the second class only, since the case of the first class are done in [1], [2] and the case of the third class, the simplest case, was already studied by many authors.
