In view of solution to the Hilbert fourth problem, the present study engages to investigate the projectively flat special (𝛼, 𝛽)-metric and the generalised first approximate Matsumoto (𝛼, 𝛽)-metric, where 𝛼 is a Riemannian metric and 𝛽 is a differential one-form. Further, we concluded that 𝛼 is locally Projectively flat and have 𝛽 is parallel with respect to 𝛼 for both the metrics. Also, we obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the aforementioned metrics to be locally projectively flat.

Let (M^2m, 𝜑, g) be a B-manifold. In this paper, we introduce a new class of metric on (M^2m, 𝜑, g), obtained by a non-conformal deformation of the metric g, called a generalized Berger-type deformed metric. First we investigate the Levi-Civita connection of this metric. Secondly we characterize the Riemannian curvature, the sectional curvature and the scalar curvature. Finally, we study the proper biharmonicity of the identity map and of a curve on M with respect to a generalized Berger-type deformed metric.

In this paper, we study the unicorn's Landsberg problem from an intrinsic point of view. Precisely, we investigate a coordinate-free proof of Numata's theorem on Landsberg spaces of scalar curvature. In other words, following the pullback approach to Finsler geometry, we prove that all Landsberg spaces of dimension n ≥ 3 of non-zero scalar curvature are Riemannian spaces of constant curvature.

B. Y. Chen introduced a series of curvature invariants, known as Chen invariants, and proved sharp estimates for these intrinsic invariants in terms of the main extrinsic invariant, the squared mean curvature, for submanifolds in Riemannian space forms. Special classes of submanifolds in Sasakian manifolds play an important role in contact geometry. F. Defever, I. Mihai and L. Verstraelen [8] established Chen first inequality for C-totally real submanifolds in Sasakian space forms. Also, the differential geometry of slant submanifolds has shown an increasing development since B. Y. Chen defined slant submanifolds in complex manifolds as a generalization of both holomorphic and totally real submanifolds. The slant submanifolds of an almost contact metric manifolds were defined and studied by A. Lotta, J. L. Cabrerizo et al. A Chen first inequality for slant submanifolds in Sasakian space forms was established by A. Carriazo [4]. In this article, we improve this Chen first inequality for special contact slant submanifolds in Sasakian space forms.

Partial differential equations on a Riemannain manifold is one of the most important areas in differential geometry. In this article, we survey the role of parabolic equations on some of the main results of differential geometry and topology, especially in the modern mathematical history. Also, we introduce some recent research in this area.

This paper propose a novel method for tracking moving object based on covariance matrix and Riemannian Manifolds. With image backgrounds continuously changed, we use the covariance matrices to extract features for tracking nonrigid object undergoing transformation and deformation. The covariance matrix can make fusion of different types of features and has its small dimension, therefore we enable to handle the spatial and statistical properties as well as the component correlation. The proposed method can estimate the position of the moving object by employing the covariance matrix of object region as a feature vector and comparing the candidate regions. Rimannian Geometry is efficiently adapted to object deformation and change of shape and improve the accuracy by using geodesic distance to predict the estimated position with the minimum distance. The experimental results have shown that the proposed method correctly tracked the moving object.

The various deformation spaces associated with maximal geometric structures on closed oriented 3-manifolds was studied in [2], leaving out the geometry of $\mathbb{R}^3$. In this paper, we study the Weil spaces and Teichm$\ddot{u}$ller spaces of non-orientable 3-dimensional flat Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we find the Teichm$\ddot{u}$ller spaces are homeomorphic to the Euclidean spaces $\mathbb{R}^4$ or $\mathbb{R}^3$ depending on the holonomy group $\mathbb{Z}_2$ or $\mathbb{Z}_2{\times}\mathbb{Z}_2$ respectively.

In this paper, we describe H. Hopf's life and works from the historical point of view. We have a very brief mention of history and results prior to Hopf. He raised the question of the topological implications of the sign of curvature. We discuss his contributions in the field of Riemannian geometry.

In [3] and [4], Kitahara, Pak and the author obtained the conformally invariant tensor $B_0$, which is an algebraic Hermitian analogue of the Weyl conformal curvature tensor W in the Riemannian geometry, by the decomposition of the curvature tensor H of the Hermitian connection and the notion of semi-curvature-like tensors of Tanno (see[7]). In [5], the author defined a conformally invariant tensor $B_0$ on a Hermitian manifold as a modification of $B_0$. Moreover he introduced the notion of local conformal Hermitian-flatness of Hermitian manifolds and proved that the vanishing of this tensor $B_0$ together with some condition for the scalar curvatures is a necessary and sufficient condition for a Hermitian manifold to be locally conformally Hermitian-flat.

In this paper, our main objective is to introduce the notion of conformal hemi-slant submersions from almost Hermitian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds as a generalized case of conformal anti-invariant submersions, conformal semi-invariant submersions and conformal slant submersions. We mainly focus on conformal hemi-slant submersions from Kähler manifolds. During this manner, we tend to study and investigate integrability of the distributions which are arisen from the definition of the submersions and the geometry of leaves of such distributions. Moreover, we tend to get necessary and sufficient conditions for these submersions to be totally geodesic for such manifolds. We also provide some quality examples of conformal hemi-slant submersions.
