This paper deals with the Paneitz-Branson operator in compact Riemannian manifolds with negative Yamabe invariant. We start off by providing a new criterion for the positivity of the Paneitz-Branson operator when the Yamabe invariant of the manifold is negative. Another result stated in this paper is about the existence of a metric on a manifold of dimension 5 such that the Paneitz-Branson operator has multiple negative eigenvalues. Finally, we provide new inequalities related to the upper bound of the mean value of the Q-curvature.

In the Finsler space with an $(\alpha, \beta)$-metric, we can consider the difference tensors of the Finsler connection. The properties of the conformal transformation of these difference tensors are investigated in the present paper. Some conformal invariant tensors are formed in the Finsler space with an $(\alpha, \beta)$-metric related with the difference tensors.

Necessary conditions for the existence of common fixed points for noncommuting mappings satisfying generalized contractive conditions in a Menger convex metric space are obtained. As an application, related results on best approximation are derived. Our results generalize various well known results.

In this paper, we deal with random attractors for dynamical systems forced by a deterministic noise. These kind of systems are modeled as skew products where the dynamics of the forcing process are described by the base transformation. Here, we consider skew products over the Bernoulli shift with the unit interval fiber. We study the geometric structure of maximal attractors, the orbit stability and stability of mixing of these skew products under random perturbations of the fiber maps. We show that there exists an open set U in the space of such skew products so that any skew product belonging to this set admits an attractor which is either a continuous invariant graph or a bony graph attractor. These skew products have negative fiber Lyapunov exponents and their fiber maps are non-uniformly contracting, hence the non-uniform contraction rates are measured by Lyapnnov exponents. Furthermore, each skew product of U admits an invariant ergodic measure whose support is contained in that attractor. Additionally, we show that the invariant measure for the perturbed system is continuous in the Hutchinson metric.

A characterization of the C-projective vector fields on a Randers space is presented in terms of 𝚵-curvature. It is proved that the 𝚵-curvature is invariant for C-projective vector fields. The dimension of the algebra of the C-projective vector fields on an n-dimensional Randers space is at most n(n + 2). The generalized Funk metrics on the n-dimensional Euclidean unit ball 𝔹ⁿ(1) are shown to be explicit examples of the Randers metrics with a C-projective algebra of maximum dimension n(n+2). Then, it is also proved that an n-dimensional Randers space has a C-projective algebra of maximum dimension n(n + 2) if and only if it is locally Minkowskian or (up to re-scaling) locally isometric to the generalized Funk metric. A new projective invariant is also introduced.

Let M be a semi-invariant submanifold of codimension 3 with almost contact metric structure (��, ξ, η, g) in a complex space form Mn+1(c), c ≠ 0. We denote by Rξ = R(·, ξ)ξ and A(i) be Jacobi operator with respect to the structure vector field ξ and be the second fundamental form in the direction of the unit normal C(i), respectively. Suppose that the third fundamental form t satisfies dt(X, Y ) = 2��g(��X, Y ) for certain scalar ��(≠ 2c)and any vector fields X and Y and at the same time Rξ is ��∇ξξ-parallel, then M is a Hopf hypersurface in Mn(c) provided that it satisfies RξA(1) = A(1)Rξ, RξA(2) = A(2)Rξ and ${\bar{r}}-2(n-1)c{\leq}0$, where ${\bar{r}}$ denotes the scalar curvature of M.

Let M be a semi-invariant submanifold of codimension 3 with almost contact metric structure (φ, ξ, η, g) in a complex space form M_n+1(c). We denote by R_ξ the structure Jacobi operator with respect to the structure vector field ξ and by ${\bar{r}}$ the scalar curvature of M. Suppose that R_ξ is φ∇_ξξ-parallel and at the same time the third fundamental form t satisfies dt(X, Y) = 2θg(φX, Y) for a scalar θ(≠ 2c) and any vector fields X and Y on M. In this paper, we prove that if it satisfies R_ξφ = φR_ξ, then M is a Hopf hypersurface of type (A) in M_n+1(c) provided that ${\bar{r}-2(n-1)c}$ ≤ 0.

In this paper, we mainly study the problem of the existence of homogeneous geodesics in sub-Finsler manifolds. Firstly, we obtain a characterization of a homogeneous curve to be a geodesic. Then we show that every compact connected homogeneous sub-Finsler manifold and Carnot group admits at least one homogeneous geodesic through each point. Finally, we study a special class of ℓ^p-type bi-invariant metrics on compact semi-simple Lie groups. We show that every homogeneous curve in such a metric space is a geodesic. Moreover, we prove that the Alexandrov curvature of the metric space is neither non-positive nor non-negative.

Let G be a compact connected semisimple Lie group, B the Killing form of the algebra g of G, and g the invariant metric induced by B. Then, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a left invariant linear connection D with a Weyl structure ($D,\;g,\;{\omega}$) on (G, g) to be projectively flat (resp. Einstein-Weyl). And, we also get that if a left invariant linear connection D with a Weyl structure ($D,\;g,\;{\omega}$) on (G, g) which has symmetric Ricci tensor $Ric^D$ is projectively flat, then the connection D is Einstein-Weyl; but the converse is not true. Moreover, we show that if a left invariant connection D with Weyl structure ($D,\;g,\;{\omega}$) on (G, g) is projectively flat (resp. Einstein-Weyl), then D is a Yang-Mills connection.
