holonomy group
1Holonomy — Parallel transport on a sphere depends on the path. Transporting from A → N → B → A yields a vector different from the initial vector. This failure to return to the initial vector is measured by the holonomy of the connection. In differential… …
2Calabi–Yau manifold — In mathematics, Calabi ndash;Yau manifolds are compact Kähler manifolds whose canonical bundle is trivial. They were named Calabi ndash;Yau spaces by physicists in 1985, [cite journal | author = Candelas, Horowitz, Strominger and Witten | year =… …
3G2 manifold — A G 2 manifold is a seven dimensional Riemannian manifold with holonomy group G 2. The group G 2 is one of the five exceptional simple Lie groups. It can be described as the automorphism group of the octonions, or equivalently, as a proper… …
4Hyperkähler manifold — In differential geometry, a hyperkähler manifold is a Riemannian manifold of dimension 4 k and holonomy group contained in Sp( k ) (here Sp( k ) denotes a compact form of a symplectic group, identifiedwith the group of quaternionic linear unitary …
5Quaternion-Kähler manifold — In differential geometry, a quaternion Kähler manifold (or quaternionic Kähler manifold) is a Riemannian manifold whose Riemannian holonomy group is a subgroup of Sp( n )·Sp(1). Another, more explicit, definition, uses a 3 dimensional subbundle H …
6Parallel transport — In geometry, parallel transport is a way of transporting geometrical data along smooth curves in a manifold. If the manifold is equipped with an affine connection (a covariant derivative or connection on the tangent bundle), then this connection… …
7G₂ — In mathematics, G2 is the name of some Lie groups and also their Lie algebras mathfrak{g} 2. They are the smallest of the five exceptional simple Lie groups. G 2 has rank 2 and dimension 14. Its fundamental representation is 7 dimensional.The… …
8Connection (vector bundle) — This article is about connections on vector bundles. See connection (mathematics) for other types of connections in mathematics. In mathematics, a connection on a fiber bundle is a device that defines a notion of parallel transport on the bundle; …
9Symmetric space — In differential geometry, representation theory and harmonic analysis, a symmetric space is a smooth manifold whose group of symmetries contains an inversion symmetry about every point. There are two ways to make this precise. In Riemannian… …
10Differential geometry of surfaces — Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1828 In mathematics, the differential geometry of surfaces deals with smooth surfaces with various additional structures, most often, a Riemannian metric. Surfaces have been extensively studied from various perspectives:… …
