Ricci curvature for hydrodynamics on the sphere
Leandro Lichtenfelz, Klas Modin, Stephen C. Preston
The geometric description of incompressible hydrodynamics, as geodesic motion on the infinite-dimensional group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms, enables notions of curvature i…

Conjugate points on Lie groups with left-invariant metrics
Alice Le Brigant, Leandro Lichtenfelz, Stephen C. Preston
We prove sufficient conditions for the existence of conjugate points along geodesics of a left-invariant metric on a Lie group, using a reformulation of the index form in terms of…
