In a Lie group equipped with a left-invariant metric, we study the minimizing properties of geodesics through the presence of conjugate points. We give criteria for the existence of conjugate points along steady and nonsteady geodesics, using different strategies in each case. We consider both general Lie groups and quadratic Lie groups, where the metric in the Lie algebra $g(u,v)=langle u,Lambda vrangle$ is defined from a bi-invariant bilinear form and a symmetric positive definite operator $Lambda$. By way of illustration, we apply our criteria to $SO(n)$ equipped with a generalized version of the rigid body metric, and to Lie groups arising from Cheeger's deformation technique, which include Zeitlin's $SU(3)$ model of hydrodynamics on the $2$-sphere. Along the way we obtain formulas for the Ricci curvatures in these examples, showing that conjugate points occur even in the presence of some negative curvature.

We study isometric immersions $f: M^n rightarrow mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ into hyperbolic space of dimension $n+1$ of a complete Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ on which a compact connected group of intrinsic isometries acts with principal orbits of codimension one. We provide a characterization if either $n geq 3$ and $M^n$ is compact, or $n geq 5$ and the connected components of the set where the sectional curvature is constant and equal to $-1$ are bounded.

We give a lower bound for the delta invariant of the fundamental divisor of a quasi-smooth weighted hypersurface. As a consequence, we prove K-stability of a large class of quasi-smooth Fano hypersurfaces of index 1 and of all smooth Fano weighted hypersurfaces of index 1 and 2. The proofs are based on the Abban--Zhuang method and on the study of linear systems on flags of weighted hypersurfaces.

We prove a blow-up formula for Bott-Chern characteristic classes of compact complex manifolds. To this end, we establish a version of Riemann-Roch without denominators for the Bott-Chern characteristic classes. In particular, as an application, we study the behaviour of the Bott-Chern characteristic classes of the Iwasawa manifold under a blow-up transformation.

In this article, we compute the limit of the Wang--Yau quasi-local mass on a family of surfaces approaching the apparent horizon (the near horizon limit). Such limit is first considered in [1]. Recently, Pook-Kolb, Zhao, Andersson, Krishnan, and Yau investigated the near horizon limit of the Wang--Yau quasi-local mass in binary black hole mergers in [12] and conjectured that the optimal embeddings approach the isometric embedding of the horizon into $R^3$. Moreover, the quasi-local mass converges to the total mean curvature of the image. The vanishing of the norm of the mean curvature vector implies special properties for the Wang--Yau quasi-local energy and the optimal embedding equation. We utilize these features to prove the existence and uniqueness of the optimal embedding and investigate the minimization of the Wang--Yau quasi-local energy. In particular, we prove the continuity of the quasi-local mass in the near horizon limit.

The notion of a emph{higher-order algebroid}, as introduced in cite{MJ_MR_HA_comorph_2018}, generalizes the concepts of a higher-order tangent bundle $tau^k_M: mathrm{T}^k M rightarrow M$ and a (Lie) algebroid. This idea is based on a (vector bundle) comorphism approach to (Lie) algebroids and the reduction procedure of homotopies from the level of Lie groupoids to that of Lie algebroids. In brief, an alternative description of a Lie algebroid $(A, [cdot, cdot], sharp)$ is a vector bundle comorphism $kappa$ defined as the dual of the Poisson map $varepsilon: mathrm{T}^ast A rightarrow mathrm{T} A^ast$ associated with the Lie algebroid $A$. The framework of comorphisms has proven to be a suitable language for describing higher-order analogues of Lie algebroids from the perspective of the role played by (Lie) algebroids in geometric mechanics. In this work, we uncover the classical algebraic structures underlying the mysterious description of higher-order algebroids through comorphisms. For the case where $k=2$, we establish one-to-one correspondence between higher-order Lie algebroids and pairs consisting of a two-term representation (up to homotopy) of a Lie algebroid and a morphism to the adjoint representation of this algebroid.

In differential geometry, the concept of golden structure, initially proposed by S. I. Goldberg and K. Yano in 1970, presents a compelling area with wide-ranging applications. The exploration of golden Riemannian manifolds was initiated by C. E. Hretcanu and M. Crasmareanu in 2008, following the principles of the golden structure. Subsequently, numerous researchers have contributed significant insights into golden Riemannian manifolds. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive survey on golden Riemannian manifold done over the past decade.

Utilizing the covariant formulation of Penrose's plane wave limit by Blau et al., we construct for any Riemannian metric $g$ a family of "plane wave limits" of one higher dimension. These limits are taken along geodesics of $g$, yield simpler metrics of Lorentzian signature, and are isometric invariants. They can also be seen to arise locally from a suitable expansion of $g$ in Fermi coordinates, and they directly encode much of $g$'s geometry. For example, normal Jacobi fields of $g$ are encoded as geodesics of its plane wave limits. Furthermore, $g$ will have constant sectional curvature if and only if each of its plane wave limits is locally conformally flat. In fact $g$ will be flat, or Ricci-flat, or geodesically complete, if and only if all of its plane wave limits are, respectively, the same. Many other curvature properties are preserved in the limit, including certain inequalities, such as signed Ricci curvature.
