Nijenhuis geometry

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This work is the first, and main, of the series of papers in progress dedicated to Nienhuis operators, i.e., fields of endomorphisms with vanishing Nijenhuis tensor. It serves as an introduction to Nijenhuis Geometry that should be understood in much wider context than before: from local description at generic points to singularities and global analysis. The goal of the present paper is to introduce terminology, develop new important techniques (e.g., analytic functions of Nijenhuis operators, splitting theorem and linearisation), summarise and generalise basic facts (some of which are already known but we give new self-contained proofs), and more importantly, to demonstrate that the research programme proposed in the paper is realistic by proving a series of new, not at all obvious, results.


In this first paper of a series on the subject, the authors introduce the basic notions, techniques, and motivations on manifolds endowed with a field of endomorphisms with vanishing Nijenhuis tensor. Recall that the Nijenhuis tensor of a field of endomorphisms \(L\) is the vector-valued \(2\)-form defined as \(\mathcal N_L(v,w)=L^2[v,w]+[Lv,Lw]-L[Lv,w]-L[v,Lw]\). The ultimate goal of the authors is to study Nijenhuis geometry from local description at generic points to singularities and global analysis. In this paper, they introduce terminology, develope several techniques, and summarize and generalize basic facts.
