In studying smooth 4-manifolds the Donaldson invariant has played a central role. In [D1] Donaldson showed that non-vanishing Donaldson invariant of a smooth closed oriented 4-manifold X gives rise to the indecomposability of X. For instance, the complex algebraic suface X cannot decompose to a connected sum $X_1 #X_2$ with both $b_2^+(X_i) > 0$.

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.

Methods of Riemannian geometry has played an important role in the study of compact transformation groups. Every effective action of a compact Lie group on a differential manifold leaves a Riemannian metric invariant and the study of such actions reduces to the one involving the group of isometries of a Riemannian metric on the manifold which is, a priori, a Lie group under the compact open topology. Once an action of a compact Lie group is given an invariant metric is easily constructed by the averaging method and the Lie group is naturally imbedded in the group of isometries as a Lie subgroup. But usually this invariant metric has more symmetries than those given by the original action. Therefore the first question one may ask is when one can find a Riemannian metric so that the given action coincides with the action of the full group of isometries. This seems to be a difficult question to answer which depends very much on the orbit structure and the group itself. In this paper we give a sufficient condition that a subgroup action of a compact Lie group has an invariant metric which is not invariant under the full action of the group and figure out some aspects of the action and the orbit structure regarding the invariant Riemannian metric. In fact, according to our results, this is possible if there is a larger transformation group, containing the oringnal action and either having larger orbit somewhere or having exactly the same orbit structure but with an orbit on which a Riemannian metric is ivariant under the orginal action of the group and not under that of the larger one. Recently R. Saerens and W. Zame showed that every compact Lie group can be realized as the full group of isometries of Riemannian metric. [SZ] This answers a question closely related to ours but the situation turns out to be quite different in the two problems.

We give a quotient of the ring ${\mathbb{Q}}[A^{{\pm}1},\;t^{{\pm}1]$ so that the Miyazawa polynomial is a non-trivial invariant of welded links. Furthermore we show that this is also an invariant under the other forbidden move $F_u$, and so it is a fused isotopy invariant. Also, we give some quotient ring so that the index polynomial can be an invariant for welded links.

In this paper, we show that the Euler characteristic of an even dimensional closed projectively flat manifold is equal to the total measure which is induced from a probability Borel measure on RP$^{n}$ invariant under the holonomy action, and then discuss its consequences and applications. As an application, we show that the Chen's conjecture is true for a closed affinely flat manifold whose holonomy group action permits an invariant probability Borel measure on RP$^{n}$ ; that is, such a closed affinly flat manifold has a vanishing Euler characteristic.

In this paper, we propose a method to estimate camera motion parameter based on invariant point features. Typically, feature information of image has drawbacks, it is variable to camera viewpoint, and therefore information quantity increases after time. The LM(Levenberg-Marquardt) method using nonlinear minimum square evaluation for camera extrinsic parameter estimation also has a weak point, which has different iteration number for approaching the minimal point according to the initial values and convergence time increases if the process run into a local minimum. In order to complement these shortfalls, we, first propose constructing feature models using invariant vector of geometry. Secondly, we propose a two-stage calculation method to improve accuracy and convergence by using homography and LM method. In the experiment, we compare and analyze the proposed method with existing method to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithms.

A common fixed point result of Gregus type for subcompatible mappings defined on a complete linear metric space is obtained. The considered underlying space is generalized from Banach space to complete linear metric spaces, which include Banach space and complete metrizable locally convex spaces. Invariant approximation results have also been determined as its application.

In this paper, we characterize some semi-invariant sub-manifolds of codimension 3 with almost contact metric structure ($\phi$, $\xi$, g) in a complex projective space $CP^{n+1}$ in terms of the structure tensor $\phi$, the Ricci tensor S and the Jacobi operator $R_\xi$ with respect to the structure vector $\xi$.

When the target manifold is a Sasakian or cosympletic space form, we characterize invariant immersions, tangential anti-invariant immersions and normal anti-invariant immersions by the spectra of the Jacobi operator.
