Compact Riemannian Manifolds with Homogeneous Geodesics
A homogeneous Riemannian space is called a geodesic orbit space
(shortly, GO-space) if any geodesic is an orbit of one-parameter subgroup of
the isometry group . We study the structure of compact GO-spaces and give
some sufficient conditions for existence and non-existence of an invariant
metric with homogeneous geodesics on a homogeneous space of a compact Lie
group . We give a classification of compact simply connected GO-spaces of positive Euler characteristic. If the group is simple and the
metric does not come from a bi-invariant metric of , then is one of
the flag manifolds or and
is any invariant metric on which depends on two real parameters. In
both cases, there exists unique (up to a scaling) symmetric metric such
that is the symmetric space or, respectively,
. The manifolds , are weakly symmetric spaces
One property of a planar curve whose convex hull covers a given convex figure
In this note, we prove the following conjecture by A. Akopyan and V.
Vysotsky: If the convex hull of a planar curve covers a planar convex
figure , then . In addition, all cases of equality in this inequality
are studied.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
Perfect and almost perfect homogeneous polytopes
The paper is devoted to perfect and almost perfect homogeneous polytopes in
Euclidean spaces. We classified perfect and almost perfect polytopes among all
regular polytopes and all semiregular polytopes excepting Archimedean solids
and two four-dimensional Gosset polytopes. Also we construct some non-regular
homogeneous polytopes that are (or are not) perfect and posed some unsolved
questions.Comment: 18 pages, 2 figure
Legal Details of the International Organization INMARSAT
International Mobile Satellite Organization INMARSAT, established in 1976, has proven its viability and effectiveness by ensuring continuous interaction of states and national organizations in achieving common objectives of the creation and operation of its space segment for the purpose of providing commercial radio communication services for mobile sea, ground and air units, as well as non-commercial radio communication services, including services within the Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS). In this connection, it is of both academic and practical interest to study the details of INMARSAT’s international law nature. This international organisation is unique because, while having international legal personality, it is directly engaged in providing its space segment. This has affected the structure and content of INMARSAT’ foundation documents (Convention and Operational Agreement), the nature of its membership and content of its bodies’ functions, the rights and obligations of a member state and the national communications organisation nominated by it as the INMARSAT participant. An analysis of INMARSAT’s international law nature will allow to assess the extent to which its organizational and legal structure meets the requirements
