Various concepts of invariant monotone vector fields on Riemannian manifolds are introduced. Some examples of invariant monotone vector fields are given. Several notions of invexities for functions on Riemannian manifolds are defined and their relations with invariant monotone vector fields are stud

Alntract. This paper is devoted to a systematic presentation of the essential results of research on a~ne conformal vector fields (ACV) and to exhibit the state of art as it now stands. Of particular interest is the new information on the existence of ACVs in compact orientable semi-Riemannian manif
We study the stability and instability of harmonic and minimal unit vector fields and the existence of absolute minima for the energy and volume functional on three-dimensional compact manifolds, in particular on compact quotients of unimodular Lie groups.
The notion of being totally umbilic is considered for non-degenerate and degenerate submanifolds of semi-Riemannian manifolds. After some remarks on the general case, timelike and lightlike totally umbilic submanifolds of Lorentzian manifolds are discussed, along with their physical interpretation i
