Projective relatedness and conformal flatness

Graham Hall (2012)

Open Mathematics

This paper discusses the connection between projective relatedness and conformal flatness for 4-dimensional manifolds admitting a metric of signature (+,+,+,+) or (+,+,+,−). It is shown that if one of the manifolds is conformally flat and not of the most general holonomy type for that signature then, in general, the connections of the manifolds involved are the same and the second manifold is also conformally flat. Counterexamples are provided which place limitations on the potential strengthening...

Quasi-Einstein hypersurfaces in semi-Riemannian space forms

Ryszard Deszcz, Marian Hotloś, Zerrin Sentürk (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We investigate curvature properties of hypersurfaces of a semi-Riemannian space form satisfying R·C = LQ(S,C), which is a curvature condition of pseudosymmetry type. We prove that under some additional assumptions the ambient space of such hypersurfaces must be semi-Euclidean and that they are quasi-Einstein Ricci-semisymmetric manifolds.

Ruled W-surfaces in Minkowski 3-space 1 3

Rashad A. Abdel-Baky, H. N. Abd-Ellah (2008)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper, we study a spacelike (timelike) ruled W-surface in Minkowski 3-space which satisfies nontrivial relation between elements of the set { K , K I I , H , H I I } , where ( K , H ) and ( K I I , H I I ) are the Gaussian and mean curvatures of the first and second fundamental forms, respectively. Finally, some examples are constructed and plotted.

Self-duality and pointwise Osserman manifolds

Dimitri V. Alekseevsky, Novica Blažić, Neda Bokan, Zoran Rakić (1999)

Archivum Mathematicum

This paper is a contribution to the mathematical modelling of the hump effect. We present a mathematical study (existence, homogenization) of a Hamilton-Jacobi problem which represents the propagation of a front f lame in a striated media.
