Structure of second-order symmetric Lorentzian manifolds

Oihane F. Blanco, Miguel Sánchez, José M. Senovilla (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 - 𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑦𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝐿𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑧𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠 , that is to say, Lorentzian manifolds with vanishing second derivative R 0 of the curvature tensor R , are characterized by several geometric properties, and explicitly presented. Locally, they are a product M = M 1 × M 2 where each factor is uniquely determined as follows: M 2 is a Riemannian symmetric space and M 1 is either a constant-curvature Lorentzian space or a definite type of plane wave generalizing the Cahen–Wallach family. In the proper case (i.e., R 0 at some point), the curvature tensor turns out to...

Sur l'holonomie des variétés pseudo-riemanniennes de signature (2,2+n).

A. Ikemakhen (1999)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

In this paper, we determine a class of possible restricted holonomy groups for a non-irreducible indecomposable pseudoriemannian manifold with signature (2,2 + n). In particular, we deduce that which associated to symmetric spaces; and give some examples of such spaces. Finally, we construct some examples of metrics whose restricted holonomy groups are not closed.
