Algebraic Connections and Curvature in Fibrations Bundles of Associative Algebras

Igor M. Burlakov (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

In this article fibrations of associative algebras on smooth manifolds are investigated. Sections of these fibrations are spinor, co spinor and vector fields with respect to a gauge group. Invariant differentiations are constructed and curvature and torsion of invariant differentiations are calculated.

Isotropic curvature: A survey

Harish Seshadri (2007-2008)

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

Similarity:

We discuss the notion of isotropic curvature of a Riemannian manifold and relations between the sign of this curvature and the geometry and topology of the manifold.

Unit tangent sphere bundles with constant scalar curvature

Eric Boeckx, Lieven Vanhecke (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

As a first step in the search for curvature homogeneous unit tangent sphere bundles we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a manifold to have a unit tangent sphere bundle with constant scalar curvature. We give complete classifications for low dimensions and for conformally flat manifolds. Further, we determine when the unit tangent sphere bundle is Einstein or Ricci-parallel.

Geometrization of three manifolds and Perelman's proof.

Joan Porti (2008)

RACSAM

Similarity:

This is a survey about Thurston’s geometrization conjecture of three manifolds and Perelman’s proof with the Ricci flow. In particular we review the essential contribution of Hamilton as well as some results in topology relevants for the proof.
