Curvature homogeneity of affine connections on two-dimensional manifolds

Oldřich Kowalski, Barbara Opozda, Zdeněk Vlášek (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Curvature homogeneity of (torsion-free) affine connections on manifolds is an adaptation of a concept introduced by I. M. Singer. We analyze completely the relationship between curvature homogeneity of higher order and local homogeneity on two-dimensional manifolds.

Horizontal lift of symmetric connections to the bundle of volume forms ν

Anna Gąsior (2010)

Annales UMCS, Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper we present the horizontal lift of a symmetric affine connection with respect to another affine connection to the bundle of volume forms ν and give formulas for its curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature. Next, we give some properties of the horizontally lifted vector fields and certain infinitesimal transformations. At the end, we consider some substructures of a F(3, 1)-structure on ν.
