Metrization problem for linear connections and holonomy algebras

Alena Vanžurová (2008)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We contribute to the following: given a manifold endowed with a linear connection, decide whether the connection arises from some metric tensor. Compatibility condition for a metric is given by a system of ordinary differential equations. Our aim is to emphasize the role of holonomy algebra in comparison with certain more classical approaches, and propose a possible application in the Calculus of Variations (for a particular type of second order system of ODE’s, which define geodesics...

Non-Riemannian gravitational interactions

Robin Tucker, Charles Wang (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Recent developments in theories of non-Riemannian gravitational interactions are outlined. The question of the motion of a fluid in the presence of torsion and metric gradient fields is approached in terms of the divergence of the Einstein tensor associated with a general connection. In the absence of matter the variational equations associated with a broad class of actions involving non-Riemannian fields give rise to an Einstein-Proca system associated with the standard Levi-Civita...

On metrizability of locally homogeneous affine 2-dimensional manifolds

Alena Vanžurová (2013)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

In [19] we proved a theorem which shows how to find, under particular assumptions guaranteeing metrizability (among others, recurrency of the curvature is necessary), all (at least local) pseudo-Riemannian metrics compatible with a given torsion-less linear connection without flat points on a two-dimensional affine manifold. The result has the form of an implication only; if there are flat points, or if curvature is not recurrent, we have no good answer in general, which can be also...
