Impossible Einstein-Weyl geometries

Eastwood, Michael

Similarity:

In the joint paper of the author with [J. Reine Angew. Math. 491, 183-198 (1997; Zbl 0876.53029)] they showed all local solutions of the Einstein-Weyl equations in three dimensions, where the background metric is homogeneous with unimodular isometry group. In particular, they proved that there are no solutions with Nil or Sol as background metric. In this note, these two special cases are presented.

Weyl submersions of Weyl manifolds

Fumio Narita (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We define Weyl submersions, for which we derive equations analogous to the Gauss and Codazzi equations for an isometric immersion. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the total space of a Weyl submersion to admit an Einstein-Weyl structure. Moreover, we investigate the Einstein-Weyl structure of canonical variations of the total space with Einstein-Weyl structure.

Selfdual spaces with complex structures, Einstein-Weyl geometry and geodesics

David M J. Calderbank, Henrik Pedersen (2000)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We study the Jones and Tod correspondence between selfdual conformal 4 -manifolds with a conformal vector field and abelian monopoles on Einstein-Weyl 3 -manifolds, and prove that invariant complex structures correspond to shear-free geodesic congruences. Such congruences exist in abundance and so provide a tool for constructing interesting selfdual geometries with symmetry, unifying the theories of scalar-flat Kähler metrics and hypercomplex structures with symmetry. We also show that...

Spinor equations in Weyl geometry

Buchholz, Volker

Similarity:

This paper deals with Dirac, twistor and Killing equations on Weyl manifolds with C -spin structures. A conformal Schrödinger-Lichnerowicz formula is presented and used to derive integrability conditions for these equations. It is shown that the only non-closed Weyl manifolds of dimension greater than 3 that admit solutions of the real Killing equation are 4-dimensional and non-compact. Any Weyl manifold of dimension greater than 3, that admits a real Killing spinor has to be Einstein-Weyl. ...
