Connection induced geometrical concepts

Musilová, Pavla, Musilová, Jana

Similarity:

Summary: Geometrical concepts induced by a smooth mapping f : M → N of manifolds with linear connections are introduced, especially the (higher order) covariant differentials of the mapping tangent to f and the curvature of a corresponding tensor product connection. As an useful and physically meaningful consequence a basis of differential invariants for natural operators of such smooth mappings is obtained for metric connections. A relation to geometry of Riemannian manifolds is discussed. ...

Generalized Kählerian manifolds and transformation of generalized contact structures

Habib Bouzir, Gherici Beldjilali, Mohamed Belkhelfa, Aissa Wade (2017)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, new generalized Kähler manifolds are constructed starting from both classical almost contact metric and almost Kählerian manifolds. Second, the transformation construction on classical Riemannian manifolds is extended to the generalized geometry setting.

A short introduction to shadows of 4-manifolds

Francesco Costantino (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We give a self-contained introduction to the theory of shadows as a tool to study smooth 3-manifolds and 4-manifolds. The goal of the present paper is twofold: on the one hand, it is intended to be a shortcut to a basic use of the theory of shadows, on the other hand it gives a sketchy overview of some of the most recent results on shadows. No original result is proved here and most of the details of the proofs are left out.

Similarity:

We prove that four manifolds diffeomorphic on the complement of a point have the same Donaldson invariants.
