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.

Curvature homogeneous spaces whose curvature tensors have large symmetries

Kazumi Tsukada (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We study curvature homogeneous spaces or locally homogeneous spaces whose curvature tensors are invariant by the action of “large" Lie subalgebras 𝔥 of 𝔰𝔬 ( n ) . In this paper we deal with the cases of 𝔥 = 𝔰𝔬 ( r ) ⊕ 𝔰𝔬 ( n - r ) ( 2 ≤ r ≤ n - r ) , 𝔰𝔬 ( n - 2 ) , and the Lie algebras of Lie groups acting transitively on spheres, and classify such curvature homogeneous spaces or locally homogeneous spaces.
