Cocalibrated G 2 -manifolds with Ricci flat characteristic connection

Thomas Friedrich (2013)

Communications in Mathematics

Similarity:

Any 7-dimensional cocalibrated G 2 -manifold admits a unique connection with skew symmetric torsion (see [8]). We study these manifolds under the additional condition that the -Ricci tensor vanish. In particular we describe their geometry in case of a maximal number of -parallel vector fields.

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...

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...
