The intrinsic torsion of almost quaternion-Hermitian manifolds

Francisco Martín Cabrera, Andrew Swann (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We study the intrinsic torsion of almost quaternion-Hermitian manifolds via the exterior algebra. In particular, we show how it is determined by particular three-forms formed from simple combinations of the exterior derivatives of the local Kähler forms. This gives a practical method to compute the intrinsic torsion and is applied in a number of examples. In addition we find simple characterisations of HKT and QKT geometries entirely in the exterior algebra and compute how the intrinsic...

An introduction to the abelian Reidemeister torsion of three-dimensional manifolds

Gwénaël Massuyeau (2011)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

Similarity:

These notes accompany some lectures given at the autumn school “” in October 2009. The abelian Reidemeister torsion for 3 -manifolds, and its refinements by Turaev, are introduced. Some applications, including relations between the Reidemeister torsion and other classical invariants, are surveyed.

Combinatorial differential geometry and ideal Bianchi–Ricci identities II – the torsion case

Josef Janyška, Martin Markl (2012)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

This paper is a continuation of [2], dealing with a general, not-necessarily torsion-free, connection. It characterizes all possible systems of generators for vector-field valued operators that depend naturally on a set of vector fields and a linear connection, describes the size of the space of such operators and proves the existence of an ‘ideal’ basis consisting of operators with given leading terms which satisfy the (generalized) Bianchi–Ricci identities without corrections. ...
