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...

Cocalibrated G 2 -manifolds with Ricci flat characteristic connection

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.
