Lorentzian similarity manifolds

Yoshinobu Kamishima (2012)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

An (m+2)-dimensional Lorentzian similarity manifold M is an affine flat manifold locally modeled on (G,ℝm+2), where G = ℝm+2 ⋊ (O(m+1, 1)×ℝ+). M is also a conformally flat Lorentzian manifold because G is isomorphic to the stabilizer of the Lorentzian group PO(m+2, 2) of the Lorentz model S m+1,1. We discuss the properties of compact Lorentzian similarity manifolds using developing maps and holonomy representations.

∇-flat functions on manifolds

Wojciech Kozłowski (2004)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We investigate ∇-flat and pointwise-∇-flat functions on affine and Riemannian manifolds. We show that the set of all ∇-flat functions on (M,∇) is a ring which has interesting properties similar to the ring of polynomial functions.

Lorentzian manifolds with special holonomy and parallel spinors

Leistner, Thomas

Similarity:

The author studies the holonomy group of a simply connected indecomposable and reducible Lorentzian spin manifold under the condition that they admit parallel spinors. He shows that there are only two possible situations: either the manifold is a so-called Brinkmann wave or it has Abelian holonomy and is a pp-manifold – a generalization of a plane-wave. The author gives also sufficient conditions for a Brinkmann wave to have as holonomy the semidirect product of holonomy group of a Riemannian...

On conformally flat Lorentz parabolic manifolds

Yoshinobu Kamishima (2014)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

We introduce conformally flat Fefferman-Lorentz manifold of parabolic type as a special class of Lorentz parabolic manifolds. It is a smooth (2n+2)-manifold locally modeled on (Û(n+1, 1), S 2n+1,1). As the terminology suggests, when a Fefferman-Lorentz manifold M is conformally flat, M is a Fefferman-Lorentz manifold of parabolic type. We shall discuss which compact manifolds occur as a conformally flat Fefferman-Lorentz manifold of parabolic type.
