The Srní lectures on non-integrable geometries with torsion

Ilka Agricola (2006)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

This review article intends to introduce the reader to non-integrable geometric structures on Riemannian manifolds and invariant metric connections with torsion, and to discuss recent aspects of mathematical physics—in particular superstring theory—where these naturally appear. Connections with skew-symmetric torsion are exhibited as one of the main tools to understand non-integrable geometries. To this aim a a series of key examples is presented and successively dealt with using the...

Quaternionic-like structures on a manifold: Note I. 1-integrability and integrability conditions

Dmitri V. Alekseevsky, Stefano Marchiafava (1993)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

This Note will be followed by a Note II in these Rendiconti and successively by a wider and more detailed memoir to appear next. Here six quaternionic-like structures on a manifold M (almost quaternionic, hypercomplex, unimodular quaternionic, unimodular hypercomplex, Hermitian quaternionic, Hermitian hypercomplex) are defined and interrelations between them are studied in the framework of general theory of G-structures. Special connections are associated to these structures. 1-integrability...

On types of non-integrable geometrie

Friedrich, Thomas

Similarity:

A G-structure on a Riemannian manifold is said to be integrable if it is preserved by the Levi-Civita connection. In the presented paper, the following non-integrable G-structures are studied: SO(3)-structures in dimension 5; almost complex structures in dimension 6; G 2 -structures in dimension 7; Spin(7)-structures in dimension 8; Spin(9)-structures in dimension 16 and F 4 -structures in dimension 26. G-structures admitting an affine connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion are characterized....

On the characteristic connection of gwistor space

Rui Albuquerque (2013)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

We give a brief presentation of gwistor spaces, which is a new concept from G 2 geometry. Then we compute the characteristic torsion T c of the gwistor space of an oriented Riemannian 4-manifold with constant sectional curvature k and deduce the condition under which T c is ∇c-parallel; this allows for the classification of the G 2 structure with torsion and the characteristic holonomy according to known references. The case of an Einstein base manifold is envisaged.
