Riemann compatible tensors

Carlo Alberto Mantica, Luca Guido Molinari (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Derdziński and Shen's theorem on the restrictions on the Riemann tensor imposed by existence of a Codazzi tensor holds more generally when a Riemann compatible tensor exists. Several properties are shown to remain valid in this broader setting. Riemann compatibility is equivalent to the Bianchi identity for a new "Codazzi deviation tensor", with a geometric significance. The above general properties are studied, with their implications on Pontryagin forms. Examples are given of manifolds...

Extended Derdziński-Shen theorem for curvature tensors

Carlo Alberto Mantica, Luca Guido Molinari (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We extend a remarkable theorem of Derdziński and Shen, on the restrictions imposed on the Riemann tensor by the existence of a nontrivial Codazzi tensor. We show that the Codazzi equation can be replaced by a more general algebraic condition. The resulting extension applies both to the Riemann tensor and to generalized curvature tensors.

Algebraic classification of the Weyl tensor

Pravdová, Alena

Similarity:

Alignment classification of tensors on Lorentzian manifolds of arbitrary dimension is summarized. This classification scheme is then applied to the case of the Weyl tensor and it is shown that in four dimensions it is equivalent to the well known Petrov classification. The approaches using Bel-Debever criteria and principal null directions of the superenergy tensor are also discussed.

New criteria for H-tensors and an application

Feng Wang, Deshu Sun (2015)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

Some new criteria for identifying H-tensors are obtained. As an application, some sufficient conditions of the positive definiteness for an even-order real symmetric tensor are given. Advantages of results obtained are illustrated by numerical examples.
