In this paper we have studied conformal curvature tensor, conharmonic curvature tensor, projective curvature tensor in Lorentzian $α$ -Sasakian manifolds admitting conformal Ricci soliton. We have found that a Weyl conformally semi symmetric Lorentzian $α$ -Sasakian manifold admitting conformal Ricci soliton is $η$ -Einstein manifold. We have also studied conharmonically Ricci symmetric Lorentzian $α$ -Sasakian manifold admitting conformal Ricci soliton. Similarly we have proved that a Lorentzian...

In Riemannian geometry the prescribed Ricci curvature problem is as follows: given a smooth manifold $M$ and a symmetric 2-tensor $r$ , construct a metric on $M$ whose Ricci tensor equals $r$ . In particular, DeTurck and Koiso proved the following celebrated result: the Ricci curvature uniquely determines the Levi-Civita connection on any compact Einstein manifold with non-negative section curvature. In the present paper we generalize the result of DeTurck and Koiso for a Riemannian manifold with...

Vanishing conharmonic tensor of normal locally conformal almost cosymplectic manifold

Farah H. Al-Hussaini, Aligadzhi R. Rustanov, Habeeb M. Abood (2020)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

The main purpose of the present paper is to study the geometric properties of the conharmonic curvature tensor of normal locally conformal almost cosymplectic manifolds (normal LCAC-manifold). In particular, three conhoronic invariants are distinguished with regard to the vanishing conharmonic tensor. Subsequentaly, three classes of normal LCAC-manifolds are established. Moreover, it is proved that the manifolds of these classes are $η$ -Einstein manifolds of type $(α, β)$ . Furthermore, we have...

Horizontal lift of symmetric connections to the bundle of volume forms $𝒱$

Anna Gasior (2010)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper we present the horizontal lift of a symmetric affine connection with respect to another affine connection to the bundle of volume forms $𝒱$ and give formulas for its curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature. Next, we give some properties of the horizontally lifted vector fields and certain infinitesimal transformations. At the end, we consider some substructures of a $F (3, 1)$ -structure on $𝒱$ .

On a Semi-symmetric Metric Connection in an Almost Kenmotsu Manifold with Nullity Distributions

Gopal Ghosh, Uday Chand De (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

We consider a semisymmetric metric connection in an almost Kenmotsu manifold with its characteristic vector field $ξ$ belonging to the ${(k, μ)}^{'}$ -nullity distribution and $(k, μ)$ -nullity distribution respectively. We first obtain the expressions of the curvature tensor and Ricci tensor with respect to the semisymmetric metric connection in an almost Kenmotsu manifold with $ξ$ belonging to ${(k, μ)}^{'}$ - and $(k, μ)$ -nullity distribution respectively. Then we characterize an almost Kenmotsu manifold with $ξ$ belonging to ${(k, μ)}^{'}$ -nullity...

Riemannian semisymmetric almost Kenmotsu manifolds and nullity distributions

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We consider an almost Kenmotsu manifold $M^{2 n + 1}$ with the characteristic vector field ξ belonging to the (k,μ)’-nullity distribution and h’ ≠ 0 and we prove that $M^{2 n + 1}$ is locally isometric to the Riemannian product of an (n+1)-dimensional manifold of constant sectional curvature -4 and a flat n-dimensional manifold, provided that $M^{2 n + 1}$ is ξ-Riemannian-semisymmetric. Moreover, if $M^{2 n + 1}$ is a ξ-Riemannian-semisymmetric almost Kenmotsu manifold such that ξ belongs to the (k,μ)-nullity distribution, we prove...

Conformal Killing graphs in foliated Riemannian spaces with density: rigidity and stability

Marco L. A. Velásquez, André F. A. Ramalho, Henrique F. de Lima, Márcio S. Santos, Arlandson M. S. Oliveira (2021)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

In this paper we investigate the geometry of conformal Killing graphs in a Riemannian manifold ${\bar{M}}_{f}^{n + 1}$ endowed with a weight function $f$ and having a closed conformal Killing vector field $V$ with conformal factor $ψ_{V}$ , that is, graphs constructed through the flow generated by $V$ and which are defined over an integral leaf of the foliation $V^{⊥}$ orthogonal to $V$ . For such graphs, we establish some rigidity results under appropriate constraints on the $f$ -mean curvature. Afterwards, we obtain some stability...

A strong maximum principle for the Paneitz operator and a non-local flow for the $Q$ -curvature

Matthew J. Gursky, Andrea Malchiodi (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

In this paper we consider Riemannian manifolds $(M^{n}, g)$ of dimension $n \geq 5$ , with semi-positive $Q$ -curvature and non-negative scalar curvature. Under these assumptions we prove (i) the Paneitz operator satisfies a strong maximum principle; (ii) the Paneitz operator is a positive operator; and (iii) its Green’s function is strictly positive. We then introduce a non-local flow whose stationary points are metrics of constant positive $Q$ -curvature. Modifying the test function construction of Esposito-Robert,...

How many are equiaffine connections with torsion

Zdeněk Dušek, Oldřich Kowalski (2015)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

The question how many real analytic equiaffine connections with arbitrary torsion exist locally on a smooth manifold $M$ of dimension $n$ is studied. The families of general equiaffine connections and with skew-symmetric Ricci tensor, or with symmetric Ricci tensor, respectively, are described in terms of the number of arbitrary functions of $n$ variables.

Complete Riemannian manifolds admitting a pair of Einstein-Weyl structures

Amalendu Ghosh (2016)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We prove that a connected Riemannian manifold admitting a pair of non-trivial Einstein-Weyl structures $(g, \pm ω)$ with constant scalar curvature is either Einstein, or the dual field of $ω$ is Killing. Next, let $(M^{n}, g)$ be a complete and connected Riemannian manifold of dimension at least $3$ admitting a pair of Einstein-Weyl structures $(g, \pm ω)$ . Then the Einstein-Weyl vector field $E$ (dual to the $1$ -form $ω$ ) generates an infinitesimal harmonic transformation if and only if $E$ is Killing.
