Similarity:

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...

On Uniqueness Theoremsfor Ricci Tensor

Marina B. Khripunova, Sergey E. Stepanov, Irina I. Tsyganok, Josef Mikeš (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

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...

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

Yaning Wang, Ximin Liu (2014)

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...

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.

$𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 - 𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑦𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝐿𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑧𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠$ , that is to say, Lorentzian manifolds with vanishing second derivative $\nabla \nabla R \equiv 0$ of the curvature tensor $R$ , are characterized by several geometric properties, and explicitly presented. Locally, they are a product $M = M_{1} \times M_{2}$ where each factor is uniquely determined as follows: $M_{2}$ is a Riemannian symmetric space and $M_{1}$ is either a constant-curvature Lorentzian space or a definite type of plane wave generalizing the Cahen–Wallach family. In the proper case (i.e., $\nabla R \neq 0$ at some point), the curvature...

Singer-Thorpe bases for special Einstein curvature tensors in dimension 4

Zdeněk Dušek (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $(M, g)$ be a 4-dimensional Einstein Riemannian manifold. At each point $p$ of $M$ , the tangent space admits a so-called Singer-Thorpe basis (ST basis) with respect to the curvature tensor $R$ at $p$ . In this basis, up to standard symmetries and antisymmetries, just $5$ components of the curvature tensor $R$ are nonzero. For the space of constant curvature, the group $O (4)$ acts as a transformation group between ST bases at $T_{p} M$ and for the so-called 2-stein curvature tensors, the group $Sp (1) \subset SO (4)$ acts as a transformation...

On torsion of a $3$ -web

Alena Vanžurová (1995)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

A 3-web on a smooth $2 n$ -dimensional manifold can be regarded locally as a triple of integrable $n$ -distributions which are pairwise complementary, [5]; that is, we can work on the tangent bundle only. This approach enables us to describe a $3$ -web and its properties by invariant $(1, 1)$ -tensor fields $P$ and $B$ where $P$ is a projector and $B^{2} =$ id. The canonical Chern connection of a web-manifold can be introduced using this tensor fields, [1]. Our aim is to express the torsion tensor $T$ of the Chern connection...

Collapse of warped submersions

Szymon M. Walczak (2006)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We generalize the concept of warped manifold to Riemannian submersions π: M → B between two compact Riemannian manifolds $(M, g_{M})$ and $(B, g_{B})$ in the following way. If f: B → (0,∞) is a smooth function on B which is extended to a function f̂ = f ∘ π constant along the fibres of π then we define a new metric $g_{f}$ on M by $g_{f} |_{\times} \equiv g_{M} |_{\times}, g_{f} {|_{\times T M ̂} \equiv f ̂ ² g_{M} |}_{\times T M ̂}$ , where and denote the bundles of horizontal and vertical vectors. The manifold $(M, g_{f})$ obtained that way is called a warped submersion. The function f is called a warping function. We show...

Tenseness of Riemannian flows

Hiraku Nozawa, José Ignacio Royo Prieto (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We show that any transversally complete Riemannian foliation $ℱ$ of dimension one on any possibly non-compact manifold $M$ is tense; namely, $M$ admits a Riemannian metric such that the mean curvature form of $ℱ$ is basic. This is a partial generalization of a result of Domínguez, which says that any Riemannian foliation on any compact manifold is tense. Our proof is based on some results of Molino and Sergiescu, and it is simpler than the original proof by Domínguez. As an application, we generalize...
