On sectional curvature of a Riemannian manifold with semi-symmetric metric connection

Füsun Özen Zengin, S. Aynur Uysal, Sezgin Altay Demirbag (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We prove that if the sectional curvature of an n-dimensional pseudo-symmetric manifold with semi-symmetric metric connection is independent of the orientation chosen then the generator of such a manifold is gradient and also such a manifold is subprojective in the sense of Kagan.

On semi-Riemannian manifolds satisfying some conformally invariant curvature condition

Ryszard Deszcz, Małgorzata Głogowska, Hideko Hashiguchi, Marian Hotloś, Makoto Yawata (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We investigate semi-Riemannian manifolds with pseudosymmetric Weyl curvature tensor satisfying some additional condition imposed on their curvature tensor. Among other things we prove that the so-called Roter type equation holds on such manifolds. We present applications of our results to hypersurfaces in semi-Riemannian space forms, as well as to 4-dimensional warped products.

On some algebraic identities and the exterior product of double forms

Mohammed Larbi Labbi (2013)

Archivum Mathematicum

We use the exterior product of double forms to free from coordinates celebrated classical results of linear algebra about matrices and bilinear forms namely Cayley-Hamilton theorem, Laplace expansion of the determinant, Newton identities and Jacobi’s formula for the determinant. This coordinate free formalism is then used to easily generalize the previous results to higher multilinear forms namely to double forms. In particular, we show that the Cayley-Hamilton theorem once applied to the second...

On some class of hypersurfaces with three distinct principal curvatures

Katarzyna Sawicz (2005)

Banach Center Publications

We investigate hypersurfaces M in spaces of constant curvature with some special minimal polynomial of the second fundamental tensor H of third degree. We present a curvature characterization of pseudosymmetry type for such hypersurfaces. We also prove that if such a hypersurface is a manifold with pseudosymmetric Weyl tensor then it must be pseudosymmetric.

On some generalized Einstein metric conditions on hypersurfaces in semi-Riemannian space forms

Ryszard Deszcz, Małgorzata Głogowska, Marian Hotloś, Leopold Verstraelen (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Solutions of the P. J. Ryan problem as well as investigations of curvature properties of Cartan hypersurfaces and Ricci-pseudosymmetric hypersurfaces lead to curvature identities holding on every hypersurface M isometrically immersed in a semi-Riemannian space form. These identities, under some assumptions, give rises to new generalized Einstein metric conditions on M. We investigate hypersurfaces satisfying such curvature conditions.
