The Group of Invertible Elements of the Algebra of Quaternions

Irina A. Kuzmina, Marie Chodorová (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

We have, that all two-dimensional subspaces of the algebra of quaternions, containing a unit, are 2-dimensional subalgebras isomorphic to the algebra of complex numbers. It was proved in the papers of N. E. Belova. In the present article we consider a 2-dimensional subalgebra ( i ) of complex numbers with basis 1 , i and we construct the principal locally trivial bundle which is isomorphic to the Hopf fibration.

The Jordan normal form of higher order Osserman algebraic curvature tensors

Peter Gilkey, Raina Ivanova (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We construct new examples of algebraic curvature tensors so that the Jordan normal form of the higher order Jacobi operator is constant on the Grassmannian of subspaces of type ( r , s ) in a vector space of signature ( p , q ) . We then use these examples to establish some results concerning higher order Osserman and higher order Jordan Osserman algebraic curvature tensors.

The spectral geometry of the Weyl conformal tensor

N. Blažić, P. Gilkey, S. Nikčević, U. Simon (2005)

Banach Center Publications

We study when the Jacobi operator associated to the Weyl conformal curvature tensor has constant eigenvalues on the bundle of unit spacelike or timelike tangent vectors. This leads to questions in the conformal geometry of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which generalize the Osserman conjecture to this setting. We also study similar questions related to the skew-symmetric curvature operator defined by the Weyl conformal curvature tensor.

Totally umbilical submanifolds in some semi-Riemannian manifolds

Stanisław Ewert-Krzemieniewski (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We investigate totally umbilical submanifolds in manifolds satisfying some curvature conditions of either recurrent or pseudosymmetry type in the sense of Ryszard Deszcz and derive the respective condition for submanifolds. We also prove some relations involving the mean curvature and the Weyl conformal curvature tensor of submanifolds. Some examples are discussed.
