Derivational formulas of a subspace of a generalized Riemannian space.
Let f:M → N be a local diffeomorphism between Riemannian manifolds. We define the eigenvalues of f to be the eigenvalues of the self-adjoint, positive definite operator df*df:TM → TM, where df* denotes the operator adjoint to df. We show that if f is conformal on a distribution D, then , where denotes the eigenspace corresponding to the coefficient of conformality λ of f. Moreover, if f has distinct eigenvalues, then there is locally a distribution D such that f is conformal on D if and only...
In questo lavoro si dà una definizione di divergenza fra cronotopi della Relatività Generale e si costruisce un criterio per l'identificazione dei punti eventi di cronotopi divergenti che appartengono ad una classe consistente con la presenza di campi elettromagnetici nel vuoto.
The Weitzenböck formulae express the Laplacian of a differential form on an oriented Riemannian manifold in local coordinates, using the covariant derivatives of the form and the coefficients of the curvature tensor. In the first part, we shall describe a certain "differential algebra formalism" which seems to be a more natural frame for those formulae than the usual calculations in local coordinates.In this formalism there appear some interesting differential operators which may also be used to...
An extension of the category of local manifolds is considered. Instead of smooth mappings of neighbourhoods of linear spaces as morphisms we deal with formal operator power series (or formal maps). Analogues of the objects appearing on smooth manifolds and vector bundles (vector fields, sections of a bundle, exterior forms, the de Rham complex, connection, etc.) are considered in this way. All the examinations are carried out in algebraic language, for we do not care about the convergence of formal...
