Projective Homogeneity.
In this work we give a characterization of the projective invariant pseudometric , introduced by H. Wu, for a particular class of real -manifolds; in view of this result, we study the group of projective transformations for the same class of manifolds and we determine the integrated pseudodistance of in open convex regular cones of , endowed with the characteristic metric.
The aim of this work, which continues Part I with the same title, is to study a class of projective transformations of open, convex, regular cones in and to prove a structure theorem for affine transformations of a restricted class of cones; we conclude with a version of the Schwarz Lemma holding for affine transformations.
This paper discusses the connection between projective relatedness and conformal flatness for 4-dimensional manifolds admitting a metric of signature (+,+,+,+) or (+,+,+,−). It is shown that if one of the manifolds is conformally flat and not of the most general holonomy type for that signature then, in general, the connections of the manifolds involved are the same and the second manifold is also conformally flat. Counterexamples are provided which place limitations on the potential strengthening...
We study Finsler metrics with orthogonal invariance. By determining an expression of these Finsler metrics we find a PDE equivalent to these metrics being locally projectively flat. After investigating this PDE we manufacture projectively flat Finsler metrics with orthogonal invariance in terms of error functions.
On donne une description algébrique de l’ensemble des classes d’isomorphisme d’espaces symétriques affines connexes, simplement connexes et projectivement plats. On en déduit une classification des espaces symétriques affines connexes et projectivement plats et on détermine tous les espaces symétriques affines connexes admettant une transformation projective non affine.
We study properties of pseudo-Riemannian metrics corresponding to Monge-Ampère structures on four dimensional . We describe a family of Ricci flat solutions, which are parametrized by six coefficients satisfying the Plücker embedding equation. We also focus on pullbacks of the pseudo-metrics on two dimensional , and describe the corresponding Hessian structures.
A trans-Sasakian 3-manifold is pseudo-symmetric if and only if it is η-Einstein. In particular, a quasi-Sasakian 3-manifold is pseudo-symmetric if and only if it is a coKähler manifold or a homothetic Sasakian manifold. Some examples of non-Sasakian pseudo-symmetric contact 3-manifolds are exhibited.
