A note on the volume of -Einstein manifolds with skew-torsion

Ioannis Chrysikos (2021)

Communications in Mathematics

We study the volume of compact Riemannian manifolds which are Einstein with respect to a metric connection with (parallel) skew-torsion. We provide a result for the sign of the first variation of the volume in terms of the corresponding scalar curvature. This generalizes a result of M. Ville [Vil] related with the first variation of the volume on a compact Einstein manifold.

A property of Wallach's flag manifolds

Teresa Arias-Marco (2007)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this note we study the Ledger conditions on the families of flag manifold ( M 6 = S U ( 3 ) / S U ( 1 ) × S U ( 1 ) × S U ( 1 ) , g ( c 1 , c 2 , c 3 ) ) , ( M 12 = S p ( 3 ) / S U ( 2 ) × S U ( 2 ) × S U ( 2 ) , g ( c 1 , c 2 , c 3 ) ) , constructed by N. R. Wallach in (Wallach, N. R., Compact homogeneous Riemannian manifols with strictly positive curvature, Ann. of Math. 96 (1972), 276–293.). In both cases, we conclude that every member of the both families of Riemannian flag manifolds is a D’Atri space if and only if it is naturally reductive. Therefore, we finish the study of M 6 made by D’Atri and Nickerson in (D’Atri, J. E., Nickerson, H. K., Geodesic...

A second-order identity for the Riemann tensor and applications

Carlo Alberto Mantica, Luca Guido Molinari (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A second-order differential identity for the Riemann tensor is obtained on a manifold with a symmetric connection. Several old and some new differential identities for the Riemann and Ricci tensors are derived from it. Applications to manifolds with recurrent or symmetric structures are discussed. The new structure of K-recurrency naturally emerges from an invariance property of an old identity due to Lovelock.
