The rigidity theorem for Landsberg hypersurfaces of a Minkowski space

Jin Tang Li (2012)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Let Mⁿ be a compact Landsberg hypersurface of a Minkowski space ( V n + 1 , F ̅ ) with constant mean curvature H. Using the Gauss formula for the Chern connection of Finsler submanifolds, we prove that if M is convex, then M is Riemannian with constant curvature.

The spectral geometry of the Weyl conformal tensor

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.
