The local structure of essentially conformally symmetric manifolds with constant fundamental function II. The hyperbolic case
Our aim is to study the principal bundles determined by the algebra of quaternions in the projective model. The projectivization of the conformal model of the Hopf fibration is considered as example.
Let Mⁿ be a compact Landsberg hypersurface of a Minkowski space 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.
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.
