We prove that the set of the -projective symmetries is a Lie algebra.
The main purpose of the present paper is to study the geometric properties of the conharmonic curvature tensor of normal locally conformal almost cosymplectic manifolds (normal LCAC-manifold). In particular, three conhoronic invariants are distinguished with regard to the vanishing conharmonic tensor. Subsequentaly, three classes of normal LCAC-manifolds are established. Moreover, it is proved that the manifolds of these classes are -Einstein manifolds of type . Furthermore, we have determined...
Let be a uniruled projective manifold and let be a general point. The main result of [2] says that if the -degrees (i.e., the degrees with respect to the anti-canonical bundle of ) of all rational curves through are at least , then is a projective space. In this paper, we study the structure of when the -degrees of all rational curves through are at least . Our study uses the projective variety , called the VMRT at , defined as the union of tangent directions to the rational curves...
In this paper we generalize the self-adjoint differential operator (used by Cheng-Yau) on hypersurfaces of a constant curvature manifold to general submanifolds. The generalized operator is no longer self-adjoint. However we present its adjoint operator. By using this operator we get the pinching theorem on Willmore submanifolds which is analogous to the pinching theorem on minimal submanifold of a sphere given by Simon and Chern-Do Carmo-Kobayashi.
The aim of this paper is to determine explicitly the algebraic structure of the curvature algebra of the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group with left invariant cubic metric. We show, that this curvature algebra is an infinite dimensional graded Lie subalgebra of the generalized Witt algebra of homogeneous vector fields generated by three elements.
