On invariant operations on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds

Jan Slovák (1992)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Invariant polynomial operators on Riemannian manifolds are well understood and the knowledge of full lists of them becomes an effective tool in Riemannian geometry, [Atiyah, Bott, Patodi, 73] is a very good example. The present short paper is in fact a continuation of [Slovák, 92] where the classification problem is reconsidered under very mild assumptions and still complete classification results are derived even in some non-linear situations. Therefore, we neither repeat the detailed exposition...

On skew 2-projectable almost complex structures on T M

Anton Dekrét (1998)

Archivum Mathematicum

We deal with a ( 1 , 1 ) -tensor field α on the tangent bundle T M preserving vertical vectors and such that J α = - α J is a ( 1 , 1 ) -tensor field on M , where J is the canonical almost tangent structure on T M . A connection Γ α on T M is constructed by α . It is shown that if α is a V B -almost complex structure on T M without torsion then Γ α is a unique linear symmetric connection such that α ( Γ α ) = Γ α and Γ α ( J α ) = 0 .

On "special" fibred coordinates for general and classical connections

Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2010)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Using a general connection Γ on a fibred manifold p:Y → M and a torsion free classical linear connection ∇ on M, we distinguish some “special” fibred coordinate systems on Y, and then we construct a general connection ˜ ( Γ , ) on Fp:FY → FM for any vector bundle functor F: ℳ f → of finite order.
