Metrizability of connections on two-manifolds

Alena Vanžurová, Petra Žáčková (2009)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

We contribute to the reverse of the Fundamental Theorem of Riemannian geometry: if a symmetric linear connection on a manifold is given, find non-degenerate metrics compatible with the connection (locally or globally) if there are any. The problem is not easy in general. For nowhere flat 2 -manifolds, we formulate necessary and sufficient metrizability conditions. In the favourable case, we describe all compatible metrics in terms of the Ricci tensor. We propose an application in the calculus of...

Natural diagonal Riemannian almost product and para-Hermitian cotangent bundles

Simona-Luiza Druţă-Romaniuc (2012)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We obtain the natural diagonal almost product and locally product structures on the total space of the cotangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold. Studying the compatibility and the anti-compatibility relations between the determined structures and a natural diagonal metric, we find the Riemannian almost product (locally product) and the (almost) para-Hermitian cotangent bundles of natural diagonal lift type. Finally, we prove the characterization theorem for the natural diagonal (almost) para-Kählerian...

Natural transformations between T²₁T*M and T*T²₁M

Miroslav Doupovec (1991)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We determine all natural transformations T²₁T*→ T*T²₁ where T k r M = J 0 r ( k , M ) . We also give a geometric characterization of the canonical isomorphism ψ₂ defined by Cantrijn et al.

Non-degenerate hypersurfaces of a semi-Riemannian manifold with a semi-symmetric metric connection

Ahmet Yücesan, Nihat Ayyildiz (2008)

Archivum Mathematicum

We derive the equations of Gauss and Weingarten for a non-degenerate hypersurface of a semi-Riemannian manifold admitting a semi-symmetric metric connection, and give some corollaries of these equations. In addition, we obtain the equations of Gauss curvature and Codazzi-Mainardi for this non-degenerate hypersurface and give a relation between the Ricci and the scalar curvatures of a semi-Riemannian manifold and of its a non-degenerate hypersurface with respect to a semi-symmetric metric connection....

Non-existence of some canonical constructions on connections

Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2003)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

For a vector bundle functor H : f 𝒱 with the point property we prove that H is product preserving if and only if for any m and n there is an m , n -natural operator D transforming connections Γ on ( m , n ) -dimensional fibered manifolds p : Y M into connections D ( Γ ) on H p : H Y H M . For a bundle functor E : m , n with some weak conditions we prove non-existence of m , n -natural operators D transforming connections Γ on ( m , n ) -dimensional fibered manifolds Y M into connections D ( Γ ) on E Y M .
