A characterization of the Riemann extension in terms of harmonicity

Cornelia-Livia Bejan, Şemsi Eken (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

If ( M , ) is a manifold with a symmetric linear connection, then T * M can be endowed with the natural Riemann extension g ¯ (O. Kowalski and M. Sekizawa (2011), M. Sekizawa (1987)). Here we continue to study the harmonicity with respect to g ¯ initiated by C. L. Bejan and O. Kowalski (2015). More precisely, we first construct a canonical almost para-complex structure 𝒫 on ( T * M , g ¯ ) and prove that 𝒫 is harmonic (in the sense of E. García-Río, L. Vanhecke and M. E. Vázquez-Abal (1997)) if and only if g ¯ reduces to the...

A class of metrics on tangent bundles of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds

H. M. Dida, A. Ikemakhen (2011)

Archivum Mathematicum

We provide the tangent bundle T M of pseudo-Riemannian manifold ( M , g ) with the Sasaki metric g s and the neutral metric g n . First we show that the holonomy group H s of ( T M , g s ) contains the one of ( M , g ) . What allows us to show that if ( T M , g s ) is indecomposable reducible, then the basis manifold ( M , g ) is also indecomposable-reducible. We determine completely the holonomy group of ( T M , g n ) according to the one of ( M , g ) . Secondly we found conditions on the base manifold under which ( T M , g s ) ( respectively ( T M , g n ) ) is Kählerian, locally symmetric or Einstein...

A note on characteristic classes

Jianwei Zhou (2006)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

This paper studies the relationship between the sections and the Chern or Pontrjagin classes of a vector bundle by the theory of connection. Our results are natural generalizations of the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem.

Affine analogues of the Sasaki-Shchepetilov connection

Maria Robaszewska (2016)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis. Studia Mathematica

For two-dimensional manifold M with locally symmetric connection ∇ and with ∇-parallel volume element vol one can construct a flat connection on the vector bundle TM ⊕ E, where E is a trivial bundle. The metrizable case, when M is a Riemannian manifold of constant curvature, together with its higher dimension generalizations, was studied by A.V. Shchepetilov [J. Phys. A: 36 (2003), 3893-3898]. This paper deals with the case of non-metrizable locally symmetric connection. Two flat connections on...

An introduction to gerbes on orbifolds

Ernesto Lupercio, Bernardo Uribe (2004)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

This paper is a gentle introduction to some recent results involving the theory of gerbes over orbifolds for topologists, geometers and physicists. We introduce gerbes on manifolds, orbifolds, the Dixmier-Douady class, Beilinson-Deligne orbifold cohomology, Cheeger-Simons orbifold cohomology and string connections.

Asymptotic behaviour and the moduli space of doubly-periodic instantons

Olivier Biquard, Marcos Jardim (2001)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study doubly-periodic instantons, i.e. instantons on the product of a 1-dimensional complex torus T with a complex line , with quadratic curvature decay. We determine the asymptotic behaviour of these instantons, constructing new asymptotic invariants. We show that the underlying holomorphic bundle extends to T × 1 . The converse statement is also true, namely a holomorphic bundle on T × 1 which is flat on the torus at infinity, and satisfies a stability condition, comes from a doubly-periodic instanton....
