On the characteristic connection of gwistor space

Rui Albuquerque (2013)

Open Mathematics

We give a brief presentation of gwistor spaces, which is a new concept from G 2 geometry. Then we compute the characteristic torsion T c of the gwistor space of an oriented Riemannian 4-manifold with constant sectional curvature k and deduce the condition under which T c is ∇c-parallel; this allows for the classification of the G 2 structure with torsion and the characteristic holonomy according to known references. The case of an Einstein base manifold is envisaged.

On the geometry of frame bundles

Kamil Niedziałomski (2012)

Archivum Mathematicum

Let ( M , g ) be a Riemannian manifold, L ( M ) its frame bundle. We construct new examples of Riemannian metrics, which are obtained from Riemannian metrics on the tangent bundle T M . We compute the Levi–Civita connection and curvatures of these metrics.

Order reduction of the Euler-Lagrange equations of higher order invariant variational problems on frame bundles

Ján Brajerčík (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let μ : F X X be a principal bundle of frames with the structure group Gl n ( ) . It is shown that the variational problem, defined by Gl n ( ) -invariant Lagrangian on J r F X , can be equivalently studied on the associated space of connections with some compatibility condition, which gives us order reduction of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations.
