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...

Affinely equivalent complete flat manifolds

Michal Sadowski (2004)

Open Mathematics

Let E Aff(Γ,G, m) be the set of affine equivalence classes of m-dimensional complete flat manifolds with a fixed fundamental group Γ and a fixed holonomy group G. Let n be the dimension of a closed flat manifold whose fundamental group is isomorphic to Γ. We describe E Aff(Γ,G, m) in terms of equivalence classes of pairs (ε, ρ), consisting of epimorphisms of Γ onto G and representations of G in ℝm-n. As an application we give some estimates of card E Aff(Γ,G, m).

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.

Generalized Hantzsche-Wendt flat manifolds.

Juan P. Rossetti, Andrzey Szczepanski (2005)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We study the family of closed Riemannian n-manifolds with holonomy group isomorphic to Z2n-1, which we call generalized Hantzsche-Wendt manifolds. We prove results on their structure, compute some invariants, and find relations between them, illustrated in a graph connecting the family.

Holonomy groups of complete flat manifolds

Michał Sadowski (2007)

Banach Center Publications

We present short direct proofs of two known properties of complete flat manifolds. They say that the diffeomorphism classes of m-dimensional complete flat manifolds form a finite set S C F ( m ) and that each element of S C F ( m ) is represented by a manifold with finite holonomy group.

Holonomy, twisting cochains and characteristic classes

G. Sharygin (2011)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

This paper contains a description of various geometric constructions associated with fibre bundles, given in terms of important algebraic object, the “twisting cochain". Our examples include the Chern-Weil classes, the holonomy representation and the so-called cyclic Chern character of Bismut and others (see [2, 11, 27]), also called the Bismut’s class. The later example is the principal one for us, since we are motivated by the attempt to find an algebraic approach to the Witten’s index formula....

Homogeneous Cartan geometries

Matthias Hammerl (2007)

Archivum Mathematicum

We describe invariant principal and Cartan connections on homogeneous principal bundles and show how to calculate the curvature and the holonomy; in the case of an invariant Cartan connection we give a formula for the infinitesimal automorphisms. The main result of this paper is that the above calculations are purely algorithmic. As an example of an homogeneous parabolic geometry we treat a conformal structure on the product of two spheres.

Invariant torsion and G2-metrics

Diego Conti, Thomas Bruun Madsen (2015)

Complex Manifolds

We introduce and study a notion of invariant intrinsic torsion geometrywhich appears, for instance, in connection with the Bryant-Salamon metric on the spinor bundle over S3. This space is foliated by sixdimensional hypersurfaces, each of which carries a particular type of SO(3)-structure; the intrinsic torsion is invariant under SO(3). The last condition is sufficient to imply local homogeneity of such geometries, and this allows us to give a classification. We close the circle by showing that...

Lagrangian holonomy ; characteristic elements of a lagrangian foliation

Carlos Currás-Bosch, Pierre Molino (2002)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Let ℒ be a lagrangian foliation on a symplectic manifold ( M 2 n , ω ) . The characteristic elements of such a foliation associated to a lagrangian total transversal are obtained; they are a generalisation of the characteristic elements given by J.J. Duistermaat [5]. This technique is applied to give a classification of the germs of lagrangian foliation along a compact leaf. Several examples of classification are given.

New Vacuum Solutions for Quadratic Metric-Affine Gravity - a Metric Affine Model for the Massless Neutrino?

Pasic, Vedad (2010)

Mathematica Balkanica New Series

AMS Subj. Classification: 83C15, 83C35In this paper we present an overview of our research that was presented at theMASSEE International Congress on Mathematics MICOM 2009 in Ohrid, Macedonia. We deal with quadratic metric–affine gravity, which is an alternative theory of gravity. We present new vacuum solutions for this theory and an attempt to give their physical interpretation on the basis of comparison with existing classical models. These new explicit vacuum solutions of quadratic metric–affine...
