We introduce conformally flat Fefferman-Lorentz manifold of parabolic type as a special class of Lorentz parabolic manifolds. It is a smooth (2n+2)-manifold locally modeled on (Û(n+1, 1), S 2n+1,1). As the terminology suggests, when a Fefferman-Lorentz manifold M is conformally flat, M is a Fefferman-Lorentz manifold of parabolic type. We shall discuss which compact manifolds occur as a conformally flat Fefferman-Lorentz manifold of parabolic type.
In this paper we survey some recent results on rank one symmetric space.
We investigate the geometry at infinity of the so-called “gravitational instantons”, i.e. asymptotically flat hyperkähler four-manifolds, in relation with their volume growth. In particular, we prove that gravitational instantons with cubic volume growth are ALF, namely asymptotic to a circle fibration over a Euclidean three-space, with fibers of asymptotically constant length.
Indecomposable Lorentzian holonomy algebras, except and , are not semi-simple; they possibly belong to four families of algebras. All four families are realized as families of holonomy algebras: we describe the corresponding set of germs of metrics in each case.
The classical Wilson loop is the gauge-invariant trace of the parallel transport around a closed path with respect to a connection on a vector bundle over a smooth manifold. We build a precise mathematical model of the super Wilson loop, an extension introduced by Mason-Skinner and Caron-Huot, by endowing the objects occurring with auxiliary Graßmann generators coming from -points. A key feature of our model is a supergeometric parallel transport, which allows for a natural notion of holonomy on...
In this paper, we determine a class of possible restricted holonomy groups for a non-irreducible indecomposable pseudoriemannian manifold with signature (2,2 + n). In particular, we deduce that which associated to symmetric spaces; and give some examples of such spaces. Finally, we construct some examples of metrics whose restricted holonomy groups are not closed.
Our goal in this paper is to make an attempt to find the largest Lie algebra of vector fields on the indicatrix such that all its elements are tangent to the holonomy group of a Finsler manifold. First, we introduce the notion of the curvature algebra, generated by curvature vector fields, then we define the infinitesimal holonomy algebra by the smallest Lie algebra of vector fields on an indicatrix, containing the curvature vector fields and their horizontal covariant derivatives with respect to...
This review article intends to introduce the reader to non-integrable geometric structures on Riemannian manifolds and invariant metric connections with torsion, and to discuss recent aspects of mathematical physics—in particular superstring theory—where these naturally appear. Connections with skew-symmetric torsion are exhibited as one of the main tools to understand non-integrable geometries. To this aim a a series of key examples is presented and successively dealt with using the notions of...
For (M, [g]) a conformal manifold of signature (p, q) and dimension at least three, the conformal holonomy group Hol(M, [g]) ⊂ O(p + 1, q + 1) is an invariant induced by the canonical Cartan geometry of (M, [g]). We give a description of all possible connected conformal holonomy groups which act transitively on the Möbius sphere S p,q, the homogeneous model space for conformal structures of signature (p, q). The main part of this description is a list of all such groups which also act irreducibly...
Connected weakly irreducible not irreducible subgroups of that satisfy a certain additional condition are classified. This will be used to classify connected holonomy groups of pseudo-hyper-Kählerian manifolds of index 4.
A Weitzenböck formula for SL(q)-foliations is derived. Its linear part is a relative trace of the relative curvature operator acting on vector valued forms.
