Classification of 4 -dimensional homogeneous weakly Einstein manifolds

Teresa Arias-Marco, Oldřich Kowalski (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Y. Euh, J. Park and K. Sekigawa were the first authors who defined the concept of a weakly Einstein Riemannian manifold as a modification of that of an Einstein Riemannian manifold. The defining formula is expressed in terms of the Riemannian scalar invariants of degree two. This concept was inspired by that of a super-Einstein manifold introduced earlier by A. Gray and T. J. Willmore in the context of mean-value theorems in Riemannian geometry. The dimension 4 is the most interesting case, where...

Classification of 4-dimensional homogeneous D'Atri spaces

Teresa Arias-Marco, Oldřich Kowalski (2008)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The property of being a D’Atri space (i.e., a space with volume-preserving symmetries) is equivalent to the infinite number of curvature identities called the odd Ledger conditions. In particular, a Riemannian manifold ( M , g ) satisfying the first odd Ledger condition is said to be of type 𝒜 . The classification of all 3-dimensional D’Atri spaces is well-known. All of them are locally naturally reductive. The first attempts to classify all 4-dimensional homogeneous D’Atri spaces were done in the papers...

Collective geodesic flows

Léo T. Butler, Gabriel P. Paternain (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that most compact semi-simple Lie groups carry many left invariant metrics with positive topological entropy. We also show that many homogeneous spaces admit collective Riemannian metrics arbitrarily close to the bi-invariant metric and whose geodesic flow has positive topological entropy. Other properties of collective geodesic flows are also discussed.
