On Riemannian 3-manifolds with distinct constant Ricci eigenvalues.
We shall survey our work on Riemannian geometry of tangent sphere bundles with arbitrary constant radius done since the year 2000.
The first author and F. Prufer gave an explicit classification of all Riemannian 3-manifolds with distinct constant Ricci eigenvalues and satisfying additional geometrical conditions. The aim of the present paper is to get the same classification under weaker geometrical conditions.
We first classify left invariant Douglas -metrics on the Heisenberg group of dimension and its extension i.e., oscillator group. Then we explicitly give the flag curvature formulas and geodesic vectors for these spaces, when equipped with these metrics. We also explicitly obtain -curvature formulas of left invariant Randers metrics of Douglas type on these spaces and obtain a comparison on geometry of these spaces, when equipped with left invariant Douglas -metrics. More exactly, we show...
In [20] the existence of major differences about totally geodesic two-dimensional foliations between Riemannian and Lorentzian geometry of the Heisenberg group is proved. Our aim in this paper is to obtain a comparison on some other geometrical properties of these spaces. Interesting behaviours are found. Also the non-existence of left-invariant Ricci and Yamabe solitons and the existence of algebraic Ricci soliton in both Riemannian and Lorentzian cases are proved. Moreover, all of the descriptions...
In this paper we first classify left-invariant generalized Ricci solitons on some solvable extensions of the Heisenberg group in both Riemannian and Lorentzian cases. Then we obtain the exact form of all left-invariant unit time-like vector fields which are spatially harmonic. We also calculate the energy of an arbitrary left-invariant vector field on these spaces and obtain all vector fields which are critical points for the energy functional restricted to vector fields of the same length. Furthermore,...
Classification of locally homogeneous affine connections in two dimensions is a nontrivial problem. (See [5] and [7] for two different versions of the solution.) Using a basic formula by B. Opozda, [7], we prove that all locally homogeneous torsion-less affine connections defined in open domains of a 2-dimensional manifold depend essentially on at most 4 parameters (see Theorem 2.4).
