The values of sectional curvature in indefinite metrics.
We consider a unit speed timelike curve in Minkowski 4-space and denote the Frenet frame of by . We say that is a generalized helix if one of the unit vector fields of the Frenet frame has constant scalar product with a fixed direction of . In this work we study those helices where the function is constant and we give different characterizations of such curves.
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...
Le but de cet article est d’exposer de nouveaux exemples de structures anti-de Sitter sur des fibrés en cercles au-dessus d’une surface hyperbolique qui ne sont pas, modulo revêtement et quotient finis, des déformations de structures homogènes.
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.
