Timelike B 2 -slant helices in Minkowski space E 1 4

Ahmad T. Ali, Rafael López (2010)

Archivum Mathematicum

We consider a unit speed timelike curve α in Minkowski 4-space 𝐄 1 4 and denote the Frenet frame of α by { 𝐓 , 𝐍 , 𝐁 1 , 𝐁 2 } . We say that α is a generalized helix if one of the unit vector fields of the Frenet frame has constant scalar product with a fixed direction U of 𝐄 1 4 . In this work we study those helices where the function 𝐁 2 , U is constant and we give different characterizations of such curves.

Transitive conformal holonomy groups

Jesse Alt (2012)

Open Mathematics

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...

Variétés anti-de Sitter de dimension 3 exotiques

François Salein (2000)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

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.

Weakly irreducible subgroups of Sp ( 1 , n + 1 )

Natalia I. Bezvitnaya (2008)

Archivum Mathematicum

Connected weakly irreducible not irreducible subgroups of Sp ( 1 , n + 1 ) SO ( 4 , 4 n + 4 ) 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.
