On a Class of Generalized quasi-Einstein Manifolds with Applications to Relativity

Sahanous Mallick, Uday Chand De (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Quasi Einstein manifold is a simple and natural generalization of Einstein manifold. The object of the present paper is to study some properties of generalized quasi Einstein manifolds. We also discuss G ( Q E ) 4 with space-matter tensor and some properties related to it. Two non-trivial examples have been constructed to prove the existence of generalized quasi Einstein spacetimes.

On a variational theory of light rays on Lorentzian manifolds

Fabio Giannoni, Antonio Masiello (1995)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this Note, by using a generalization of the classical Fermat principle, we prove the existence and multiplicity of lightlike geodesics joining a point with a timelike curve on a class of Lorentzian manifolds, satisfying a suitable compactness assumption, which is weaker than the globally hyperbolicity.

On canonical screen for lightlike submanifolds of codimension two

K. Duggal (2007)

Open Mathematics

In this paper we study two classes of lightlike submanifolds of codimension two of semi-Riemannian manifolds, according as their radical subspaces are 1-dimensional or 2-dimensional. For a large variety of both these classes, we prove the existence of integrable canonical screen distributions subject to some reasonable geometric conditions and support the results through examples.

On complete linear Weingarten hypersurfaces in locally symmetric Riemannian manifolds

Cícero P. Aquino, Henrique F. de Lima, Fábio R. dos Santos, Marco Antonio L. Velásquez (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Our aim is to apply suitable generalized maximum principles in order to obtain characterization results concerning complete linear Weingarten hypersurfaces immersed in a locally symmetric Riemannian manifold, whose sectional curvature is supposed to obey standard constraints. In this setting, we establish sufficient conditions to guarantee that such a hypersurface must be either totally umbilical or an isoparametric hypersurface with two distinct principal curvatures one of which is simple.

On conformally flat Lorentz parabolic manifolds

Yoshinobu Kamishima (2014)

Open Mathematics

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.
