Generalized Dirac operators on lorentzian manifolds and propagation of singularities
We study the family of closed Riemannian n-manifolds with holonomy group isomorphic to Z2n-1, which we call generalized Hantzsche-Wendt manifolds. We prove results on their structure, compute some invariants, and find relations between them, illustrated in a graph connecting the family.
The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, new generalized Kähler manifolds are constructed starting from both classical almost contact metric and almost Kählerian manifolds. Second, the transformation construction on classical Riemannian manifolds is extended to the generalized geometry setting.
We consider generalized m-quasi-Einstein metric within the framework of Sasakian and K-contact manifolds. First, we prove that a complete Sasakian manifold M admitting a generalized m-quasi-Einstein metric is compact and isometric to the unit sphere . Next, we generalize this to complete K-contact manifolds with m ≠ 1.
We study one of the open problems in Finsler geometry presented by Matsumoto-Shimada in 1977, about the existence of a concrete P-reducible metric, i.e. one which is not C-reducible. In order to do this, we study a class of Finsler metrics, called generalized P-reducible metrics, which contains the class of P-reducible metrics. We prove that every generalized P-reducible (α,β)-metric with vanishing S-curvature reduces to a Berwald metric or a C-reducible metric. It follows that there is no concrete...
We prove that any compact simply connected manifold carrying a structure of Riemannian 3- or 4-symmetric space is formal in the sense of Sullivan. This result generalizes Sullivan's classical theorem on the formality of symmetric spaces, but the proof is of a different nature, since for generalized symmetric spaces techniques based on the Hodge theory do not work. We use the Thomas theory of minimal models of fibrations and the classification of 3- and 4-symmetric spaces.
We study classifying problems of real hypersurfaces in a complex two-plane Grassmannian . In relation to the generalized Tanaka-Webster connection, we consider that the generalized Tanaka-Webster derivative of the normal Jacobi operator coincides with the covariant derivative. In this case, we prove complete classifications for real hypersurfaces in satisfying such conditions.
For G = SU(n), Sp(n) or Spin(n), let be the centralizer of a certain SU(2) in G. We have a natural map . For a generator α of , we describe J⁎(α). In particular, it is proved that is injective.
