On a Semi-symmetric Metric Connection in an Almost Kenmotsu Manifold with Nullity Distributions

Gopal Ghosh, Uday Chand De (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

We consider a semisymmetric metric connection in an almost Kenmotsu manifold with its characteristic vector field ξ belonging to the ( k , μ ) ' -nullity distribution and ( k , μ ) -nullity distribution respectively. We first obtain the expressions of the curvature tensor and Ricci tensor with respect to the semisymmetric metric connection in an almost Kenmotsu manifold with ξ belonging to ( k , μ ) ' - and ( k , μ ) -nullity distribution respectively. Then we characterize an almost Kenmotsu manifold with ξ belonging to ( k , μ ) ' -nullity distribution...

On a theorem of Chekanov

Emmanuel Ferrand (1997)

Banach Center Publications

A proof of the Chekanov theorem is discussed from a geometric point of view. Similar results in the context of projectivized cotangent bundles are proved. Some applications are given.

On a theorem of Fermi

Viktor V. Slavskii (1996)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Conformally flat metric g ¯ is said to be Ricci superosculating with g at the point x 0 if g i j ( x 0 ) = g ¯ i j ( x 0 ) , Γ i j k ( x 0 ) = Γ ¯ i j k ( x 0 ) , R i j k ( x 0 ) = R ¯ i j k ( x 0 ) , where R i j is the Ricci tensor. In this paper the following theorem is proved: If γ is a smooth curve of the Riemannian manifold M (without self-crossing(, then there is a neighbourhood of γ and a conformally flat metric g ¯ which is the Ricci superosculating with g along the curve γ .

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 almost cosymplectic (−1, μ, 0)-spaces

Piotr Dacko, Zbigniew Olszak (2005)

Open Mathematics

In our previous paper, almost cosymplectic (κ, μ, ν)-spaces were defined as the almost cosymplectic manifolds whose structure tensor fields satisfy a certain special curvature condition. Amongst other results, it was proved there that any almost cosymplectic (κ, μ, ν)-space can be 𝒟 -homothetically deformed to an almost cosymplectic −1, μ′, 0)-space. In the present paper, a complete local description of almost cosymplectic (−1, μ, 0)-speces is established: “models” of such spaces are constructed,...
