Closedness Property

In this paper, we introduce a new kind of Riemannian manifold that generalize the concept of weakly Z-symmetric and pseudo-Z-symmetric manifolds. First a Z form associated to the Z tensor is defined. Then the notion of Z recurrent form is introduced. We take into consideration Riemannian manifolds in which the Z form is recurrent. This kind of manifold is named ( ZRF )n. The main result of the paper is that the closedness property of the associated covector is achieved also for rank (Zkl) > 2. Thus the existence of a proper concircular vector in the conformally harmonic case and the form of the Ricci tensor are confirmed for( ZRF )n manifolds with rank (Zkl) > 2. This includes and enlarges the corresponding results already proven for pseudo-Z-symmetric ( PZS )n and weakly Z-symmetric manifolds ( WZS )n in the case of non-singular Z tensor. In the last sections we study special conformally flat ( ZRF )n and give a brief account of Z recurrent forms on Kaehler manifolds.

In this paper, we introduce a new tensor named [Formula: see text]-tensor which generalizes the [Formula: see text]-tensor introduced by Mantica and Suh [Pseudo [Formula: see text] symmetric Riemannian manifolds with harmonic curvature tensors, Int. J. Geom. Methods Mod. Phys. 9(1) (2012) 1250004]. Then, we study pseudo-[Formula: see text]-symmetric manifolds [Formula: see text] which generalize some known structures on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. We provide several interesting results which generalize the results of Mantica and Suh [Pseudo [Formula: see text] symmetric Riemannian manifolds with harmonic curvature tensors, Int. J. Geom. Methods Mod. Phys. 9(1) (2012) 1250004]. At first, we prove the existence of a [Formula: see text]. Next, we prove that a pseudo-Riemannian manifold is [Formula: see text]-semisymmetric if and only if it is Ricci-semisymmetric. After this, we obtain a sufficient condition for a [Formula: see text] to be pseudo-Ricci symmetric in the sense of Deszcz. Also, we obtain the explicit form of the Ricci tensor in a [Formula: see text] if the [Formula: see text]-tensor is of Codazzi type. Finally, we consider conformally flat pseudo-[Formula: see text]-symmetric manifolds and prove that a [Formula: see text] spacetime is a [Formula: see text]-wave under certain conditions.

AbstractIn this paper, we establish a finiteness theorem for $L^{p}$ L p harmonic 1-forms on a locally conformally flat Riemannian manifold under the assumptions on the Schrödinger operators involving the squared norm of the traceless Ricci form. This result can be regarded as a generalization of Han’s result on $L^{2}$ L 2 harmonic 1-forms.

Let (M, g) be a C∞ Riemannian manifold and A be the field of symmetric endomorphisms corresponding to the Ricci tensor S; that is,We consider a condition weaker than the requirement that A be parallel (▽ A = 0), namely, that the “second exterior covariant derivative” vanish ( ▽x▽YA — ▽Y ▽XA — ▽[X,Y]A = 0), which by the classical interchange formula reduces to the propertywhere R(X, Y) is the curvature transformation determined by the vector fields X and Y.The property (P) is equivalent toTo see this we observe first that a skew symmetric and a symmetric endomorphism commute if and only if their product is skew symmetric.

AbstractWe classify the harmonic morphisms with one-dimensional fibres (1) from real-analytic conformally-flat Riemannian manifolds of dimension at least four (Theorem 3.1), and (2) between conformally-flat Riemannian manifolds of dimensions at least three (Corollaries 3.4 and 3.6).Also, we prove (Proposition 2.5) an integrability result for any real-analytic submersion, from a constant curvature Riemannian manifold of dimensionn+2 to a Riemannian manifold of dimension 2, which can be factorised as ann-harmonic morphism with two-dimensional fibres, to a conformally-flat Riemannian manifold, followed by a horizontally conformal submersion, (n≥4).

Abstract.In this paper we characterize K-contact semi-Riemannian manifolds and Sasakian semi- Riemannian manifolds in terms of curvature. Moreover, we show that any conformally flat K-contact semi-Riemannian manifold is Sasakian and of constant sectional curvature κ = ɛ, where ɛ = ± denotes the causal character of the Reeb vector field. Finally, we give some results about the curvature of a K-contact Lorentzian manifold.

Metric Connection

The authors firstly in this paper define a semi-symmetric metric non-holonomic connection (in briefly, SS-connection) on sub-Riemannian manifolds. An invariant under a SS-connection transformation is obtained. The authors then further give a result that a sub-Riemannian manifold $(M,V_{0},g,\bar{\nabla})$ is locally horizontally flat if and only if $M$ is horizontally conformally flat and horizontally Ricci flat.

Arbitrary Signature

In this paper, we introduce the notion of recurrent conformal 2-forms on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of arbitrary signature. Some theorems already proved for the same differential structure on a Riemannian manifold are proven to hold in this more general contest. Moreover other interesting results are pointed out; it is proven that if the associated covector is closed, then the Ricci tensor is Riemann compatible or equivalently, Weyl compatible: these notions were recently introduced and investigated by one of the present authors. Further some new results about the vanishing of some Weyl scalars on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold are given: it turns out that they are consequence of the generalized Derdziński–Shen theorem. Topological properties involving the vanishing of Pontryagin forms and recurrent conformal 2-forms are then stated. Finally, we study the properties of recurrent conformal 2-forms on Lorentzian manifolds (space-times). Previous theorems stated on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of arbitrary signature are then interpreted in the light of the classification of space-times in four or in higher dimensions.

Abstract To study the prescribed $k$-curvature problem of 2nd-order symmetric curvature tensors on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds, we consider a class of fully nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations. It is proved that on a Riemannian manifold with negative sectional curvature and Ricci curvature bounded from below, the equation is solvable provided that all the eigenvalues of the tensor are negative. The result is applicable to the prescribed $k$-curvature problems of modified Schouten tensor and Bakry–Émery Ricci tensor.

In this article, we show that the presence of a concircular vector field on a Riemannian manifold can be used to obtain rigidity results for Riemannian and Kaehler manifolds. More precisely, we find new geometrical characterizations of spheres, Euclidean spaces as well as of complex Euclidean spaces using non-trivial concircular vector fields.
