In this paper we shall consider a generalization of a very old problem in differential geometry; namely, given a second-order covariant tensor field aij(x) on an n-dimensional manifold, when does there exist a connection such that the covariant derivative, defined byvanishes?The earliest question of this type arose in the case when is symmetric and positive definite. A solution connection of the problem is then given by the Christoffel symbols

Finsler geometry is a kind of differential geometry originated by P. Finsler. Indeed, Finsler geometry has several uses in a wide variety and it is playing an important role in differential geometry and applied mathematics of problems in physics relative, manual footprint. It is usually considered as a generalization of Riemannian geometry. In the present paper, we introduced some types of generalized $W^{h}$ -birecurrent Finsler space, generalized $W^{h}$ -birecurrent affinely connected space and we defined a Finsler space $F_{n}$ for Weyl's projective curvature tensor $W_{jkh}^{i}$ satisfies the generalized-birecurrence condition with respect to Cartan's connection parameters $\Gamma ^{\ast i}_{kh}$, such that given by the condition (\ref{2.1}), where $\left\vert m\right. \left\vert n\right. $ is\ h-covariant derivative of second order (Cartan's second kind covariant differential operator) with respect to $x^{m}$ \ and $x^{n}$ ,\ successively, $\lambda _{mn}$ and $\mu _{mn~}$ are\ non-null covariant vectors field and such space is called as a generalized $W^{h}$ -birecurrent\ space and denoted briefly by $GW^{h}$ - $BRF_{n}$ . We have obtained some theorems of generalized $W^{h}$ -birecurrent affinely connected space for the h-covariant derivative of the second order for Wely's projective torsion tensor $~W_{kh}^{i}$ , Wely's projective deviation tensor $~W_{h}^{i}$ in our space. We have obtained the necessary and sufficient condition forsome tensors in our space.

This paper generalizes Einstein's theorem. It is shown that under the transformationTΛ:Uikℓ→U¯ikℓ≡Uikℓ+δiℓΛk−δkℓΛi, curvature tensorSkℓmi(U), Ricci tensorSik(U), and scalar curvatureS(U)are all invariant, whereΛ=Λjdxjis a closed1-differential form on ann-dimensional manifoldM.It is still shown that for arbitraryU, the transformation that makes curvature tensorSkℓmi(U)(or Ricci tensorSik(U)) invariantTV:Uikℓ→U¯ikℓ≡Uikℓ+Vikℓmust beTΛtransformation, whereV(its components areVikℓ) is a second order differentiable covariant tensor field with vector value.

Space Curvature

The paper is a continuation of the last paper communicated to these 'Proceedings.' In that paper, which we shall refer to as the first paper, a more general expression for space curvature was obtained than that which occurs in Riemannian geometry, by a modification of the Riemannian covariant derivative and by the use of a fifth co-ordinate. By means of a particular substitution (∆ μσ σ = 1/ψ ∂ψ/∂x μ ) it was shown that this curvature takes the form of the second order equation of quantum mechanics. It is not a matrix equation, however but one which has the character of the wave equation as it occurred in the earlier form of the quantum theory. But it contains additional terms, all of which can be readily accounted for in physics, expect on which suggested an identification with energy of the spin.

AbstractLet ${\cal E}$ be a topos, ${\rm{Dec}}\left( {\cal E} \right) \to {\cal E}$ be the full subcategory of decidable objects, and ${{\cal E}_{\neg \,\,\neg }} \to {\cal E}$ be the full subcategory of double-negation sheaves. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of a Unity and Identity ${\cal E} \to {\cal S}$ for the two subcategories of ${\cal E}$ above, making them Adjointly Opposite. Typical examples of such ${\cal E}$ include many ‘gros’ toposes in Algebraic Geometry, simplicial sets and other toposes of ‘combinatorial’ spaces in Algebraic Topology, and certain models of Synthetic Differential Geometry.

SynopsisThe paper gives asymptotic estimates of the formas λ→∞ for the length l(μ)of a gap, centre μ in the essential spectrum associated with second-order singular differential operators. The integer r will be shown to depend on the differentiability properties of the coefficients in the operators and, in fact, r increases with the increasing differentiability of the coefficients. The results extend to all r ≧ – 2 the long-standing ones of Hartman and Putnam [10], who dealt with r = 0, 1, 2.

SummaryIn this note a renewal density theorem in the multi-dimensional case is formulated and proved. Let f(x) be the density function of a p-dimensional random variable with positive mean vector μ and positive-definite covariance matrix Σ, let hn(x) be the n-fold convolution of f(x) with itself, and set Then for arbitrary choice of integers k1, …, kp–1 distinct or not in the set (1, 2, …, p), it is shown that under certain conditions as all elements in the vector x = (x1, …, xp) become large. In the above expression μ‵ is interpreted as a row vector and μ a column vector. An application to the theory of a class of age-dependent branching processes is also presented.

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.
