AbstractWe consider an asymptotically flat Lorentzian manifold of dimension (1, 3). An inequality is derived which bounds the Riemannian curvature tensor in terms of the ADM energy in the general case with second fundamental form. The inequality quantifies in which sense the Lorentzianmanifold becomes flat in the limit when the ADM energy tends to zero.

The paper deals with the study of $\mathcal{M}$-projective curvature tensor on $(k, \mu)$-contact metric manifolds. We classify non-Sasakian $(k, \mu)$-contact metric manifold satisfying the conditions $R(\xi, X)\cdot \mathcal{M} = 0$ and $\mathcal{M}(\xi, X)\cdot S =0$, where $R$ and $S$ are the Riemannian curvature tensor and the Ricci tensor, respectively. Finally, we prove that a $(k, \mu)$-contact metric manifold with vanishing extended $\mathcal{M}$-projective curvature tensor $\mathcal{M}^{e}$ is a Sasakian manifold.

AbstractIn this paper we get different characterizations of the spherical strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds admitting a CR-symmetric Webster metric by means of the Tanaka–Webster connection and of the Riemannian curvature tensor. As a consequence we obtain the classification of the simply connected, spherical symmetric pseudo-Hermitian manifolds.

Abstract In this work we prove convergence results of sequences of Riemannian 4-manifolds with almost vanishing {L^{2}} -norm of a curvature tensor and a non-collapsing bound on the volume of small balls. In Theorem 1.1 we consider a sequence of closed Riemannian 4-manifolds, whose {L^{2}} -norm of the Riemannian curvature tensor tends to zero. Under the assumption of a uniform non-collapsing bound and a uniform diameter bound, we prove that there exists a subsequence that converges with respect to the Gromov–Hausdorff topology to a flat manifold. In Theorem 1.2 we consider a sequence of closed Riemannian 4-manifolds, whose {L^{2}} -norm of the Riemannian curvature tensor is uniformly bounded from above, and whose {L^{2}} -norm of the traceless Ricci-tensor tends to zero. Here, under the assumption of a uniform non-collapsing bound, which is very close to the Euclidean situation, and a uniform diameter bound, we show that there exists a subsequence which converges in the Gromov–Hausdorff sense to an Einstein manifold. In order to prove Theorem 1.1 and Theorem 1.2, we use a smoothing technique, which is called {L^{2}} -curvature flow. This method was introduced by Jeffrey Streets. In particular, we use his “tubular averaging technique” in order to prove distance estimates of the {L^{2}} -curvature flow, which only depend on significant geometric bounds. This is the content of Theorem 1.3.

The present paper deals the study of generalised Sasakian-space-forms with the conditions Cq(ξ,X).S = 0, Cq(ξ,X).R = 0 and Cq(ξ,X).Cq = 0, where R, S and Cq denote Riemannian curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and quasi-conformal curvature tensor of the space-form, respectively and at last, we have given some examples to improve our results.

AbstractThe geometry of indicatrices is the foundation of Minkowski geometry. A strongly convex indicatrix in a vector space is a strongly convex hypersurface. It admits a Riemannian metric and has a distinguished invariant—(Cartan) torsion. We prove the existence of non-trivial strongly convex indicatrices with vanishing mean torsion and discuss the relationship between the mean torsion and the Riemannian curvature tensor for indicatrices of Randers type.

Generalized Robertson–Walker (GRW) spacetime is the generalization of the Robertson–Walker (RW) spacetime and a further generalization of GRW spacetime is the twisted spacetime. In this paper, we generalize the results of the paper [C. A. Mantica, Y. J. Suh and U. C. De, A note on generalized Robertson–Walker spacetimes, Int. J. Geom. Methods Mod. Phys. 13 (2016), Article Id: 1650079, 9 pp., doi: 101142/s0219887816500791 ]. We prove that a Ricci simple Lorentzian manifold with vanishing quasi-conformal curvature tensor is a RW spacetime. Further, we prove that a Ricci simple Lorentzian manifold with harmonic quasi-conformal curvature tensor is a GRW spacetime. As a consequence, we obtain several corollaries. Finally, we have cited some examples of the obtained results.
