SOME NEW IDENTITIES FOR THE SECOND COVARIANT DERIVATIVE OF THE CURVATURE TENSOR

In this paper we study the second covariant derivative of Riemannian curvature tensor. Some new identities for the second covariant derivative are given. Namely, identities obtained by cyclic sum with respect to three indices are given. In the first case, two curvature tensor indices and one covariant derivative index participate in the cyclic sum, while in the second case one curvature tensor index and two covariant derivative indices participate in the cyclic sum.

Certain results on invariant submanifolds of an almost Kenmotsu $$(\kappa ,\mu ,\nu )$$-space

In the present paper, we study invariant submanifolds of almost Kenmotsu structures whose Riemannian curvature tensor has $$(\kappa ,\mu ,\nu )$$ ( κ , μ , ν ) -nullity distribution. Since the geometry of an invariant submanifold inherits almost all properties of the ambient manifold, we research how the functions $$\kappa ,\mu $$ κ , μ and $$\nu $$ ν behave on the submanifold. In this connection, necessary and sufficient conditions are investigated for an invariant submanifold of an almost Kenmotsu $$(\kappa ,\mu ,\nu )$$ ( κ , μ , ν ) -space to be totally geodesic under some conditions.

A Study of New Class of Almost Contact Metric Manifolds of Kenmotsu Type

In this paper, we characterized a new class of almost contact metric manifolds and established the equivalent conditions of the characterization identity in term of Kirichenko’s tensors. We demonstrated that the Kenmotsu manifold provides the mentioned class; i.e., the new class can be decomposed into a direct sum of the Kenmotsu and other classes. We proved that the manifold of dimension 3 coincided with the Kenmotsu manifold and provided an example of the new manifold of dimension 5, which is not the Kenmotsu manifold. Moreover, we established the Cartan’s structure equations, the components of Riemannian curvature tensor and the Ricci tensor of the class under consideration. Further,the conditions required for this to be an Einstein manifold have been determined.

Tensor invariants of generalized Kenmotsu manifolds

In this paper, we study the properties of generalized Kenmotsu manifolds, consider the second-order differential geometric invariants of the Riemannian curvature tensor of generalized Kenmotsu manifolds (by the symmetry properties of the Riemannian geometry tensor). The concept of a tensor spectrum is introduced. Nine invariants are singled out and the geometric meaning of these invariants turning to zero are investigated. The identities characterizing the selected classes are singled out. Also, 9 classes of generalized Kenmotsu manifolds are distinguished, the local structure of 8 classes from the selected ones is obtained.

Some notes on metallic Kähler manifolds

The present paper deals with metallic K?hler manifolds. Firstly, we define a tensor H which can be written in terms of the (0,4)-Riemannian curvature tensor and the fundamental 2-form of a metallic K?hler manifold and study its properties and some hybrid tensors. Secondly, weobtain the conditions under which a metallic Hermitian manifold is conformal to a metallic K?hler manifold. Thirdly, we prove that the conformal recurrency of a metallic K?hler manifold implies its recurrency and also obtain the Riemannian curvature tensor form of a conformally recurrent metallic K?hler manifold with non-zero scalar curvature. Finally, we present a result related to the notion of Z recurrent form on a metallic K?hler manifold.

Identities of the Riemannian Curvature Tensor of Almost C(ʎ)-Manifolds

The geometry of the Riemannian curvature tensor of an almost C(λ)-manifold is studied. We have obtained several identities of the Riemannian curvature tensor of almost C(λ)-manifolds. Four additional identities are distinguished from these identities, on the basis of which four classes of almost C(λ)-manifolds are determined. A local classification of each of the distinguished classes of almost C(λ)-manifolds is obtained. It is proved that the set of almost C(λ)-manifolds of class R_1 coincides with the set of almost C(λ)-manifolds of class R_2, and it is also proved that the set of almost C(λ)-manifolds of class R_3 coincides with the set of almost C(λ)- manifolds of class R_4. We have found that an almost C(λ)-manifold, dimension greater than 3, is a manifold of class R_4 if and only if it is a cosymplectic manifold, i.e. when it is locally equivalent to the product of the Kähler manifold and the real line.

On Some Aspects of Geometry of Almost C(λ)-manifolds

In this paper almost C(λ)-manifolds are considered. The local structure of Ricci-flat almost C(λ)-manifolds is obtained. On the space of the adjoint G-structure, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained under which the al-most C(λ)-manifolds are manifolds of constant curvature and the structure of the Riemannian curvature tensor of an almost C(λ)-manifold of constant curvature is obtained. Relations are obtained that characterize the Einstein almost C(λ)-manifolds. It is proved that a complete almost C(λ)-Einstein manifold is either holomorphically isometrically covered by the product of a real line by a Ricciflat Kähler manifold, or is compact and has a finite fundamental group. For almost C(λ)-manifolds that are -Einstein, analytic expressions for the functions  and  characterizing these manifolds are obtained. It is shown that an almost C(λ)-manifold has an Ф-invariant Ricci tensor. We study also almost C(λ)-manifolds of pointwise constant Ф-holomorphic sectional curvature.

Impact of instantaneous curvature on force and heat generation in manufacturing processes – a mathematical modelling

Purpose In any machining process, the surface profile of the workpiece is continuously changing with respect to time and input parameters. In a conventional machining process, input parameters are feed and depth of cut whilst other parameters are considered to be constant throughout the process. Design/methodology/approach The direct and indirect participation of this instantaneous curvature can be used to optimize the strategy of cutting operation in terms of different parameters like heat generation-induced stresses, etc. The concepts of the metric tensor and Riemannian curvature tensor are made use in this study as a representation of curvature itself. The objective of this study is to create a mathematical methodology that can be implemented on a highly flexible machining process to find an optimum cutting strategy for a particular output parameter. Findings The study also includes different case studies for the validation of this newly introduced mathematical methodology. Originality/value The study will also find its position in other mechanical processes like forging and casting where instantaneous curvature affects various mechanical properties.
