regarding the kähler-einstein structure on cartan spaces with berwald connection
a cartan manifold is a smooth manifold m whose slit cotangent bundle 0t *m is endowed with a regularhamiltonian k which is positively homogeneous of degree 2 in momenta. the hamiltonian k defines a (pseudo)-riemannian metric ij g in the vertical bundle over 0 t *m and using it, a sasaki type metric on 0 t *m is constructed. a natural almost complex structure is also defined by k on 0 t *m in su...
متن کاملThe Normal Conformal Cartan Connection and the Bach Tensor
The goal of this paper is to express the Bach tensor of a four dimensional conformal geometry of an arbitrary signature by the Cartan normal conformal (CNC) connection. We show that the Bach tensor can be identified with the Yang–Mills current of the connection. It follows from that result that a conformal geometry whose CNC connection is reducible in an appropriate way has a degenerate Bach te...
متن کاملCartan Structure of Infinite Lie Pseudogroups
Since Chevalley’s seminal work [12], the definition of Lie group has been universally agreed. Namely, a Lie group G is an analytic manifold G on which is defined an analytic group operation ∗ with analytic inverse. The historical evolution of this definition was not direct. In the 1870s when Lie began his work on “continuous groups of transformations”, the notion of abstract group was in its in...
متن کاملThe Maurer-Cartan structure of BRST differential
In this paper, we construct a new sequence of generators of the BRST complex and reformulate the BRST differential so that it acts on elements of the complex much like the Maurer-Cartan differential acts on left-invariant forms. Thus our BRST differential is formally analogous to the differential defined on the BRST formulation of the Chevalley-Eilenberg cochain complex of a Lie algebra. Moreov...
متن کاملTangent Hyperplanes to Subriemannian Balls
We examine the existence of tangent hyperplanes to subriemannian balls. Strictly abnormal shortest paths are allowed.
