Conformal Actions of Nilpotent Groups on Pseudo-riemannian Manifolds Charles Frances and Karin Melnick
A basic question, first addressed by A. Lichnerowicz, is to characterize the pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (M,σ) for which Conf M does not preserve any metric in [σ]; in this case, Conf M is essential. The Lichnerowicz conjecture, proved by J. Lelong-Ferrand [LF1], says, for (M,σ) a Riemannian manifold of dimension ≥ 2, if Conf M is essential, then M is conformally equivalent to the round sphere ...
متن کاملSpaces of Conformal Vector Fields on Pseudo-riemannian Manifolds
We study Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which carry the space of closed conformal vector fields of at least 2-dimension. Subject to the condition that at each point the set of closed conformal vector fields spans a non-degenerate subspace of the tangent space at the point, we prove a global and a local classification theorems for such manifolds.
متن کاملClosed conformal vector fields on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds
∇XV = λX for every vector field X. (1.2) Here ∇ denotes the Levi-Civita connection of g. We call vector fields satisfying (1.2) closed conformal vector fields. They appear in the work of Fialkow [3] about conformal geodesics, in the works of Yano [7–11] about concircular geometry in Riemannian manifolds, and in the works of Tashiro [6], Kerbrat [4], Kühnel and Rademacher [5], and many other aut...
متن کاملParallel spinors and holonomy groups on pseudo-Riemannian spin manifolds
We describe the possible holonomy groups of simply connected irreducible non-locally symmetric pseudo-Riemannian spin manifolds which admit parallel spinors.
متن کاملOrthogonal Polynomials of Compact Simple Lie Groups
Recursive algebraic construction of two infinite families of polynomials in n variables is proposed as a uniform method applicable to every semisimple Lie group of rank n. Its result recognizes Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind as the special case of the simple group of type A1. The obtained not Laurent-type polynomials are equivalent to the partial cases of theMacdonald symmet...
