The 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 کاملConformal mappings preserving the Einstein tensor of Weyl manifolds
In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a conformal mapping between two Weyl manifolds to preserve Einstein tensor. Then we prove that some basic curvature tensors of $W_n$ are preserved by such a conformal mapping if and only if the covector field of the mapping is locally a gradient. Also, we obtained the relation between the scalar curvatures of the Weyl manifolds r...
متن کاملOn the Einstein-Weyl and conformal self-duality equations
The equations governing anti-self-dual and Einstein-Weyl conformal geometries can be regarded as ‘master dispersionless systems’ in four and three dimensions respectively. Their integrability by twistor methods has been established by Penrose and Hitchin. In this note we present, in specially adapted coordinate systems, explicit forms of the corresponding equations and their Lax pairs. In parti...
متن کاملA Conformal Hyperbolic Formulation of the Einstein Equations
We propose a re-formulation of the Einstein evolution equations that cleanly separates the conformal degrees of freedom and the non-conformal degrees of freedom with the latter satisfying a first order strongly hyperbolic system. The conformal degrees of freedom are taken to be determined by the choice of slicing and the initial data, and are regarded as given functions (along with the lapse an...
متن کاملEinstein Manifolds and Conformal Field Theories
In light of the AdS/CFT correspondence, it is natural to try to define a conformal field theory in a large N , strong coupling limit via a supergravity compactification on the product of an Einstein manifold and anti-de Sitter space. We consider the fivedimensional manifolds T pq which are coset spaces (SU(2)×SU(2))/U(1). The central charge and a part of the chiral spectrum are calculated, resp...
