Conformal holonomy of C-spaces, Ricci-flat, and Lorentzian manifolds
The main result of this paper is that a Lorentzian manifold is locally conformally equivalent to a manifold with recurrent lightlike vector field and totally isotropic Ricci tensor if and only if its conformal tractor holonomy admits a 2-dimensional totally isotropic invariant subspace. Furthermore, for semi-Riemannian manifolds of arbitrary signature we prove that the conformal holonomy algebr...
متن کاملLocally conformal flat Riemannian manifolds with constant principal Ricci curvatures and locally conformal flat C-spaces
It is proved that every locally conformal flat Riemannian manifold all of whose Jacobi operators have constant eigenvalues along every geodesic is with constant principal Ricci curvatures. A local classification (up to an isometry) of locally conformal flat Riemannian manifold with constant Ricci eigenvalues is given in dimensions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. It is shown that any n-dimensional (4 ≤ n ≤ 8)...
متن کاملRicci-Flat Anti-Self-Dual Asymptotically Locally Euclidean 4-Manifolds
of the Dissertation Ricci-Flat Anti-Self-Dual Asymptotically Locally Euclidean 4-Manifolds by Evan Patrick Wright Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics Stony Brook University 2013 A classification result for Ricci-flat anti-self-dual asymptotically locally Euclidean 4-manifolds is obtained: they are either hyperkähler (one of the gravitational instantons classified by Kronheimer), or a cyclic quo...
متن کاملConformally Flat Manifolds with Nonnegative Ricci Curvature
We show that complete conformally flat manifolds of dimension n > 3 with nonnegative Ricci curvature enjoy nice rigidity properties: they are either flat, or locally isometric to a product of a sphere and a line, or are globally conformally equivalent to R n or a spherical spaceform Sn/Γ. This extends previous results due to Q.-M. Cheng and B.-L. Chen and X.-P. Zhu. In this note, we study compl...
متن کاملAn equation of Monge-Ampère type in conformal geometry, and four-manifolds of positive Ricci curvature
We formulate natural conformally invariant conditions on a 4-manifold for the existence of a metric whose Schouten tensor satisfies a quadratic inequality. This inequality implies that the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor are positively pinched.
