Conformally Flat Submanifolds in Spheres and Integrable Systems
É. Cartan proved that conformally flat hypersurfaces in Sn+1 for n > 3 have at most two distinct principal curvatures and locally envelop a one-parameter family of (n − 1)-spheres. We prove that the Gauss-Codazzi equation for conformally flat hypersurfaces in S4 is a soliton equation, and use a dressing action from soliton theory to construct geometric Ribaucour transforms of these hypersurface...
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 کاملOn Normally Flat Einstein Submanifolds
The purpose of this paper is to study the second fundamental form of some submanifolds M in Euclidean spaces E" which have flat normal connection. As such, Theorem gives precise expressions for the (essentially 2) Weingarten maps of all 4-dimensional Emstem submanifolds in E6, which are specialized in Corollary 2 to the Rcciflat submanifolds. The main part ofthis paper deals with fiat submanifo...
متن کاملKaluza-klein Reduction of Conformally Flat Spaces
A “conformal tensor” is constructed from the metric tensor gMN (or Vielbein e A M ) and is invariant against Weyl rescaling gMN → egMN (or eM → eeM ). Moreover, it vanishes if and only if the space is conformally flat, gMN = e ηMN (or e A M = eδ M ). In dimension four or greater the conformal tensor is the Weyl tensor. In three dimensions the Weyl tensor vanishes identically, while the Cotton t...
متن کاملTwistors in Conformally Flat Einstein Four-manifolds
Abstract. This paper studies the two-component spinor form of massive spin2 potentials in conformally flat Einstein four-manifolds. Following earlier work in the literature, a nonvanishing cosmological constant makes it necessary to introduce a supercovariant derivative operator. The analysis of supergauge transformations of primary and secondary potentials for spin 3 2 shows that the gauge fre...
