Connexions with Totally Skew-symmetric Torsion and Nearly-kähler Geometry
We study almost Hermitian structures admitting a Hermitian connexion with totally skew-symmetric torsion or equivalently, those almost Hermitian structures with totally skewsymmetric Nijenhuis tensor. We investigate up to what extent the Nijenhuis tensor fails to be parallel with respect to the characteristic connexion. This is naturally described by means of an extension of the notion of Killi...
متن کاملSpin(9)-structures and Connections with Totally Skew-symmetric Torsion
We study Spin(9)-structures on 16-dimensional Riemannian manifolds and characterize the geometric types admitting a connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion.
متن کاملComponentwise conformal vector fields on Riemannian almost product manifolds
On a Riemannian almost product manifold, the notion of a componentwise conformal vector field is introduced and several examples are exhibited. We show that this class of vector fields is a conformal invariant. For a compact manifold, a Bochner type integral formula for the Ricci tensor on such vector fields is obtained. Then, integral inequalities which link a curvature condition with the exis...
متن کاملA Natural Connection on (2, 3) Sub-riemannian Manifolds
We build an analogue for the Levi-Civita connection on Riemannian manifolds for sub-Riemannian manfiolds modeled on the Heisenberg group. We demonstrate some geometric properties of this connection to justify our choice and show that this connection is unique in having these properties.
متن کاملTotally Skew Embeddings of Manifolds
We study a version of Whitney’s embedding problem in projective geometry: What is the smallest dimension of an affine space that can contain an n-dimensional submanifold without any pairs of parallel or intersecting tangent lines at distinct points? This problem is related to the generalized vector field problem, existence of non-singular bilinear maps, and the immersion problem for real projec...
