Curvature homogeneous spaces whose curvature tensors have large symmetries
We study curvature homogeneous spaces or locally homogeneous spaces whose curvature tensors are invariant by the action of “large” Lie subalgebras h of so(n). In this paper we deal with the cases of h = so(r)⊕ so(n− r) (2 ≤ r ≤ n− r), so(n− 2), and the Lie algebras of Lie groups acting transitively on spheres, and classify such curvature homogeneous spaces or locally homogeneous spaces.
متن کاملOn the Structure of Metric-like Spaces
The main purpose of this paper is to introduce several concepts of the metric-like spaces. For instance, we define concepts such as equal-like points, cluster points and completely separate points. Furthermore, this paper is an attempt to present compatibility definitions for the distance between a point and a subset of a metric-like space and also for the distance between two subsets of a metr...
متن کاملGeometric Theory of Equiaffine Curvature Tensors
From [4] we continue the algebraic investigation of generalized and equiaffine curvature tensors in a given pseudo-Euclidean vector space and study different orthogonal, irreducible decompositions in analogy to the known decomposition of algebraic curvature tensors. We apply the decomposition results to characterize geometric properties of Codazzi structures and relative hypersurfaces; particul...
متن کاملKernels of Canonical Algebraic Curvature Tensors
In this paper, we generalize a result on the possible dimensions of the kernel of a linear combination of a particular type of canonical algebraic curvature tensors. We then introduce a new framework for viewing canonical algebraic curvature tensors, using the wedge product, which allows us to give shorter and more transparent proofs of some basic facts about these tensors.
متن کاملProof of a decomposition theorem for symmetric tensors on spaces with constant curvature
In cosmological perturbation theory a first major step consists in the decomposition of the various perturbation amplitudes into scalar, vector and tensor perturbations, which mutually decouple. In performing this decomposition one uses – beside the Hodge decomposition for one-forms – an analogous decomposition of symmetric tensor fields of second rank on Riemannian manifolds with constant curv...
