Isometry Groups and Geodesic Foliations of Lorentz Manifolds. Part Ii: Geometry of Analytic Lorentz Manifolds with Large Isometry Groups

چکیده
This is part II of a series on noncompact isometry groups of Lorentz manifolds. We have introduced in part I, a compactification of these isometry groups, and called “bipolarized” those Lorentz manifolds having a “trivial ” compactification. Here we show a geometric rigidity of non-bipolarized Lorentz manifolds; that is, they are (at least locally) warped products of constant curvature Lorentz manifolds by Riemannian manifolds.

Actions of Discrete Groups on Stationary Lorentz Manifolds
We study the geometry of compact Lorentzian manifolds that admit a somewhere timelike Killing vector field, and whose isometry group has infinitely many connected components. Up to a finite cover, such manifolds are products (or amalgamated products) of a flat Lorentzian torus and a compact Riemannian (resp., lightlike) manifold.
متن کاملCompact Lorentz manifolds with local symmetry
We prove a structure theorem for compact aspherical Lorentz manifolds with abundant local symmetry. If M is a compact, aspherical, real-analytic, complete Lorentz manifold such that the isometry group of the universal cover has semisimple identity component, then the local isometry orbits in M are roughly fibers of a fiber bundle. A corollary is that if M has an open, dense, locally homogeneous...
متن کاملOn the k-nullity foliations in Finsler geometry
Here, a Finsler manifold $(M,F)$ is considered with corresponding curvature tensor, regarded as $2$-forms on the bundle of non-zero tangent vectors. Certain subspaces of the tangent spaces of $M$ determined by the curvature are introduced and called $k$-nullity foliations of the curvature operator. It is shown that if the dimension of foliation is constant, then the distribution is involutive...
متن کاملOn Homogeneous Hermite-lorentz Spaces
We define naturally Hermite-Lorentz metrics on almost-complex manifolds as special case of pseudo-Riemannian metrics compatible with the almost complex structure. We study their isometry groups.
متن کاملA classification of hyperbolic manifolds related to the three-dimensional torus
L. Paoluzzi constructed a family of compact orientable three-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds with totally geodesic boundary, which were, by construction, closely related to the three-dimensional torus. This paper gives their complete classification up to isometry, and also their isometry groups. The key tool is the so-called canonical decomposition of hyperbolic manifolds.
