چکیده
We define a generalized mass for asymptotically flat manifolds using some higher order symmetric function of the curvature tensor. This mass is nonnegative when the manifold is locally conformally flat and the σk curvature vanishes at infinity. In addition, with the above assumptions, if the mass is zero, then, near infinity, the manifold is isometric to a Euclidean end.

Symmetric curvature tensor
Recently, we have used the symmetric bracket of vector fields, and developed the notion of the symmetric derivation. Using this machinery, we have defined the concept of symmetric curvature. This concept is natural and is related to the notions divergence and Laplacian of vector fields. This concept is also related to the derivations on the algebra of symmetric forms which has been discu...
متن کاملCommutative curvature operators over four-dimensional generalized symmetric spaces
Commutative properties of four-dimensional generalized symmetric pseudo-Riemannian manifolds were considered. Specially, in this paper, we studied Skew-Tsankov and Jacobi-Tsankov conditions in 4-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian generalized symmetric manifolds.
متن کاملGeneralized Symmetric Berwald Spaces
In this paper we study generalized symmetric Berwald spaces. We show that if a Berwald space $(M,F)$ admits a parallel $s-$structure then it is locally symmetric. For a complete Berwald space which admits a parallel s-structure we show that if the flag curvature of $(M,F)$ is everywhere nonzero, then $F$ is Riemannian.
متن کاملOn a class of paracontact Riemannian manifold
We classify the paracontact Riemannian manifolds that their Riemannian curvature satisfies in the certain condition and we show that this classification is hold for the special cases semi-symmetric and locally symmetric spaces. Finally we study paracontact Riemannian manifolds satisfying R(X, ξ).S = 0, where S is the Ricci tensor.
متن کاملGeneralized matrix functions, determinant and permanent
In this paper, using permutation matrices or symmetric matrices, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a generalized matrix function to be the determinant or the permanent. We prove that a generalized matrix function is the determinant or the permanent if and only if it preserves the product of symmetric permutation matrices. Also we show that a generalized matrix function is the de...
