چکیده
1 For a description of this process and an explicit expression of the elements of T, see A. Wintner, Spektraltheorie der unendlichen matrizen, 1929, pp. 32-61. 2 These PROCEEDINGS, 17, 676-678 (1931). 8 This fact was pointed out to me by Dr. John Williamson of this department. This particular form of statement is convenient in a solution of the problem of determining the region of the complex plane covered by the values of the composite form (Axlx) under the condition (xlx) = 1. This region, which is known to be convex, is bounded by an algebraic curve as will be shown in a forthcoming note.

Conformal mappings preserving the Einstein tensor of Weyl manifolds
In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a conformal mapping between two Weyl manifolds to preserve Einstein tensor. Then we prove that some basic curvature tensors of $W_n$ are preserved by such a conformal mapping if and only if the covector field of the mapping is locally a gradient. Also, we obtained the relation between the scalar curvatures of the Weyl manifolds r...
متن کاملKilling Tensors and Conformal Killing Tensors from Conformal Killing Vectors
Koutras has proposed some methods to construct reducible proper conformal Killing tensors and Killing tensors (which are, in general, irreducible) when a pair of orthogonal conformal Killing vectors exist in a given space. We give the completely general result demonstrating that this severe restriction of orthogonality is unnecessary. In addition we correct and extend some results concerning Ki...
متن کاملTensor Generalizations of Affine Symmetry Vectors
A definition is suggested for affine symmetry tensors, which generalize the notion of affine vectors in the same way that (conformal) Killing tensors generalize (conformal) Killing vectors. An identity for these tensors is proved, which gives the second derivative of the tensor in terms of the curvature tensor, generalizing a well-known identity for affine vectors. Additionally, the definition ...
متن کاملSymmetries in Differential Geometry: A Computational Approach to Prolongations
Abstract. The aim of this work is to develop a systematic manner to close overdetermined systems arising from conformal Killing tensors (CKT). The research performs this action for 1-tensor and 2-tensors. This research makes it possible to develop a new general method for any rank of CKT. This method can also be applied to other types of Killing equations, as well as to overdetermined systems c...
متن کاملRecurrent metrics in the geometry of second order differential equations
Given a pair (semispray $S$, metric $g$) on a tangent bundle, the family of nonlinear connections $N$ such that $g$ is recurrent with respect to $(S, N)$ with a fixed recurrent factor is determined by using the Obata tensors. In particular, we obtain a characterization for a pair $(N, g)$ to be recurrent as well as for the triple $(S, stackrel{c}{N}, g)$ where $stackrel{c}{N}$ is the canonical ...
