Curvature homogeneous spaces whose curvature tensors have large symmetries

چکیده
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.

On 5-dimensional 2-step homogeneous randers nilmanifolds of Douglas type
In this paper we first obtain the non-Riemannian Randers metrics of Douglas type on two-step homogeneous nilmanifolds of dimension five. Then we explicitly give the flag curvature formulae and the $S$-curvature formulae for the Randers metrics of Douglas type on these spaces. Moreover, we prove that the only simply connected five-dimensional two-step homogeneous Randers nilmanifolds of D...

In this paper it is shown that a Lanczos potential for the Weyl curvature tensor does not exist for all spaces of dimension n ≥ 7. Whether there exists a Lanczos potential [1] for Weyl curvature tensors in dimensions n > 4 has still not been determined. Although Lanczos's original proof [1] for existence was flawed [2], there have subsequently been complete proofs for existence in four dimensio...
متن کاملAlgebraic curvature tensors whose skew-symmetric curvature operator has constant rank 2
Let R be an algebraic curvature tensor for a non-degenerate inner product of signature (p, q) where q ≥ 5. If π is a spacelike 2 plane, let R(π) be the associated skewsymmetric curvature operator. We classify the algebraic curvature tensors so R(·) has constant rank 2 and show these are geometrically realizable by hypersurfaces in flat spaces. We also classify the Ivanov-Petrova algebraic curva...
متن کاملFive–Dimensional φ–Symmetric Spaces
It is still an open problem whether Riemannian manifolds all of whose local geodesic symmetries are volume–preserving (i.e., D’Atri spaces) or more generally, ball–homogeneous spaces, and C-spaces are locally homogeneous or not. We provide some partial positive answers by proving that five–dimensional locally φ–symmetric spaces can be characterized as Sasakian spaces which are ball–homogeneous ...
متن کاملNatural Intrinsic Geometrical Symmetries
A proposal is made for what could well be the most natural symmetrical Riemannian spaces which are homogeneous but not isotropic, i.e. of what could well be the most natural class of symmetrical spaces beyond the spaces of constant Riemannian curvature, that is, beyond the spaces which are homogeneous and isotropic, or, still, the spaces which satisfy the axiom of free mobility.
