Curvature relations in almost product manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
New relations involving curvature components for the various connections appearing in the theory of almost product manifolds are given and the conformal behaviour of these connections are studied. New identities for the irreducible parts of the deformation tensor are derived. Some direct physical applications in Kaluza–Klein and gauge theory are discussed. [email protected] [email protected]

ACTION OF SEMISIMPLE ISOMERY GROUPS ON SOME RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS OF NONPOSITIVE CURVATURE
A manifold with a smooth action of a Lie group G is called G-manifold. In this paper we consider a complete Riemannian manifold M with the action of a closed and connected Lie subgroup G of the isometries. The dimension of the orbit space is called the cohomogeneity of the action. Manifolds having actions of cohomogeneity zero are called homogeneous. A classic theorem about Riemannian manifolds...
متن کاملWarped product and quasi-Einstein metrics
Warped products provide a rich class of physically significant geometric objects. Warped product construction is an important method to produce a new metric with a base manifold and a fibre. We construct compact base manifolds with a positive scalar curvature which do not admit any non-trivial quasi-Einstein warped product, and non compact complete base manifolds which do not admit any non-triv...

In this paper we study curvature properties of semi - symmetric type of totally umbilical radical transversal lightlike hypersurfaces $(M,g)$ and $(M,widetilde g)$ of a K"ahler-Norden manifold $(overline M,overline J,overline g,overline { widetilde g})$ of constant totally real sectional curvatures $overline nu$ and $overline {widetilde nu}$ ($g$ and $widetilde g$ are the induced metrics on $M$...
متن کاملA General Schwarz Lemma for Almost-hermitian Manifolds
We prove a version of Yau’s Schwarz Lemma for general almost-complex manifolds equipped with almost-Hermitian metrics. This requires an extension to this setting of the Laplacian comparison theorem. As an application we show that the product of two almost-complex manifolds does not admit any complete almost-Hermitian metric with bisectional curvature bounded between two negative constants that ...
متن کاملOn Stretch curvature of Finsler manifolds
In this paper, Finsler metrics with relatively non-negative (resp. non-positive), isotropic and constant stretch curvature are studied. In particular, it is showed that every compact Finsler manifold with relatively non-positive (resp. non-negative) stretch curvature is a Landsberg metric. Also, it is proved that every (α,β)-metric of non-zero constant flag curvature and non-zero relatively i...
