Determination of the Metric from the Connection

Some vector fields on a riemannian manifold with semi-symmetric metric connection

In the first part of this paper, some theorems are given for a Riemannian manifold with semi-symmetric metric connection. In the second part of it, some special vector fields, for example, torse-forming vector fields, recurrent vector fields and concurrent vector fields are examined in this manifold. We obtain some properties of this manifold having the vectors mentioned above.

ON THE LIFTS OF SEMI-RIEMANNIAN METRICS

In this paper, we extend Sasaki metric for tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold and Sasaki-Mok metric for the frame bundle of a Riemannian manifold [I] to the case of a semi-Riemannian vector bundle over a semi- Riemannian manifold. In fact, if E is a semi-Riemannian vector bundle over a semi-Riemannian manifold M, then by using an arbitrary (linear) connection on E, we can make E, as a...

Recurrent 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 ...

A Study and Critique of Moral Liberalism Based on perspective "Existence of pure connection” Mulla Sadra

Moral liberalism is based on the separation of moral values from reality and emphasizes that the criterion of moral-value is the "person himself". In liberal ethics, one's happiness depends on himself and moral values have a relative meaning. According to Mulla Sadra, the process of creation in the arch of descent is based on manifestation and the effects are the pure connection to the cause an...

استفاده از بعد فراکتالی برای بررسی اثر مقیاس بر حساسیت سنجه‌های سیمای سرزمین

The sensitivity of landscape metrics to the scale effect is one of the most challenging issues in landscape ecology and quantification of land use spatial patterns. In this study, fractal dimension was employed to assess the effect of scale on the sensitivity of landscape metric in the north of Iran (around Sari) as the case study. Land use/ cover maps were derived from Landsat-8 (OLI sensor) i...
