The Global Geometry of Riemannian Manifolds with Commuting Curvature Operators

چکیده
We give manifolds whose Riemann curvature operators commute, i.e. which satisfy R(x1, x2)R(x3, x4) = R(x3, x4)R(x1, x2) for all tangent vectors xi in both the Riemannian and the higher signature settings. These manifolds have global geometric phenomena which are quite different for higher signature manifolds than they are for Riemannian manifolds. Our focus is on global properties; questions of geodesic completeness and the behaviour of the exponential map are investigated.

Commutative 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 کاملACTION 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 کاملOn the k-nullity foliations in Finsler geometry
Here, a Finsler manifold $(M,F)$ is considered with corresponding curvature tensor, regarded as $2$-forms on the bundle of non-zero tangent vectors. Certain subspaces of the tangent spaces of $M$ determined by the curvature are introduced and called $k$-nullity foliations of the curvature operator. It is shown that if the dimension of foliation is constant, then the distribution is involutive...
متن کاملA Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...
متن کاملPseudo-riemannian Manifolds with Commuting Jacobi Operators
We study the geometry of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are Jacobi–Tsankov, i.e. J (x)J (y) = J (y)J (x) for all x, y. We also study manifolds which are 2-step Jacobi nilpotent, i.e. J (x)J (y) = 0 for all x, y.
