Geometric Theory of Equiaffine Curvature Tensors

چکیده
From [4] we continue the algebraic investigation of generalized and equiaffine curvature tensors in a given pseudo-Euclidean vector space and study different orthogonal, irreducible decompositions in analogy to the known decomposition of algebraic curvature tensors. We apply the decomposition results to characterize geometric properties of Codazzi structures and relative hypersurfaces; particular emphasis is on projectively flat structures.

Operator-valued tensors on manifolds
In this paper we try to extend geometric concepts in the context of operator valued tensors. To this end, we aim to replace the field of scalars $ mathbb{R} $ by self-adjoint elements of a commutative $ C^star $-algebra, and reach an appropriate generalization of geometrical concepts on manifolds. First, we put forward the concept of operator-valued tensors and extend semi-Riemannian...
متن کاملCurvature collineations on Lie algebroid structure
Considering prolongation of a Lie algebroid equipped with a spray, defining some classical tensors, we show that a Lie symmetry of a spray is a curvature collineation for these tensors.
متن کاملImage Structure of Scene Dynamics
The dynamics of a spatio-temporal scene is described by diierential and integral geometric invariants of the image structure of that scene at various resolutions. This image structure is represented by continuous, semi-discrete or discrete similarity jet-spaces of spatio-temporally bounded input images. These jet-spaces are found by extending classical scale space theory for spatio-temporally b...
متن کاملDefinition and Stability of Lorentzian Manifolds with Distributional Curvature
A. FollowingGeroch, Traschen,Mars andSenovilla,we considerLorentzian manifolds with distributional curvature tensor. Such manifolds represent spacetimes of general relativity that possibly contain gravitational waves, shock waves, and other singular patterns. We aim here at providing a comprehensive and geometric (i.e., coordinate-free) framework. First, we determine the minimal assumpti...
متن کاملA note on curvature of α-connections of a statistical manifold
The family of α-connections ∇(α) on a statistical manifold M equipped with a pair of conjugate connections ∇ ≡ ∇(1) and ∇∗ ≡ ∇(−1) is given as ∇(α) = 1+α 2 ∇ + 1−α 2 ∇∗. Here, we develop an expression of curvature R for ∇(α) in relation to those for ∇,∇∗. Immediately evident from it is that ∇(α) is equiaffine for any α ∈ R when ∇,∇∗ are dually flat, as previously observed in Takeuchi and Amari ...
