λ-Projectively Related Finsler Metrics and Finslerian Projective Invariants
In this paper, by using the concept of spherically symmetric metric, we defne the notion of λ-projectively related metrics as an extension of projectively related metrics. We construct some non-trivial examples of λ-projectively related metrics. Let F and G be two λ-projectively related metrics on a manifold M. We find the relation between the geodesics of F and G and prove that any geodesic of...
متن کاملSergio Console and Carlos Olmos
A direct, bundle-theoretic method for defining and extending local isometries out of curvature data is developed. As a by-product, conceptual direct proofs of a classical result of Singer and a recent result of the authors are derived. A classical result of I. M. Singer [7] states that a Riemannian manifold is locally homogeneous if and only if its Riemannian curvature tensor together with its ...
متن کاملConsistency conditions and trace anomalies in six dimensions
Conformally invariant quantum field theories develop trace anomalies when defined on curved backgrounds. We study again the problem of identifying all possible trace anomalies in d = 6 by studying the consistency conditions to derive their 10 independent solutions. It is known that only 4 of these solutions represent true anomalies, classified as one type A anomaly, given by the topological Eul...
متن کاملComplete k-Curvature Homogeneous Pseudo-Riemannian Manifolds
For k 2, we exhibit complete k-curvature homogeneous neutral signature pseudoRiemannian manifolds which are not locally affine homogeneous (and hence not locally homogeneous). All the local scalar Weyl invariants of these manifolds vanish. These manifolds are Ricci flat, Osserman, and Ivanov–Petrova. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 53B20.
متن کاملThe Weyl tensor in Spatially Homogeneous Cosmological Models
We study the evolution of the Weyl curvature invariant in all spatially homogeneous universe models containing a non-tilted γ-law perfect fluid. We investigate all the Bianchi and Thurston type universe models and calculate the asymptotic evolution of Weyl curvature invariant for generic solutions to the Einstein field equations. The influence of compact topology on Bianchi types with hyperboli...
