چکیده
We study Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which carry the space of closed conformal vector fields of at least 2-dimension. Subject to the condition that at each point the set of closed conformal vector fields spans a non-degenerate subspace of the tangent space at the point, we prove a global and a local classification theorems for such manifolds.

On Concircular and Torse-forming Vector Fields on Compact Manifolds
In this paper we modify the theorem by E. Hopf and found results and conditions, on which concircular, convergent and torse-forming vector fields exist on (pseudo-) Riemannian spaces. These results are applied for conformal, geodesic and holomorphically projective mappings of special compact spaces without boundary.

متن کاملCommutative 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 کاملClosed conformal vector fields on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds
∇XV = λX for every vector field X. (1.2) Here ∇ denotes the Levi-Civita connection of g. We call vector fields satisfying (1.2) closed conformal vector fields. They appear in the work of Fialkow [3] about conformal geodesics, in the works of Yano [7–11] about concircular geometry in Riemannian manifolds, and in the works of Tashiro [6], Kerbrat [4], Kühnel and Rademacher [5], and many other aut...
متن کاملConcurrent vector fields on Finsler spaces
In this paper, we prove that a non-Riemannian isotropic Berwald metric or a non-Riemannian (α,β) -metric admits no concurrent vector fields. We also prove that an L-reducible Finsler metric admitting a concurrent vector field reduces to a Landsberg metric.In this paper, we prove that a non-Riemannian isotropic Berwald metric or a non-Riemannian (α,β) -metric admits no concurrent vector fi...
