چکیده
We classify the connected pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature (p, q) with q ≥ 5 so that at each point of M the skew-symmetric curvature operator has constant rank 2 and constant Jordan normal form on the set of spacelike 2 planes and so that the skew-symmetric curvature operator is not nilpotent for at least one point of M .

Algebraic curvature tensors whose skew-symmetric curvature operator has constant rank 2
Let R be an algebraic curvature tensor for a non-degenerate inner product of signature (p, q) where q ≥ 5. If π is a spacelike 2 plane, let R(π) be the associated skewsymmetric curvature operator. We classify the algebraic curvature tensors so R(·) has constant rank 2 and show these are geometrically realizable by hypersurfaces in flat spaces. We also classify the Ivanov-Petrova algebraic curva...
متن کاملThe Spectral Geometry of the Riemann Curvature Tensor
Let E be a natural operator associated to the curvature tensor of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold. We study when the spectrum, or more generally the real Jordan normal form, of E is constant on the natural domain of definition. In particular, we examine the Jacobi operator, the higher order Jacobi operator, the Szabo operator, and the skew-symmetric curvature operator.
متن کاملSzabó Osserman Ip Pseudo-riemannian Manifolds
We construct a family of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds so that the skew-symmetric curvature operator, the Jacobi operator, and the Szabó operator have constant eigenvalues on their domains of definition. This provides new and non-trivial examples of Osserman, Szabó, and IP manifolds. We also study when the associated Jordan normal form of these operators is constant. Subject Classification: 53B20.
متن کاملCurvature Homogeneous Spacelike Jordan Osserman Pseudo-riemannian Manifolds
Let s ≥ 2. We construct Ricci flat pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature (2s, s) which are not locally homogeneous but whose curvature tensors never the less exhibit a number of important symmetry properties. They are curvature homogeneous; their curvature tensor is modeled on that of a local symmetric space. They are spacelike Jordan Osserman with a Jacobi operator which is nilpotent of ord...
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.
