The classification problem for pseudo-Rie- mannian symmetric spaces
Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces with semisimple transvection group are known and classified for a long time. Contrary to that the description of pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces with non-semisimple transvection group is an open problem. In the last years some progress on this problem was achieved. In this article we want to explain these results and some of their applications.
متن کاملConformal mappings preserving the Einstein tensor of Weyl manifolds
In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a conformal mapping between two Weyl manifolds to preserve Einstein tensor. Then we prove that some basic curvature tensors of $W_n$ are preserved by such a conformal mapping if and only if the covector field of the mapping is locally a gradient. Also, we obtained the relation between the scalar curvatures of the Weyl manifolds r...
متن کاملSe p 20 00 PERTURBATION OF DOMAIN : SINGULAR RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS
We develop further some aspects of the spectral theory of a class of Rie-mannian manifolds introduced by E. B. Davies; in particular we study the best constant in the Hardy Inequality which has become important in spectral theory. One application of this constant has been to a certain type of domain perturbation. This technique is useful when the domain has an irregular boundary and this is the...
متن کامل3 Aleksandrov Surfaces and Hyperbolicity
Aleksandrov surfaces are a generalization of two-dimensional Rie-mannian manifolds, and it is known that every open simply connected Alek-sandrov surface is conformally equivalent either to the unit disc (hyperbolic case) or to the plane (parabolic case). We prove a criterion for hyperbolicity of Aleksandrov surfaces which have nice tilings and where negative curvature dominates. We then apply ...
متن کاملOn Infinitesimal Conformal Transformations of the Tangent Bundles with the Generalized Metric
Let be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, and be its tangent bundle with the lift metric. Then every infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformation induces an infinitesimal homothetic transformation on . Furthermore, the correspondence gives a homomorphism of the Lie algebra of infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformations on onto the Lie algebra of infinitesimal ...
