The co-Riemannian Structure of Smooth Loop Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct a natural co-Riemannian structure on the manifold of smooth loops in a Riemannian manifold. We show that the smooth loop space of a stringmanifold is a per-Hilbert–Schmidt locally equivalent co-spin manifold and thus admits a Dirac operator.

On a class of paracontact Riemannian manifold
We classify the paracontact Riemannian manifolds that their Riemannian curvature satisfies in the certain condition and we show that this classification is hold for the special cases semi-symmetric and locally symmetric spaces. Finally we study paracontact Riemannian manifolds satisfying R(X, ξ).S = 0, where S is the Ricci tensor.
متن کاملOn quasi-Einstein Finsler spaces
The notion of quasi-Einstein metric in physics is equivalent to the notion of Ricci soliton in Riemannian spaces. Quasi-Einstein metrics serve also as solution to the Ricci flow equation. Here, the Riemannian metric is replaced by a Hessian matrix derived from a Finsler structure and a quasi-Einstein Finsler metric is defined. In compact case, it is proved that the quasi-Einstein met...
متن کاملHow to Construct a Dirac Operator in Infinite Dimensions
We define the notion of a co-Riemannian structure and show how it can be used to define the Dirac operator on an appropriate infinite dimensional manifold. In particular, this approach works for the smooth loop space of a so-called stringmanifold.
متن کاملGeneralized Symmetric Berwald Spaces
In this paper we study generalized symmetric Berwald spaces. We show that if a Berwald space $(M,F)$ admits a parallel $s-$structure then it is locally symmetric. For a complete Berwald space which admits a parallel s-structure we show that if the flag curvature of $(M,F)$ is everywhere nonzero, then $F$ is Riemannian.
متن کاملGeometric Structures on Loop and Path Spaces
Is is known that the loop space associated to a Riemannian manifold admits a quasi-symplectic structure. This article shows that this structure is not likely to recover the underlying Riemannian metric by proving a result that is a strong indication of the “almost” independence of the quasi-symplectic structure with respect to the metric. Finally conditions to have contact structures on these s...
