Complex Osserman Algebraic Curvature Tensors and Clifford Families
نویسنده
چکیده
We use methods of algebraic topology to study the eigenvalue structure of a complex Osserman algebraic curvature tensor. We classify the algebraic curvature tensors which are both Osserman and complex Osserman in all but a finite number of exceptional dimensions.

Determination of the structure of algebraic curvature tensors by means of Young symmetrizers
For a positive definite fundamental tensor all known examples of Osserman algebraic curvature tensors have a typical structure. They can be produced from a metric tensor and a finite set of skew-symmetric matrices which fulfil Clifford commutation relations. We show by means of Young symmetrizers and a theorem of S. A. Fulling, R. C. King, B. G. Wybourne and C. J. Cummins that every algebraic c...
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 کاملFour-dimensional Osserman Metrics of Neutral Signature
In the algebraic context, we show that null Osserman, spacelike Osserman, and timelike Osserman are equivalent conditions for a model of signature (2,2). We also classify the null Jordan Osserman models of signature (2,2). In the geometric context, we show that a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of signature (2,2) is null Jordan Osserman if and only if either it has constant sectional curvature or it...
متن کاملAlgebraic 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 کاملPseudo-riemannian Jacobi–videv Manifolds
We exhibit several families of Jacobi–Videv pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are not Einstein. We also exhibit Jacobi–Videv algebraic curvature tensors where the Ricci operator defines an almost complex structure.
