چکیده
A method, due tó Elie Cartan, is used to give an algebraic classification of the non-reductive homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of dimension four. Only one case with Lorentz signature can be Einstein without having constant curvature, and two cases with (2,2) signature are Einstein of which one is Ricci-flat. If a four-dimensional non-reductive homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifold is simply connected, then it is shown to be diffeomorphic to IR 4. All metrics for the simply connected non-reductive Einstein spaces are given explicitly. There are no non-reductive pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous spaces of dimension two and none of dimension three with connected isotropy subgroup.

متن کاملACTION OF SEMISIMPLE ISOMERY GROUPS ON SOME RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS OF NONPOSITIVE CURVATURE
A manifold with a smooth action of a Lie group G is called G-manifold. In this paper we consider a complete Riemannian manifold M with the action of a closed and connected Lie subgroup G of the isometries. The dimension of the orbit space is called the cohomogeneity of the action. Manifolds having actions of cohomogeneity zero are called homogeneous. A classic theorem about Riemannian manifolds...

We exhibit 3 families of complete curvature homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are modeled on irreducible symmetric spaces and which are not locally homogeneous. All of the manifolds have nilpotent Jacobi operators; some of the manifolds are, in addition, Jordan Osserman and Jordan Ivanov-Petrova.

It turns out that if a reductive complement m of a homogeneous reductive space G/H possesses a number of properties (including its decomposability into an orthogonal sum of three Ad(H)-invariant irreducible subspaces) then there exists a simple way of determining whether an f -structure F on this space belongs to the classes G1f , NKf and Kill f of generalized Hermitian geometry with respect to...

In this paper we provide a non-commutative version of the fundamental class [dM ] = [(L 2(M,Λ∗(T ∗M)), d+ d∗, ε)] of a smooth closed Riemannian manifold M . The formulation involves elements of A. Connes’ non-commutative geometry, G. Kasparov’s KK-theory and the standard theory of von Neumann algebras. Using axioms based on [C1], it is proved we can recover the ordinary differential geometry of...
