Abstract:

When Einstein was thinking about the theory of general relativity based on the elimination of especial relativity constraints (especially the geometric relationship of space and time), he understood the first limitation of especial relativity is ignoring changes over time. Because in especial relativity, only the curvature of the space was considered. Therefore, tensor calculations should be to explain it. For this purpose, he obtained a combination of Ricci tensor and Ricci scalar through Bianchi identity, which its covariant derivative is zero and is known as Einstein tensor. The main purpose of this paper is to classify Einstein left-invariant metrics of signature (2,2) on four-dimensional Lie groups. Recently, four-dimensional Lie groups equipped with left-invariant metric of neutral signature has been investigated extensively and a complete list of them has been presented. Now we study Einstein structures on these Lie groups. Then some geometric properties of these spaces, such as Ricci-flatness will be considered.

Hypercomplex Structures on Four-dimensional Lie Groups

The purpose of this paper is to classify invariant hypercomplex structures on a 4-dimensional real Lie group G. It is shown that the 4dimensional simply connected Lie groups which admit invariant hypercomplex structures are the additive group H of the quaternions, the multiplicative group H∗ of nonzero quaternions, the solvable Lie groups acting simply transitively on the real and complex hyper...

Hermitian Structures on Cotangent Bundles of Four Dimensional Solvable Lie Groups

We study hermitian structures, with respect to the standard neutral metric on the cotangent bundle T ∗G of a 2n-dimensional Lie group G, which are left invariant with respect to the Lie group structure on T ∗G induced by the coadjoint action. These are in one-to-one correspondence with left invariant generalized complex structures on G. Using this correspondence and results of [8] and [10], it ...

Nearly Integrable So(3) Structures on 5-dimensional Lie Groups

Recent work [5] on 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with an SO(3) structure prompts us to investigate which Lie groups admit such a geometry. The case in which the SO(3) structure admits a compatible connection with torsion is considered. This leads to a classification under special behaviour of the connection, which enables to recover all known examples, plus others bearing torsion of pure t...

Four - Dimensional Lie Algebras

The main goal is to classify 4-dimensional real Lie algebras gwhich admit a para-hypercomplex structure. This is a step toward the classification of Lie groups admitting the corresponding left-invariant structure and therefore possessing a neutral, left-invariant, anti-self-dual metric. Our study is related to the work of Barberis who classified real, 4-dimensional simply-connected Lie groups w...

Multiplicative Dirac structures on Lie groups

We study multiplicative Dirac structures on Lie groups. We show that the characteristic foliation of a multiplicative Dirac structure is given by the cosets of a normal Lie subgroup and, whenever this subgroup is closed, the leaf space inherits the structure of a Poisson-Lie group. We also describe multiplicative Dirac structures on Lie groups infinitesimally. Résumé Nous étudions les structure...

Infinite Dimensional Lie Groups

Regular Lie groups are infinite dimensional Lie groups with the property that smooth curves in the Lie algebra integrate to smooth curves in the group in a smooth way (an ‘evolution operator’ exists). Up to now all known smooth Lie groups are regular. We show in this paper that regular Lie groups allow to push surprisingly far the geometry of principal bundles: parallel transport exists and fla...
