Exotic smooth manifolds, R ×Θ S , are constructed and discussed as possible space-time models supporting the usual Kruskal presentation of the vacuum Schwarzschild metric locally, but not globally. While having the same topology as the standard Kruskal model, none of these manifolds is diffeomorphic to standard Kruskal, although under certain conditions some global smooth Lorentz-signature metr...

We find a new class of (2,0)-supersymmetric two-dimensional sigma models with torsion and target spaces almost complex manifolds extending similar results for models with (2,2) supersymmetry. These models are invariant under a new symmetry which is generated by a Noether charge of Lorentz weight one and it is associated to the Nijenhuis tensor of the almost complex structure of the sigma model ...

we classify the paracontact riemannian manifolds that their rieman-nian curvature satisfies in the certain condition and we show that thisclassification is hold for the special cases semi-symmetric and locally sym-metric spaces. finally we study paracontact riemannian manifolds satis-fying r(x, ξ).s = 0, where s is the ricci tensor.

The study of magnetic curves, seen as solutions Lorentz equation, has been done mainly in 3-dimensional case, motivated by theoretical physics. Then it was extended higher dimensions, for instance K?hlerian or Sasakian frame. This paper deals the first time literature with Frenet curves dimensional paracontact context. Several classifications are provided here different types on para-Sasakian m...

commutative properties of four-dimensional generalized symmetric pseudo-riemannian manifolds were considered. specially, in this paper, we studied skew-tsankov and jacobi-tsankov conditions in 4-dimensional pseudo-riemannian generalized symmetric manifolds.

Warped products provide a rich class of physically significant geometric objects. Warped product construction is an important method to produce a new metric with a base manifold and a fibre. We construct compact base manifolds with a positive scalar curvature which do not admit any non-trivial quasi-Einstein warped product, and non compact complete base manifolds which do not admit any non-triv...

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...
