In the study of conformai geometry, the method of elliptic partial differential equations is playing an increasingly significant role. Since the solution of the Yamabe problem, a family of conformally covariant operators (for definition, see section 2) generalizing the conformai Laplacian, and their associated conformai invariants have been introduced. The conformally covariant powers of the La...

One of the most interesting questions in Riemannian geometry is that of deciding whether a manifold admits curvatures of certain kinds. More specifically, one might want to know whether some given manifold admits a canonical metric, i.e. one with constant curvature of some form (sectional curvature, scalar curvature, etc.). (This will in fact have many topological implications.). One such probl...

In this paper, we consider Lorentz generalized Sasakian space forms admitting almost $\eta-$Ricci solitons in some curvature tensors. Ricci pseudosymmetry concepts of \ soliton have introduced according to the choice special tensors such as Riemann, concircular, projective, $\mathcal{M-}$projective, $W_{1}$ and $W_{2}.$ Then, again tensor, necessary conditions are given for form be semisymmetri...

Relying on properties of the inductive tensor product, we construct cyclic type homology theories for certain nuclear algebras. In this context, we establish continuity theorems. We compute the periodic cyclic homology of the Schwartz algebra of p-adic GL(n) in terms of compactly supported de Rham cohomology of the tempered dual of GL(n). 1. Complete nuclear locally convex algebras Cyclic type ...

Spectrum of kinematic fast dynamo operators in Ricci compressible flows in Einstein 2-manifolds is investigated. A similar expression, to the one obtained by Chicone, Latushkin and Montgomery-Smith (Comm Math Phys (1995)) is given, for the fast dynamo operator. The operator eigenvalue is obtained in a highly conducting media, in terms of linear and nonlinear orders of Ricci scalar. Eigenvalue s...

of the Dissertation Ricci-Flat Anti-Self-Dual Asymptotically Locally Euclidean 4-Manifolds by Evan Patrick Wright Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics Stony Brook University 2013 A classification result for Ricci-flat anti-self-dual asymptotically locally Euclidean 4-manifolds is obtained: they are either hyperkähler (one of the gravitational instantons classified by Kronheimer), or a cyclic quo...

It is shown that the Cotton tensor can describe effects of gravity beyond general relativity. Any solution Einstein equations with or without cosmological constant satisfies field described by tensor. implies an integration constant. A vacuum a theory represented vanishing tensor, rather than Ricci An exact Schwarzschild-like for static and spherically symmetric source discovered. Although invo...

Consider a compact Riemannian manifold (M, g) with metric g and dimension n ≥ 3. The Schouten tensor Ag associated with g is a symmetric (0, 2)-tensor field describing the non-conformally-invariant part of the curvature tensor of g. In this paper, we consider the elementary symmetric functions {σk(Ag), 1 ≤ k ≤ n} of the eigenvalues of Ag with respect to g; we call σk(Ag) the k-th Schouten curva...

We derive the general Σ2×S solution of topologically massive gravity in vacuum and in presence of a cosmological constant. The field equations reduce to three-dimensional Einstein equations and the solution has constant Ricci tensor. We briefly discuss the emergence of non-Ricci flat solutions when spin is introduced.
