In the present paper we studied the properties of them−projective curvature tensor in LP-Sasakian, Einstein LP-Sasakian and η−Einstein LPSasakian manifolds.

We investigate solutions of the classical Einstein or supergravity equations that solve any set of quantum corrected Einstein equations in which the Einstein tensor plus a multiple of the metric is equated to a symmetric conserved tensor Tμν(gαβ, ∂τgαβ, ∂τ∂σgαβ , . . . , ) constructed from sums of terms the involving contractions of the metric and powers of arbitrary covariant derivatives of th...

We propose an Einstein-æther scalar–tensor cosmological model. In particular, in the Action Integral, we introduce æther field with coefficients to be functions of scalar field. This model extends previous studies on Lorentz-violating theories. For a spatially flat Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker background space, write equations which are second order dynamical variables scale factor and T...

It was shown by Hiscock that the energy-momentum tensor commonly used to model local cosmic strings in linearized Einstein gravity can be extended and used in the full theory, obtaining a metric in the exterior of the source with the same deficit angle. Here we show that this tensor is an exception within a family for which a static solution does not exist in full Einstein nor in Brans-Dicke gr...

We describe and construct here pseudo-Hermitian structures θ without torsion (i.e. with transversal symmetry) whose Webster-Ricci curvature tensor is a constant multiple of the exterior differential dθ. We call these structures pseudo-Hermitian Einstein and our result states that they all can be derived locally from Kähler-Einstein metrics. Moreover, we discuss the corresponding Fefferman metri...

In a previous paper we showed that the electromagnetic superenergy tensor, the Chevreton tensor, gives rise to a conserved current when there is a hypersurface orthogonal Killing vector present. In addition, the current is proportional to the Killing vector. The aim of this paper is to extend this result to the case when we have a two-parameter Abelian isometry group that acts orthogonally tran...

We prove new lower bounds for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on compact manifolds whose Weyl tensor or curvature tensor, respectively, is divergence free. In the special case of Einstein manifolds, we obtain estimates depending on the Weyl tensor.

Abstract It is shown that the well-known triviality of the Einstein field equations in two dimensions is not a sufficient condition for the Einstein-Hilbert action to be a total divergence, if the general covariance is to be preserved, that is, a coordinate system is not fixed. Consequently, a Hamiltonian formulation is possible without any modification of the two dimensional Einstein-Hilbert a...
