We study recurrence properties of the second order skew-sym- metric tensor fields, which are referred to as bivectors, on a 4-dimensional manifold admitting a Lorentz metric. Considering the known classification scheme for these tensor fields, recurrent bivectors which can be scaled to be parallel are first determined and these results are associated with the holonomy theory. This examination then identifies proper recurrence of such bivectors on the manifold. The link between these bivectors and the holonomy group is investigated and some theorems are proved.

In this paper, we prove that if there exists a second order symmetric parallel tensor on an almost Kenmotsu manifold (M2n+1, ?, ?, ?, g) whose characteristic vector field ? belongs to the (k,?)'-nullity distribution, then either M2n+1 is locally isometric to the Riemannian product of an (n+1)-dimensional manifold of constant sectional curvature -4 and a flat n-dimensional manifold, or the second order parallel tensor is a constant multiple of the associated metric tensor of M2n+1. Furthermore, some properties of an almost Kenmotsu manifold admitting a second order parallel tensor with ? belonging to the (k,?)-nullity distribution are also obtained.

AbstractGauss' Theorema Egregium produces a partial differential equation which relates the Gaussian curvature K to components of the metric tensor and its derivatives. Well-known partial differential equations (PDEs) such as the Schrödinger equation and the sine-Gordon equation can be derived from Gauss' equation for specific choices of K and coördinate systems. In this paper we consider a class of Bäcklund Transformations which corresponds to coördinate transformations on surfaces with a given Gaussian curvature. These Bäcklund Transformations lead to the construction of solutions to certain classes of non-linear second order PDEs of hyperbolic type by identifying these PDEs as the Gauss equation in some coördinate system. The possibility of solving the Cauchy Problem has also been explored for these classes of equations.

The geometrical description of a Hilbert space associated with a quantum system considers a Hermitian tensor to describe the scalar inner product of vectors which are now described by vector fields. The real part of this tensor represents a flat Riemannian metric tensor while the imaginary part represents a symplectic two-form. The immersion of classical manifolds in the complex projective space associated with the Hilbert space allows to pull-back tensor fields related to previous ones, via the immersion map. This makes available, on these selected manifolds of states, methods of usual Riemannian and symplectic geometry. Here, we consider these pulled-back tensor fields when the immersed submanifold contains separable states or entangled states. Geometrical tensors are shown to encode some properties of these states. These results are not unrelated with criteria already available in the literature. We explicitly deal with some of these relations.

In this paper, we study some curvature problems of Ricci solitons in α-Kenmotsu manifold. It is shown that a symmetric parallel second order-covariant tensor in a α-Kenmotsu manifold is a constant multiple of the metric tensor. Using this result, it is shown that if (Lvg + 2S) is parallel where V is a given vector field, then the structure (g, V, λ) yield a Ricci soliton. Further, by virtue of this result, Ricci solitons for n-dimentional α-Kenmotsu manifolds are obtained. In the last section, we discuss Ricci soliton for 3-dimentional α-Kenmotsu manifolds.

We study Ricci solitons in α-Sasakian manifolds. It is shown that a symmetric parallel second order-covariant tensor in a α-Sasakian manifold is a constant multiple of the metric tensor. Using this, it is shown that if ℒVg+2S is parallel where V is a given vector field, then (g,V,λ) is Ricci soliton. Further, by virtue of this result, Ricci solitons for n-dimensional α-Sasakian manifolds are obtained. Next, Ricci solitons for 3-dimensional α-Sasakian manifolds are discussed with an example.

Definition Of

This chapter presents some elements of differential geometry, the ‘vector’ version of Euclidean geometry in curvilinear coordinates. In doing so, it provides an intrinsic definition of the covariant derivative and establishes a relation between the moving frames attached to a trajectory introduced in Chapter 2 and the moving frames of Cartan associated with curvilinear coordinates. It illustrates a differential framework based on formulas drawn from Chapter 2, before discussing cotangent spaces and differential forms. The chapter then turns to the metric tensor, triads, and frame fields as well as vector fields, form fields, and tensor fields. Finally, it performs some vector calculus.
