We study the effect of a nontrivial conformal vector field on the geometry of compact Riemannian spaces. We find two new characterizations of the m-dimensional sphere Sm(c) of constant curvature c. The first characterization uses the well known de-Rham Laplace operator, while the second uses a nontrivial solution of the famous Fischer–Marsden differential equation.

We give here a geometric proof of the existence of certain local coordinates on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold admitting a closed conformal vector field.

In [1] S. Kobayashi showed that the connected components of the set of zeros of a Killing vector field on a Riemannian manifold (Mn,g) are totally geodesic submanifolds of (Mn,g) of even codimension including the case of isolated singular points. The purpose of this short note is to give a simple proof of the corresponding result for conformal vector fields on compact Riemannian manifolds. In particular we prove the following

UDC 514.7 Let ( M , g ) be a Riemannian manifold and T M be its tangent bundle equipped with a Riemannian (or pseudo-Riemannian) lift metric derived from g .  We give a classification of infinitesimal fibre-preserving conformal transformations on the tangent bundle.

In this paper, we consider a manifold with a dynamical vector field and enquire about the possible tangent bundle structures which would turn the starting vector field into a second-order one. The analysis is restricted to manifolds which are diffeomorphic with affine spaces. In particular, we consider the problem in connection with conformal vector fields of second-order and apply the procedure to vector fields conformally related with the harmonic oscillator ([Formula: see text]-oscillators). We select one which covers the vector field describing the Kepler problem.

We study proper teleparallel conformal vector fields in spherically symmetric static spacetimes. The main objective of this paper is to present the classification for the above-mentioned spacetimes. The problem has been examined by two methods: direct integration technique and diagonal tetrads. We show that the spherically symmetric static spacetimes do not admit proper teleparallel conformal vector field, so are actually the teleparallel killing vector fields.

Abstract In this paper, we characterize almost co-Kähler manifolds with a conformal vector field. It is proven that if an almost co-Kähler manifold has a conformal vector field that is collinear with the Reeb vector field, then the manifold is a K-almost co-Kähler manifold. It is also shown that if a (κ, μ)-almost co-Kähler manifold admits a Killing vector field V, then either the manifold is K-almost co-Kähler or the vector field V is an infinitesimal strict contact transformation, provided that the (1,1) tensor h remains invariant under the Killing vector field.
