Levi Civita Connection

A Kenmotsu manifold with a given N-connection is considered. From the integrability of the distribution of a Kenmotsu manifold it follows that the N-connection belongs to the class of the quarter-symmetric connections. Among the N-connections, the class of connections adapted to the structure of the Kenmotsu manifold is specified. In particular, it is proved that an N-connection preserves the structure endomorphism φ of the Kenmotsu manifold if and only if the endomorphisms N and φ commute. A formula expressing the N-connection in terms of the Levi-Civita connection is obtained. The Chrystoffel symbols of the Levi-Civita connection and of the N-connection of the Kenmotsu manifold with respect to the adapted coordinates are computed. The properties of the invariants of the interior geometry of the Kenmotsu manifolds are investigated. The invariants of the interior geometry are the following: the Schouten curvature tensor; the 1-form  defining the distribution D; the Lie derivative 0   L g of the metric tensor g along the vector field ;  the tensor field P with the components given with respect to the adapted coordinate system by the formula Pacd  ncad . The field P is called in the work the Schouten — Wagner tensor. It is proved that the Schouten — Wagner tensor of the interior connection of the Kenmotsu manifold is zero. The conditions that satisfies the endomorphism N defining the metric N-connection are found. At the end of the work, an example of a Kenmotsu manifold with a metric N-connection preserving the structure endomorphism φ is given.

Papers of many mathematicians are devoted to the study of semisymmetric connections or metric connections with vector torsion on Riemannian manifolds. This type of connectivity is one of the three main types discovered by E. Cartan and finds its application in modern physics, geometry, and topology of manifolds. Geodesic lines and the curvature tensor of a given connection were studied by I. Agricola, K. Yano, and other mathematicians. In particular, K. Yano proved an important theorem on the connection of conformal deformations and metric connections with vector torsion. Namely: a Riemannian manifold admits a metric connection with vector torsion and the curvature tensor being equal to zero if and only if it is conformally flat. Although the curvature tensor of a hemisymmetric connection has a smaller number of symmetries compared to the Levi-Civita connection, it is still possible to define the concept of sectional curvature in this case. The question naturally arises about the difference between the sectional curvature of a semisymmetric connection and the sectional curvature of a Levi-Civita connection.This paper is devoted to the study of this issue, and the authors find the necessary and sufficient conditions for the sectional curvature of the semisymmetric connection to coincide with the sectional curvature of the Levi-Civita connection. Non-trivial examples of hemisymmetric connections are constructed when possible.

The aim of this paper is to study the notion of a quarter-symmetric metric connection on an almost contact B-metric manifold (M,?,?,?,g). We obtain the relation between the Levi-Civita connection and the quarter-symmetric metric connection on (M,?,?,?,g).We investigate the curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and scalar curvature tensor with respect to the quarter-symmetric metric connection. In case the manifold (M,?,?,?,g) is a Sasaki-like almost contact B-metric manifold, we get some formulas. Finally, we give some examples of a quarter-symmetric metric connection.

AbstractWe study the behavior of connections and curvature under the HK/QK correspondence, proving simple formulae expressing the Levi-Civita connection and Riemann curvature tensor on the quaternionic Kähler side in terms of the initial hyper-Kähler data. Our curvature formula refines a well-known decomposition theorem due to Alekseevsky. As an application, we compute the norm of the curvature tensor for a series of complete quaternionic Kähler manifolds arising from flat hyper-Kähler manifolds. We use this to deduce that these manifolds are of cohomogeneity one.

A natural connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion on almost contact manifolds with B-metric is constructed. The class of these manifolds, where the considered connection exists, is determined. Some curvature properties for this connection, when the corresponding curvature tensor has the properties of the curvature tensor for the Levi-Civita connection and the torsion tensor is parallel, are obtained.

This chapter is about Riemannian manifolds. It first discusses the metric manifold and the Levi-Civita connection, determining if the metric is Riemannian or Lorentzian. Next, the chapter turns to the properties of the curvature tensor. It states without proof the intrinsic versions of the properties of the Riemann–Christoffel tensor of a covariant derivative already given in Chapter 2. This chapter then performs the same derivation as in Chapter 4 by obtaining the Einstein equations of general relativity by varying the Hilbert action. However, this will be done in the intrinsic manner, using the tools developed in the present and the preceding chapters.
