Generalized φ(Ric)-vector fields in special pseudo-Riemannian spaces

The paper treats pseudo-Riemannian spaces permitting generalized φ(Ric)-vector fields. We study conditions for the existence of such vector fields in conformally flat, equidistant, reducible and Kählerian pseudo-Riemannian spaces. The obtained results can be applied for the construction of generalized φ(Ric)-vector fields that differ from φ(Ric)-vector fields. The research is carried out locally without limitations imposed on a sign of metric tensor.

On the geodesic mappings of pseudo-Riemannian spaces with special supplementary tensor

В роботі досліджуються два псевдоріманових простори, які мають спільні геодезичні лінії. Вимагається виконання умов алгебраїчного та диференціального характеру на тензор Рімана одного з них. А операція опускання індексів та обчислення коваріантної похідної здійснюється відносно метрики та об'єктів зв'язності іншого простору. Для досліджень використовується спеціальний допоміжний тензор. Доведено, що виконання додаткових умов приводить до просторів, що не допускають нетривіальних геодезичних відображень, або простори належать до еквідістантних просторів. Використовуються тензорні методи без обмежень на знак метрики.

WEYL SPACES OF COMPOSITIONS OF SIX BASIC MANIFOLDS

By help of prolonged covariant differentiation, Cartesian compositions of six basic manifolds are studied. Weyl spaces of such compositions are characterized. Eleven-dimensional Riemannian spaces containing compositions of six basic manifolds are also considered.

PSEUDO-RIEMANNIAN SPACES WITH A SPECIAL RIEMANN TENSOR

The paper considers pseudo-Riemannian spaces, the Riemann tensor of which has a special structure. The structure of the Riemann tensor is given as a combination of special symmetric and obliquely symmetric tensors. Tensors are selected so that the results can be applied in the theory of geodetic mappings, the theory of holomorphic-projective mappings of Kähler spaces, as well as other problems arising in differential geometry and its application in general relativity, mechanics and other fields. Through the internal objects of pseudo-Riemannian space, others are determined, which are studied depending on what problems are solved in the study of pseudo-Riemannian spaces. By imposing algebraic or differential constraints on internal objects, we obtain special spaces. In particular, if constraints are imposed on the metric we will have equidistant spaces. If on the Ricci tensor, we obtain spaces that allow φ (Ric)-vector fields, and if on the Einstein tensor, we have almost Einstein spaces. The paper studies pseudo-Riemannian spaces with a special structure of the curvature tensor, which were introduced into consideration in I. Mulin paper. Note that in his work these spaces were studied only with the requirement of positive definiteness of the metric. The proposed approach to the specialization of pseudo-Riemannian spaces is interesting by combining algebraic requirements for the Riemann tensor with differential requirements for its components. In this paper, the research is conducted in tensor form, without restrictions on the sign of the metric. Depending on the structure of the Riemann tensor, there are three special types of pseudo-Riemannian spaces. The properties which, if necessary, satisfy the Richie tensors of pseudoriman space and the tensors which determine the structure of the curvature tensor are studied. In all cases, it is proved that special tensors satisfy the commutation conditions together with the Ricci tensor. The importance and usefulness of such conditions for the study of pseudo-Riemannian spaces is widely known. Obviously, the results can be extended to Einstein tensors. Proven theorems allow us to effectively investigate spaces with constraints on the Ricci tensor.

Special semi-reducible pseudo-Riemannian spaces

The paper contains necessary conditions allowing to reduce matrix tensors of pseudo-Riemannian spaces to special forms called semi-reducible, under assumption that the tensor defining tensor characteristic of semireducibility spaces, is idempotent. The tensor characteristic is reduced to the spaces of constant curvature, Ricci-symmetric spaces and conformally flat pseudo-Riemannian spaces. The obtained results can be applied for construction of examples of spaces belonging to special types of pseudo-Riemannian spaces. The research is carried out locally in tensor shape, without limitations imposed on a sign of a metric.
