The Algebra of the Riemann Curvature Tensor in General Relativity: Preliminaries

In a four-dimensional curved space-time it is well-known that the Riemann curvature tensor has twenty independent components; ten of these components appear in the Weyl tensor, and nine of these components appear in the Einstein curvature tensor. It is also known that there are fourteen combinations of these components which are invariant under local Lorentz transformations. In this paper, we derive explicitly closed form expressions which contain these twenty independent components in a manifest way. We also write the fourteen invariants in two ways; firstly, we write them in terms of the components; and, secondly, we write them in a covariant fashion, and we further derive the appropriate characteristic value equations and the corresponding Cayley-Hamilton equations for these invariants. We also show explicitly how all of the relevant components transform under a Lorentz transformation. We shall follow the very general and powerful methods of Sachs [1]. We shall not point out at every stage of the calculation which equations are due to Sachs, and which equations are new; this is easily ascertained. Generally speaking, however, the equations depending on the Einstein curvature tensor, and the emphasis placed on this tensor, appear to be new.     

Hypersurfaces with Parallel Ricci Tensor in Spaces of Constant Curvature

Hypersurfaces with parallel Ricci tensor in spaces of constant curvature are classified. The main tool is a generalization of Moore’s decomposition theorem for isometric immersions.     

Compactness Theorems for Critical Riemannian 4-Manifolds with Integral Bounds on Curvature

In this article, we prove the compactness of the set of critical 4-manifolds with L ^p-bound on the negative part of the Ricci curvature tensor, p > 2. In earlier work we proved this under the assumption that the Ricci curvature is pointwise bounded from below.     

Prescribing Curvature Problems on the Bakry-Emery Ricci Tensor of a Compact Manifold with Boundary

t The authors consider the problem of conformally deforming a metric such that the k-curvature defined by an elementary symmetric function of the eigenvalues of the Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor on a compact manifold with boundary to a prescribed function. A consequence of our main result is that there exists a complete metric such that the Monge-Amp~re type equation with respect to its Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor is solvable, provided that the initial Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor belongs to a negative convex cone.     

Curvature estimates for the Ricci flow II

In this paper we present several curvature estimates and convergence results for solutions of the Ricci flow, including the volume normalized Ricci flow and the normalized Kähler-Ricci flow. The curvature estimates depend on smallness of certain local space-time integrals of the norm of the Riemann curvature tensor, while the convergence results require finiteness of space-time integrals of this norm. These results also serve as characterization of blow-up singularities.     

Invariants of Composite Networks Arising as a Tensor Product

We generalize Brylawski’s formula of the Tutte polynomial of a tensor product of matroids to colored connected graphs, matroids, and disconnected graphs. Unlike the non-colored tensor product where all edges have to be replaced by the same graph, our colored generalization of the tensor product operation allows individual edge replacement. The colored Tutte polynomials we compute exists by the results of Bollobás and Riordan. The proof depends on finding the correct generalization of the two components of the pointed Tutte polynomial, first studied by Brylawski and Oxley, and on careful enumeration of the connected components in a tensor product. Our results make the calculation of certain invariants of many composite networks easier, provided that the invariants are obtained from the colored Tutte polynomials via substitution and the composite networks are represented as tensor products of colored graphs. In particular, our method can be used to calculate (with relative ease) the expected number of connected components after an accident hits a composite network in which some major links are identical subnetworks in themselves.      

Nonparallelism of the Ricci Tensor of Pseudo-cylindric Metrics

We describe examples of metrics in the conformal class [g] on some conformally flat Riemannian manifolds (M,g]. These metrics have a constant scalar curvature and an harmonic curvature with nonparallel Ricci tensor.     

Invariants of piecewise-linear 3-manifolds

This paper presents an algebraic framework for constructing invariants of closed oriented 3-manifolds by taking a state sum model on a triangulation. This algebraic framework consists of a tensor category with a condition on the duals which we have called a spherical category. A significant feature is that the tensor category is not required to be braided. The main examples are constructed from the categories of representations of involutive Hopf algebras and of quantised enveloping algebras at a root of unity.

     

Curvature estimates for the Ricci flow I

In this paper we present several curvature estimates for solutions of the Ricci flow and the modified Ricci flow (including the volume normalized Ricci flow and the normalized Kähler-Ricci flow), which depend on the smallness of certain local \(L^{\frac{n}{2}}\) integrals of the norm of the Riemann curvature tensor |Rm|, where n denotes the dimension of themanifold. These local integrals are scaling invariant and very natural.     

Curvature tensors of singular spaces

A sequence of tensor-valued measures of certain singular spaces (e.g., subanalytic or convex sets) is constructed. The first three terms can be interpreted as scalar curvature, Einstein tensor and (modified) Riemann tensor. It is shown that these measures are independent of the ambient space, i.e., they are intrinsic. In contrast to this, there exists no intrinsic tensor-valued measure corresponding to the Ricci tensor.     

On Almost Hermitian 4-manifolds with J-invariant Ricci Tensor

We prove that every almost Hermitian 4-manifold with J-invariant Ricci tensor which is conformally flat or has harmonic curvature is either a space of constant curvature or a Kähler manifold. We also obtain analogous results on almost Kähler 4-manifolds.     

M-Eigenvalues of the Riemann Curvature Tensor of Conformally Flat Manifolds

We investigate the M-eigenvalues of the Riemann curvature tensor in the higher dimensional conformally flat manifold. The expressions of Meigenvalues and M-eigenvectors are presented in this paper. As a special case,M-eigenvalues of conformal flat Einstein manifold have also been discussed,and the conformal the invariance of M-eigentriple has been found. We also reveal the relationship between M-eigenvalue and sectional curvature of a Riemannian manifold. We prove that the M-eigenvalue can determine the Riemann curvature tensor uniquely. We also give an example to compute the Meigentriple of de Sitter spacetime which is well-known in general relativity.     

On the Curvature of Metric Contact Pairs

We consider manifolds endowed with metric contact pairs for which the two characteristic foliations are orthogonal. We give some properties of the curvature tensor and in particular a formula for the Ricci curvature in the direction of the sum of the two Reeb vector fields. This shows that metrics associated to normal contact pairs cannot be flat. Therefore flat non-Kähler Vaisman manifolds do not exist. Furthermore we give a local classification of metric contact pair manifolds whose curvature vanishes on the vertical subbundle. As a corollary we have that flat associated metrics can only exist if the leaves of the characteristic foliations are at most three-dimensional.     

Rigidity Theorems for Complete Sasakian Manifolds with Constant Pseudo-Hermitian Scalar Curvature

The orthogonal decomposition of the Webster curvature provides us a way to characterize some canonical metrics on a pseudo-Hermitian manifold. We derive some subelliptic differential inequalities from the Weitzenböck formulas for the traceless pseudo-Hermitian Ricci tensor of Sasakian manifolds with constant pseudo-Hermitian scalar curvature and the Chern–Moser tensor of the Sasakian pseudo-Einstein manifolds, respectively. By means of either subelliptic estimates or maximum principle, some rigidity theorems are established to characterize Sasakian pseudo-Einstein manifolds among Sasakian manifolds with constant pseudo-Hermitian scalar curvature and Sasakian space forms among Sasakian pseudo-Einstein manifolds, respectively.     

Curvature in Special Base Conformal Warped Products

We introduce the concept of a base conformal warped product of two pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. We also define a subclass of this structure called as a special base conformal warped product. After, we explicitly mention many of the relevant fields where metrics of these forms and also considerations about their curvature related properties play important rolls. Among others, we cite general relativity, extra-dimension, string and super-gravity theories as physical subjects and also the study of the spectrum of Laplace-Beltrami operators on p-forms in global analysis. Then, we give expressions for the Ricci tensor and scalar curvature of a base conformal warped product in terms of Ricci tensors and scalar curvatures of its base and fiber, respectively. Furthermore, we introduce specific identities verified by particular families of, either scalar or tensorial, nonlinear differential operators on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. The latter allow us to obtain new interesting expressions for the Ricci tensor and scalar curvature of a special base conformal warped product and it turns out that not only the expressions but also the analytical approach used are interesting from the physical, geometrical and analytical point of view. Finally, we analyze, investigate and characterize possible solutions for the conformal and warping factors of a special base conformal warped product, which guarantee that the corresponding product is Einstein. Besides all, we apply these results to a generalization of the Schwarzschild metric.      

Computing Asymptotic Invariants with the Ricci Tensor on Asymptotically Flat and Asymptotically Hyperbolic Manifolds

We prove in a simple and coordinate-free way the equivalence between the classical definitions of the mass or of the center of mass of an asymptotically flat manifold and their alternative definitions depending on the Ricci tensor and conformal Killing fields. This enables us to prove an analogous statement in the asymptotically hyperbolic case.

Certain Curvature Conditions on P-Sasakian Manifolds Admitting a Quater-Symmetric Metric Connection

The authors consider a quarter-symmetric metric connection in a P-Sasakian manifold and study the second order parallel tensor in a P-Sasakian manifold with respect to the quarter-symmetric metric connection. Then Ricci semisymmetric P-Sasakian manifold with respect to the quarter-symmetric metric connection is considered. Next the authors study ξ-concircularly flat P-Sasakian manifolds and concircularly semisymmetric P-Sasakian manifolds with respect to the quarter-symmetric metric connection. Furthermore, the authors study P-Sasakian manifolds satisfying the condition ■(ξ,Y)·■,where ■,■ are the concircular curvature tensor and Ricci tensor respectively with respect to the quarter-symmetric metric connection. Finally, an example of a 5-dimensional P-Sasakian manifold admitting quarter-symmetric metric connection is constructed.
