Generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds with harmonic Weyl tensor

In this paper we introduce the notion of generalized quasi-Einstein manifold that generalizes the concepts of Ricci soliton, Ricci almost soliton and quasi-Einstein manifolds. We prove that a complete generalized quasi-Einstein manifold with harmonic Weyl tensor and with zero radial Weyl curvature is locally a warped product with (n ? 1)-dimensional Einstein fibers. In particular, this implies a local characterization for locally conformally flat gradient Ricci almost solitons, similar to that proved for gradient Ricci solitons.     

Generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds with harmonic anti-self dual Weyl tensor

We prove that a 4-dimensional generalized m-quasi-Einstein manifold with harmonic anti-self dual Weyl tensor is locally a warped product with 3-dimensional Einstein fibers provided an additional condition holds.     

The cohomology groups of a special Einstein manifold

Summary We consider a compact orientable Einstein manifold of even dimension n=2m, which is k-pinched. If k>[m(m−1) ₂ (2m−1) ₂ (2m−1)+3], then there exists no element, different from zero of the H ₂ (M,R) such that its exterior m-power belongs to a zero class. This result has some applications to the topological product of manifold. Entrata in Redazione il 27 settembre 1977.     

A generalization of a 4-dimensional Einstein manifold

A weakly Einstein manifold is a natural generalization of a 4-dimensional Einstein manifold. In this paper, we shall give a characterization of a weakly Einstein manifold in terms of so-called generalized Singer-Thorpe bases. As an application, we prove a generalization of the Hitchin inequality for compact weakly Einstein 4-manifolds. Examples are provided to illustrate the theorems.     

The PRV-formula for tensor product decompositions and its applications

Let G be a semisimple algebraic group, V a simple finite-dimensional self-dual G-module, and W an arbitrary simple finite-dimensional G-module. Using the triple multiplicity formula due to Parthasarathy, Ranga Rao, and Varadarajan, we describe the multiplicities of W in the symmetric and exterior squares of V in terms of the action of a maximum-length element of the Weyl group on some subspace in V ^T , where T ? G is a maximal torus. By way of application, we consider the cases in which V is the adjoint, little adjoint, or, more generally, a small G-module. We also obtain a general upper bound for triple multiplicities in terms of Kostant’s partition function.     

Generalized gluing for Einstein constraint equations

In this paper we construct a family of new (topologically distinct) solutions to the Einstein constraint equations by performing the generalized connected sum (or fiber sum) of two known compact m-dimensional constant mean curvature solutions (M ₁, g ₁, Π₁) and (M ₂, g ₂,Π₂) along a common isometrically embedded k-dimensional sub-manifold (K, g _K ). Away from the gluing locus the metric and the second fundamental form of the new solutions can be chosen as close as desired to the ones of the original solutions. The proof is essentially based on the conformal method and the geometric construction produces a polyneck between M ₁ and M ₂ whose metric is modeled fiber-wise (i. e. along the slices of the normal fiber bundle of K) around a Schwarzschild metric; for these reasons the codimension n : =  m − k of K in M ₁ and M ₂ is required to be  ≥  3. In this sense our result is a generalization of the Isenberg–Mazzeo–Pollack gluing, which works for connected sum at points and in dimension 3. The solutions we obtain for the Einstein constraint equations can be used to produce new short time vacuum solutions of the Einstein system on a Lorentzian (m + 1)-dimensional manifold, as guaranteed by a well known result of Choquet-Bruhat.     

Generalized Weyl modules for twisted current algebras

We introduce the notion of generalized Weyl modules for twisted current algebras. We study their representation-theoretic and combinatorial properties and also their connection with nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials. As an application, we compute the dimension of the classical Weyl modules in the remaining unknown case.     

On the Equivalence and Generalized of Weyl Theorem Weyl Theorem

We know that an operator T acting on a Banach space satisfying generalized Weyl＇s theorem also satisfies Weyl＇s theorem. Conversely we show that if all isolated eigenvalues of T are poles of its resolvent and if T satisfies Weyl＇s theorem, then it also satisfies generalized Weyl＇s theorem. We give also a sinlilar result for the equivalence of a-Weyl＇s theorem and generalized a-Weyl＇s theorem. Using these results, we study the case of polaroid operators, and in particular paranormal operators.     

Tensor inversion and its application to the tensor equations with Einstein product

Recently, the inverse of an even-order square tensor has been put forward in [Brazell M, Li N, Navasca C, Tamon C. Solving multilinear systems via tensor inversion. SIAM J Matrix Anal Appl. 2013;34(2):542–570] by means of the tensor group consisting of even-order square tensors equipped with the Einstein product. In this paper, several necessary and sufficient conditions for the invertibility of a tensor are obtained, and some approaches for calculating the inverse (if it exists) are proposed. Furthermore, the Cramer's rule and the elimination method for solving the tensor equations with the Einstein product are derived. In addition, the tensor eigenvalue problem mentioned in [Qi L-Q. Theory of tensors (hypermatrices). Hong Kong: Department of Applied Mathematics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University; 2014] can also be addressed by using the elimination method mentioned above. By the way, the LU decomposition and the Schur decomposition of matrices are extended to tensor case. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the main results.     

On a class of Einstein hypersurfaces immersed in a Riemannian manifold

Let x:M→ be an isometric immersion of a hypersurface M into an (n+1)-dimensional Riemannian manifold and let ρ _i  (i∈{1,...,n}) be the principal curvatures of M. We denote by E and P the distinguished vector field and the curvature vector field of M, respectively, in the sense of [8].?If M is structured by a P-parallel connection [7], then it is Einsteinian. In this case, all the curvature 2-forms are exact and other properties induced by E and P are stated.?The principal curvatures ρ _i are isoparametric functions and the set (ρ₁,...,ρ _n ) defines an isoparametric system [10].?In the last section, we assume that, in addition, M is endowed with an almost symplectic structure. Then, the dual 1-form π=P ^♭ of P is symplectic harmonic. If M is compact, then its 2nd Betti number b ₂≥1.

A curvature identity on a 6-dimensional Riemannian manifold and its applications

We derive a curvature identity that holds on any 6-dimensional Riemannian manifold, from the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet theorem for a 6-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold. Moreover, some applications of the curvature identity are given. We also define a generalization of harmonic manifolds to study the Lichnerowicz conjecture for a harmonic manifold “a harmonic manifold is locally symmetric” and provide another proof of the Lichnerowicz conjecture refined by Ledger for the 4-dimensional case under a slightly more general setting.     

Generalized fourier transform and its applications

We consider the generalized Fourier transform treated as an operator on the dual of an arbitrary locally convex space. We give a definition of this operator and establish its basic properties. Special attention is paid to cases in which the range of the generalized Fourier transform coincides with a weighted space of entire functions. The results are applied to finding the orders and types of operators in various spaces.     

Antisymmetric tensor fields and the Weyl gauge theory

The aim of the present paper is to find a spinor current—a source—in the Weyl non-Abelian gauge theory whose distinguishing feature is that it involves no abstract gauge space. It is shown that the desired spinor representation of the Weyl gauge group can be constructed in the space of antisymmetric tensor fields in the form of a 16-component quantity for which a gauge-invariant Lagrangian is established. The relationship between the Weyl non-Abelian gauge potential and the Cartan torsion field, and the question of where the interactions in question could manifest are discussed.
