Four Dimensional Conformal C-spaces
We investigate the structure of conformal C-spaces, a class of Riemmanian man-ifolds which naturally arises as a conformal generalisation of the Einstein condition. A basic question is when such a structure is closed, or equivalently locally conformally Cotton. In dimension 4 we obtain a full answer to this question and also investigate the incidence of the Bach condition on this class of metri...
متن کاملGlobal Conformal Invariants of Submanifolds
The goal of the present paper is to investigate the algebraic structure of global conformal invariants of submanifolds. These are defined to be conformally invariant integrals of geometric scalars of the tangent and normal bundle. A famous example of a global conformal invariant is the Willmore energy of a surface. In codimension one we classify such invariants, showing that under a structural ...
متن کاملScreen conformal half-lightlike submanifolds
We study some properties of a half-lightlike submanifoldM , of a semi-Riemannianmanifold, whose shape operator is conformal to the shape operator of its screen distribution. We show that any screen distribution S(TM) of M is integrable and the geometry of M has a close relation with the nondegenerate geometry of a leaf of S(TM). We prove some results on symmetric induced Ricci tensor and null s...
متن کاملGravitational Axial Anomaly for Four Dimensional Conformal Field Theories
We construct the three point function involving an axial vector current and two energymomentum tensors for four dimensional conformal field theories. Conformal symmetry determines the form of this three point function uniquely up to a constant factor if the necessary conservation conditions are imposed. The gravitational axial anomaly present on a curved space background leads to a non-zero con...
متن کاملAlmost Invariant Submanifolds for Compact Group Actions
A compact (not necessarily connected) Lie group G carries a (unique) biinvariant probability measure. Using this measure, one can average orbits of actions of G on affine convex sets to obtain fixed points. In particular, if G acts on a manifoldM , G leaves invariant a riemannian metric onM , and this metric can sometimes be used to obtain fixed points for the nonlinear action of G on M itself....
