ON THE LIFTS OF SEMI-RIEMANNIAN METRICS
In this paper, we extend Sasaki metric for tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold and Sasaki-Mok metric for the frame bundle of a Riemannian manifold [I] to the case of a semi-Riemannian vector bundle over a semi- Riemannian manifold. In fact, if E is a semi-Riemannian vector bundle over a semi-Riemannian manifold M, then by using an arbitrary (linear) connection on E, we can make E, as a...
متن کاملOn the Distribution of Conjugate Points along Semi-riemannian Geodesics
Helfer in [6] was the first to produce an example of a spacelike Lorentzian geodesic with a continuum of conjugate points. In this paper we show the following result: given an interval [a, b] of IR and any closed subset F of IR contained in ]a, b], then there exists a Lorentzian manifold (M, g) and a spacelike geodesic γ : [a, b] → M such that γ(t) is conjugate to γ(a) along γ iff t ∈ F .
متن کاملStability of the Conjugate Index, Degenerate Conjugate Points and the Maslov Index in Semi-riemannian Geometry
We investigate the problem of the stability of the number of conjugate or focal points (counted with multiplicity) along a semi-Riemannian geodesic γ. For a Riemannian or a nonspacelike Lorentzian geodesic, such number is equal to the intersection number (Maslov index) of a continuous curve with a subvariety of codimension one of the Lagrangian Grassmannian of a symplectic space. In the general...
متن کاملOn Spaces of Polynomial Growth with No Conjugate Points
The following generalization of the Hopf conjecture is proved: if the fundamental group of an n-dimensional compact polyhedral space M without boundary and with no conjugate points has polynomial growth, then there exists a finite covering of M by a flat torus. §
متن کاملWarped product and quasi-Einstein metrics
Warped products provide a rich class of physically significant geometric objects. Warped product construction is an important method to produce a new metric with a base manifold and a fibre. We construct compact base manifolds with a positive scalar curvature which do not admit any non-trivial quasi-Einstein warped product, and non compact complete base manifolds which do not admit any non-triv...
