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 کاملA Note on Distributional Semi-riemannian Geometry
We discuss some basic concepts of semi-Riemannian geometry in low-regularity situations. In particular, we compare the settings of (linear) distributional geometry in the sense of L. Schwartz and nonlinear distributional geometry in the sense of J.F. Colombeau. AMS Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): Primary: 83C75; secondary: 46T30, 53B30, 46F10, 46F30.
متن کاملLorentz and Semi-riemannian Spaces with Alexandrov Curvature Bounds
A semi-Riemannian manifold is said to satisfy R ≥ K (or R ≤ K) if spacelike sectional curvatures are ≥ K and timelike ones are ≤ K (or the reverse). Such spaces are abundant, as warped product constructions show; they include, in particular, big bang Robertson-Walker spaces. By stability, there are many non-warped product examples. We prove the equivalence of this type of curvature bound with l...
متن کاملCurvature Flows in Semi-riemannian Manifolds
We prove that the limit hypersurfaces of converging curvature flows are stable, if the initial velocity has a weak sign, and give a survey of the existence and regularity results.
متن کاملSpacetimes characterized by their scalar curvature invariants
In this paper we determine the class of four-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds that can be completely characterized by the scalar polynomial curvature invariants constructed from the Riemann tensor and its covariant derivatives. We introduce the notion of an I-non-degenerate spacetime metric, which implies that the spacetime metric is locally determined by its curvature invariants. By determinin...
