Complex Osserman Algebraic Curvature Tensors and Clifford Families
We use methods of algebraic topology to study the eigenvalue structure of a complex Osserman algebraic curvature tensor. We classify the algebraic curvature tensors which are both Osserman and complex Osserman in all but a finite number of exceptional dimensions.
متن کاملJordan Szabó Algebraic Covariant Derivative Curvature Tensors
We show that if R is a Jordan Szabó algebraic covariant derivative curvature tensor on a vector space of signature (p, q), where q ≡ 1 mod 2 and p < q or q ≡ 2 mod 4 and p < q − 1, then R = 0. This algebraic result yields an elementary proof of the geometrical fact that any pointwise totally isotropic pseudo-Riemannian manifold with such a signature (p, q) is locally symmetric.
متن کاملKernels of Canonical Algebraic Curvature Tensors
In this paper, we generalize a result on the possible dimensions of the kernel of a linear combination of a particular type of canonical algebraic curvature tensors. We then introduce a new framework for viewing canonical algebraic curvature tensors, using the wedge product, which allows us to give shorter and more transparent proofs of some basic facts about these tensors.
متن کاملMethods for the construction of generators of algebraic curvature tensors
We demonstrate the use of several tools from Algebraic Combinatorics such as Young tableaux, symmetry operators, the Littlewood-Richardson rule and discrete Fourier transforms of symmetric groups in investigations of algebraic curvature tensors. In [10, 12, 13] we constructed and investigated generators of algebraic curvature tensors and algebraic covariant derivative curvature tensors. These i...
متن کاملOn the Structure Groups of Decomposable Algebraic Curvature Tensors
This paper examines the action of GLN (R) on decomposable algebraic curvature tensors. The main result is that the structure group of a decomposable algebraic curvature tensor can only permute the subspaces into which the tensor decomposes: if the tensor decomposes into tensors Ri on Vi where V = ⊕k i=1 Vi, then for any matrix A in the structure group there exists a permutation σ such that A : ...
