چکیده

Pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of balanced signature which are both spacelike and timelike Jordan Osserman nilpotent of order 2 and of order 3 have been constructed previously. In this short note, we shall construct pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature (2s, s) for any s ≥ 2 which are spacelike Jordan Osserman nilpotent of order 3 but which are not timelike Jordan Osserman. Our example and techniques are quite different from known previously both in that they are not in neutral signature and that the manifolds constructed will be spacelike but not timelike Jordan Osserman.

Curvature Homogeneous Spacelike Jordan Osserman Pseudo-riemannian Manifolds

Let s ≥ 2. We construct Ricci flat pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature (2s, s) which are not locally homogeneous but whose curvature tensors never the less exhibit a number of important symmetry properties. They are curvature homogeneous; their curvature tensor is modeled on that of a local symmetric space. They are spacelike Jordan Osserman with a Jacobi operator which is nilpotent of ord...

We exhibit 3 families of complete curvature homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are modeled on irreducible symmetric spaces and which are not locally homogeneous. All of the manifolds have nilpotent Jacobi operators; some of the manifolds are, in addition, Jordan Osserman and Jordan Ivanov-Petrova.

Higher Order Jordan Osserman Pseudo-riemannian Manifolds

We study the higher order Jacobi operator in pseudo-Riemannian geometry. We exhibit a family of manifolds so that this operator has constant Jordan normal form on the Grassmannian of subspaces of signature (r, s) for certain values of (r, s). These pseudo-Riemannian manifolds are new and nontrivial examples of higher order Osserman manifolds. Subject Classification: 53B20. PACS numbers: 0240, 0...

Szabó Osserman Ip Pseudo-riemannian Manifolds

We construct a family of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds so that the skew-symmetric curvature operator, the Jacobi operator, and the Szabó operator have constant eigenvalues on their domains of definition. This provides new and non-trivial examples of Osserman, Szabó, and IP manifolds. We also study when the associated Jordan normal form of these operators is constant. Subject Classification: 53B20.
