چکیده

According to Schoen and Yau (1988), an extensive class of conformally flat manifolds is realized as Kleinian manifolds. Nayatani (1997) constructed a metric on a Kleinian manifold M which is compatible with the canonical flat conformal structure. He showed that this metric gN has a large symmetry if gN is a complete metric. Under certain assumptions including the completeness of gN , the isometry group of (M,gN ) coincides with the conformal transformation group of M . In this paper, we show that gN may have a large symmetry even if gN is not complete. In particular, every conformal transformation is an isometry when (M, gN ) corresponds to a geometrically finite Kleinian group.

On conformal transformation of special curvature of Kropina metrics

      An important class of Finsler metric is named Kropina metrics which is defined by Riemannian metric α and 1-form β  which have many applications in physic, magnetic field and dynamic systems. In this paper, conformal transformations of χ-curvature and H-curvature of Kropina metrics are studied and the conditions that preserve this quantities are investigated. Also it is shown that in the ...

On Finiteness of Kleinian Groups in General Dimension

In this paper we provide a criteria for geometric finiteness of Kleinian groups in general dimension. We formulate the concept of conformal finiteness for Kleinian groups in space of dimension higher than two, which generalizes the notion of analytic finiteness in dimension two. Then we extend the argument in the paper of Bishop and Jones to show that conformal finiteness implies geometric fini...

Conformal mappings preserving the Einstein tensor of Weyl manifolds

In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a conformal mapping between two Weyl manifolds to preserve Einstein tensor. Then we prove that some basic curvature tensors of $W_n$ are preserved by such a conformal mapping if and only if the covector field of the mapping is locally a gradient. Also, we obtained the relation between the scalar curvatures of the Weyl manifolds r...
