On Contravariant Product Conjugate Connections
نویسنده
چکیده
Invariance properties for the covariant and contravariant connections on a Riemannian manifold with respect to an almost product structure are stated. Restricting to a distribution of the contravariant connections is also discussed. The particular case of the conjugate connection is investigated and properties of the extended structural and virtual tensors for the contravariant connections are given.

Connections in Poisson Geometry I: Holonomy and Invariants
We discuss contravariant connections on Poisson manifolds. For vector bundles, the corresponding operational notion of a contravariant derivative had been introduced by I. Vaisman. We show that these connections play an important role in the study of global properties of Poisson manifolds and we use them to define Poisson holonomy and new invariants of Poisson manifolds.
متن کاملBimodule deformations, Picard groups and contravariant connections
We study deformations of invertible bimodules and the behavior of Picard groups under deformation quantization. While K0-groups are known to be stable under formal deformations of algebras, Picard groups may change drastically. We identify the semiclassical limit of bimodule deformations as contravariant connections and study the associated deformation quantization problem. Our main focus is on...
متن کاملOn the existence of a gyroscope in spaces with affine connections and metrics
Conditions for the existence of a gyroscope in spaces with affine connections and metrics are found. They appear as special types of Fermi-Walker transports for vector fields, lying in a subspace, orthogonal to the velocity vector field (a non-null contravariant vector field) of an observer.
متن کاملRelating Modal Refinements, Covariant-Contravariant Simulations and Partial Bisimulations
This paper studies the relationships between three notions of behavioural preorder that have been proposed in the literature: refinement over modal transition systems, and the covariant-contravariant simulation and the partial bisimulation preorders over labelled transition systems. It is shown that there are mutual translations between modal transition systems and labelled transition systems t...
