Four-dimensional Osserman Metrics of Neutral Signature
نویسنده
چکیده
In the algebraic context, we show that null Osserman, spacelike Osserman, and timelike Osserman are equivalent conditions for a model of signature (2,2). We also classify the null Jordan Osserman models of signature (2,2). In the geometric context, we show that a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of signature (2,2) is null Jordan Osserman if and only if either it has constant sectional curvature or it is locally a complex space form.

Einstein structures on four-dimensional nutral Lie groups
When Einstein was thinking about the theory of general relativity based on the elimination of especial relativity constraints (especially the geometric relationship of space and time), he understood the first limitation of especial relativity is ignoring changes over time. Because in especial relativity, only the curvature of the space was considered. Therefore, tensor calculations should be to...
متن کاملNilpotent Spacelike Jorden Osserman Pseudo-riemannian Manifolds
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 tech...
متن کاملGeometric Properties of Neutral Signature Metrics on 4-dimensional Nilpotent Lie Groups
The classification of left invariant metrics of neutral signature on the 4-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups is presented. Their geometry is extensively studied with special emphasis on the holonomy groups and projective equivalence. Additionally, we focus our attention on the Walker metrics. They appear as the underlying structure of metrics on the nilpotent Lie groups with degenerate center. F...

The purpose of this article is to review some recent results on the geometry of neutral signature metrics in dimension four and their twistor spaces. The following topics are considered: Neutral Kähler and hyperkähler surfaces, Walker metrics, Neutral anti-self-dual 4-manifolds and projective structures, Twistor spaces of neutral metrics.
متن کاملCompleteness, Ricci Blowup, the Osserman and the Conformal Osserman Condition for Walker Signature (2, 2) Manifolds
Walker manifolds of signature (2, 2) have been used by many authors to provide examples of Osserman and of conformal Osserman manifolds of signature (2, 2). We study questions of geodesic completeness and Ricci blowup in this context.
