Extended Schouten classification for non-Riemannian geometries
نویسنده
چکیده
A generalized connection, including Christoffel coefficients, torsion, non-metricity tensor and metric-asymmetricity object, is analyzed according to the Schouten classification. The inverse structure matrix is found in the linearized regime, autoparallel trajectories are defined and the contribution of the components of the connection are clarified at first-order approximation.

Entropy Production and Equilibrium Conditions of General-Covariant Spin Systems
In generalizing the special-relativistic one-component version of Eckart’s continuum thermodynamics to general-relativistic space-times with Riemannian or post-Riemannian geometry as presented by Schouten (Schouten, J.A. Ricci-Calculus, 1954) and Blagojevic (Blagojevic, M. Gauge Theories of Gravitation, 2013) we consider the entropy production and other thermodynamical quantities, such as the e...
متن کاملSchouten curvature functions on locally conformally flat Riemannian manifolds
Consider a compact Riemannian manifold (M, g) with metric g and dimension n ≥ 3. The Schouten tensor Ag associated with g is a symmetric (0, 2)-tensor field describing the non-conformally-invariant part of the curvature tensor of g. In this paper, we consider the elementary symmetric functions {σk(Ag), 1 ≤ k ≤ n} of the eigenvalues of Ag with respect to g; we call σk(Ag) the k-th Schouten curva...
متن کاملA Calculus for Differential Invariants of Parabolic Geometries
The Wünsch’s calculus for conformal Riemannian invariants is reformulated and essentially generalized to all parabolic geometries. Our approach is based on the canonical Cartan connections and the Weyl connections underlying all such geometries. The differential invariants for various geometric structures are the core ingredients for numerous applications both in geometry and geometric analysis...
متن کاملSchouten Tensor and Some Topological Properties
In this paper, we prove a cohomology vanishing theorem on locally conformally flat manifold under certain positivity assumption on the Schouten tensor. And we show that this type of positivity of curvature is preserved under 0-surgeries for general Riemannian manifolds, and construct a large class of such manifolds.
متن کاملErgodicity of Bowen-margulis Measure for the Benoist 3-manifolds: Extended Version
We study the geodesic flow of a class of 3-manifolds introduced by Benoist which have some hyperbolicity but are non-Riemannian, not CAT(0), and with non-C geodesic flow. The geometries are nonstrictly convex Hilbert geometries in dimension three which admit compact quotient manifolds by discrete groups of projective transformations. We prove the Patterson-Sullivan density is canonical, with ap...
