This can be compared to the fact that a conformally flat manifold of dimension n > 2 is locally conformal to a region of the sphere of the same dimension. In twistor theory, it is well-known that an even dimensional conformally flat manifold has an integrable twistor space ([7], [6], [1], [3]). It is interesting, as an analogy, that a Bochner-Kähler manifold has integrable twistor spaces define...

First, we show that a warped product of line with Riemannian manifold (fiber) is weakly conformally flat and quasi Einstein if only the fiber in which case Bach flat. Finally, characterize classify contact manifolds satisfying (and doubly weakly) quasi-Einstein ( $$\eta $$ -Einstein) conditions.

Using symmetry arguments only, we show that every spacetime with mirror-symmetric spatial sections is necessarily conformally flat. The general form of the Ricci tensor of such spacetimes is also determined. 1. Introduction. It is well known that the curvature tensor of any four-dimensional differentiable manifold has only 20 algebraically independent components. Ten out of these 20 components ...

In this paper we prove that a conformally compact Einstein manifold with the round sphere as its conformal infinity has to be the hyperbolic space. We do not assume the manifolds to be spin, but our approach relies on the positive mass theorem for asymptotic flat manifolds. The proof is based on understanding of positive eigenfunctions and compactifications obtained by positive eigenfunctions. ...

It is a classical fact that the cotangent bundle T M of a differentiable manifold M enjoys a canonical symplectic form Ω. If (M, J, g, ω) is a pseudo-Kähler or para-Kähler 2n-dimensional manifold, we prove that the tangent bundle TM also enjoys a natural pseudo-Kähler or para-Kähler structure (J̃, g̃,Ω), where Ω is the pull-back by g of Ω and g̃ is a pseudoRiemannian metric with neutral signature ...

This paper aims to classify the holonomy of the conformal Tractor connection, and relate these holonomies to the geometry of the underlying manifold. The conformally Einstein case is dealt with through the construction of metric cones, whose Riemannian holonomy is the same as the Tractor holonomy of the underlying manifold. Direct calculations in the Ricci-flat case and an important decompositi...
