A four dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifold of signature (2, 2) is called a Walker manifold if it admits a parallel degenerate plane field. In this paper, we study the curvature properties of such a class of four dimensional Walker manifolds. In particular, we characterize Walker metrics of a given form which are Einstein-like.
The hypersurface is one of the most important objects in a space. Many authors studied diffrent geometric aspects of hypersurfaces in a space. In this paper, we define three types of 2-ruled hypersurfaces in a Walker 4-manfold E 41 . We obtain the Gaussian and mean curvatures of the 2-ruled hypersurfaces of type-1, type-2 and type 3. We give some characterizations about its minimality. We also deal with the first Laplace-Beltrami operators of these types of 2-ruled hypersurfaces in the considered Walker 4-manifold.
Some basic geometric properties of doubly twisted product immersions are established.
In this paper, we prove that the deformed Riemannian extension of any affine Szabó manifold is a Szabó pseudo-Riemannian metric and vice-versa. We proved that the Ricci tensor of an affine surface is skew-symmetric and nonzero everywhere if and only if the affine surface is Szabó. We also find the necessary and sufficient condition for the affine Szabó surface to be recurrent. We prove that for an affine Szabó recurrent surface the recurrence covector of a recurrence tensor is not locally a gradient.
In this paper, we study the doubly warped product manifolds with semisymmetric metric connection. We derive the curvatures formulas for doubly warped product manifold with semi-symmetric metric connection in terms of curvatures of components of doubly warped product manifolds. We also prove the necessary and sufficient condition for a doubly warped product manifold to be a warped product manifold. We obtain some results for Einstein doubly warped product manifold and Einstein-like doubly warped product manifold of class A with respect to a semi-symmetric metric connection.
The warped product $M_1 \times_F M_2$ of two Riemannian manifolds $(M_1,g_1)$ and $(M_2,g_2)$ is the product manifold $M_1 \times M_2$ equipped with the warped product metric $g=g_1 + F^2 g_2$, where $F$ is a positive function on $M_1$. The notion of warped product manifolds is one of the most fruitful generalizations of Riemannian products. Such a notion plays very important roles in differential geometry as well as in physics, especially in general relativity. In this paper we study warped product manifolds endowed with a Tripathi connection. We establish some relationships between the Tripathi connection of the warped product $M$ to those $M_1$ and $M_2$.
Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional manifold with a torsion free affine connection $\nabla$ and let $T^*M$ be the cotangent bundle. In this paper, we consider some of the geometrical aspect of a twisted Riemannian extension which provide a link between the affine geometry of $(M,\nabla)$ and the neutral signature pseudo-Riemannian geometry of $T^*M$. We investigate the spectral geometry of the Szabó operator on $M$ and on $T^*M$.
In this paper, we introduce a new structure, namely, affine Szabó connection. We prove that, on $2$-dimensional affine manifolds, the affine Szabó structure is equivalent to one of the cyclic parallelism of the Ricci tensor. A characterization for locally homogeneous affine Szabó surface is obtained. Examples of two- and three-dimensional affine Szabó manifolds are also given.
In this paper, we investigate geometric properties of some curvature tensors of a four-dimensional Walker manifold. Some characterization theorems are also obtained.
In this paper, we consider the cyclic parallel Ricci tensor condition, which is a necessary condition for an affine manifold to be Szabó. We show that, in dimension $3$, there are affine manifolds which satisfy the cyclic parallel Ricci tensor but are not Szabó. Conversely, it is known that in dimension $2$, the cyclic parallel Ricci tensor forces the affine manifold to be Szabó. Examples of $3$-dimensional affine Szabo manifolds are also given. Finally, we give some properties of Riemannian extensions defined on the cotangent bundle over an affine Szabó manifold.
In this paper, we show that the projection of a dualistic structure defined on a twisted product manifold induces dualistic structures on the base and the fiber manifolds, and conversely. Then under some conditions on the Ricci curvature and the Weyl conformal tensor we characterize dually flat structures on twisted product manifolds.
