A complete description of Osserman four-manifolds whose Jacobi operators have a nonzero double root of the minimal polynomial is given.2000 M. S. C.: 53C50, 53B30
The homogeneous affine surfaces have been classified by Opozda. They may be grouped into 3 families, which are not disjoint. The connections which arise as the Levi-Civita connection of a surface with a metric of constant Gauss curvature form one family; there are, however, two other families. For a surface in one of these other two families, we examine the Lie algebra of affine Killing vector fields and we give a complete classification of the homogeneous affine gradient Ricci solitons. The rank of the Ricci tensor plays a central role in our analysis.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 53C21.
We show that a compact Ricci soliton is rigid if and only if the Weyl conformal tensor is harmonic. In the complete noncompact case we prove the same result assuming that the curvature tensor has at most exponential growth and the Ricci tensor is bounded from below.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
