In this paper we study the preserving of Riemannian and Ricci tensors with respect to a diffeomorphism of spaces with affine connection. We consider geodesic and almost geodesic mappings of the first type. The basic equations of these maps form a closed system of Cauchy type in covariant derivatives. We determine the quantity of essential (substantial) parameters on which the general solution of this problem depends.
This article studies the global conformal transformations f on a Finsler space (M, F ), which satisfy f * F = e c(x) F , where F := F (x, y) is a Finsler metric on M and x ∈ M , y ∈ T x M \ {0}. We obtain the relations between some important geometric quantities of F and their correspondences respectively, including Riemann curvatures, Ricci curvatures, Landsberg curvatures, mean Landsberg curvatures and S-curvatures. Then, we discuss the properties of those conformal transformations on (M, F ) which preserve Ricci curvature, Landsberg curvature, mean Landsberg curvature and S-curvature respectively.
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.
