The Scalar Curvature of a Riemannian Almost Paracomplex Manifold and Its Conformal Transformations

Abstract

A Riemannian almost paracomplex manifold is a 2n-dimensional Riemannian manifold (M,g), whose structural group O(2n,R) is reduced to the form O(n,R)×O(n,R). We define the scalar curvature π of this manifold and consider relationships between π and the scalar curvature s of the metric g and its conformal transformations.
