2013, Abstract and Applied Analysis

Abstract

The object of the present paper is to study -manifolds with vanishing quasi-conformal curvature tensor. -manifolds satisfying Ricci-symmetric condition are also characterized.

Key takeaways

  • Recently, in [1], Shaikh introduced and studied Lorentzian concircular structure manifolds (briefly (LCS)-manifold) which generalizes the notion of LP-Sasakian manifolds, introduced by Matsumoto [2].
  • Also, Shaikh and his coauthors studied various types of (LCS) -manifolds by imposing the curvature restrictions (see [3][4][5][6]).
  • A differentiable manifold of dimension is called (LCS)-manifold if it admits a (1, 1)-type tensor field , a covariant vector field , and a Lorentzian metric which satisfy
  • Now let ( , ) be an -dimensional Riemannian manifold; then the concircular curvature tensor̃, the Weyl conformal curvature tensor , and the pseudo projective curvature tensor̃are, respectively, defined bỹ
  • Thus we have the following theorem for (LCS) -conformally flat manifolds.
