Einstein-like pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous manifolds of dimension four (Q350231): Difference between revisions

In this paper the authors classify four-dimensional homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds satisfying relaxed variants of the Einstein condition. More precisely: First, a pseudo-Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) is \textit{Ricci-parallel} if its Ricci tensor is parallel with respect to its own Levi-Civita connection. Then, Theorem 3.1 in the article contains the full list of all four-dimensional non-Einstein but Ricci-parallel pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous spaces with non-trivial isotropy group. Second, a pseudo-Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) is called to belong to \textit{class A} if its Ricci tensor satisfies the cyclic property \[ \nabla_X\mathrm{Ric}_g(Y,Z)+\nabla_Z\mathrm{Ric}_g(X,Y)+\nabla_Y\mathrm{Ric}_g(Z,X)=0 \] for all tangent vector fields \(X,Y,Z\) on \(M\). Then Theorem 4.1 in the article contains the full list of all four-dimensional non-Ricci-parallel but class-A pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous spaces with non-trivial isotropy group. Third, a pseudo-Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) is called to belong to \textit{class B} if its Ricci tensor is of Codazzi-type, i.e., \[ \nabla_X\mathrm{Ric}_g(Y,Z)=\nabla_Y\mathrm{Ric}_g(X,Z) \] for all tangent vector fields \(X,Y,Z\) on \(M\). Then, Theorem 5.1 in the article contains the full list of all four-dimensional non-Ricci-parallel but class-B pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous spaces with non-trivial isotropy group.
