Riemannian manifolds structured by a local conformal section (Q2565494)

The authors investigate the consequences of an \(n\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold being structured, i.e., provided, with a local conformal section \({\mathcal T}\). It is proven that when this occurs, \({\mathcal T}\) is a concurrent vector, and both a conformal vector field, and an exterior concurrent vector field. The remainder of the paper is devoted to an investigation of these properties. Contents include: introduction; preliminaries; manifolds with a local conformal section; the Lie algebra of infinitesimal transformations; and geometry of the tangent bundles.
