Curvature homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are not locally homogeneous (Q5465264)

A pseudo-Riemannian manifold is called locally homogeneous if every pair of points have isometric neighborhoods, and it is called curvature homogeneous if for every pair of points, the curvature tensors (restricted to the tangent space of the points) are equivalent by an isometry. The aim is to find curvature homogeneous manifolds that are not locally homogeneous. The situation in the Riemannian setting has alredy been studied by several authors [see \textit{O. Kowalski, F. Tricerri} and \textit{L. Vanhecke}, J. Math. Pures Appl., IX. Sér. 71, 471--501 (1992; Zbl 0836.53029)], as well as the Lorentzian setting. Here a family of examples of curvature homogeneous but non-locally homogeneous is constructed in signature \((p,p)\) for any \(p>3\). Those examples are hypersurfaces in a flat space, modeled on a symmetric space, and first arose in the study of Szabó Osserman IP pseudo-Riemannian manifolds [\textit{P. B. Gilkey, R. Ivanova} and \textit{T. Zhang}, Publ. Math. 62, 387--401 (2003; Zbl 1026.53007), Classical Quantum Gravity 19, 4543--4551 (2002; Zbl 1161.53354)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1062.53001].
