On pseudo-Riemannian manifolds whose Ricci tensor is parallel (Q5948671)

The first section of this paper discusses the de Rham-Wu's-theorem, its consequences in the studied problem, and the reasons why the pseudo-Riemannian case allows specific phenomena. The main theorem that classifies these phenomena is stated in section 2 and is proved in sections 3 and 4. In section 5 the authors consider the complex case, i.e. complex manifolds with a complex Riemannian structure, which appears as a special case of the main theorem. Finally, section 6 gives some details on certain low-dimensional cases, on the holonomy decomposition as compared with the Ricci-decomposition, on the number of (linearly independent) metrics with the same connection, together with some symmetric examples.
