Some differential properties of GL_n ( R) with the trace metric

Abstract: In this note we consider some properties of

G L_{n} (m a t h b b R)

with the Semi-Riemannian structure induced by the trace metric

g

. In particular we study geodesics and curvature tensors. Moreover we prove that

G L_{n}

has a suitable foliation, whose leaves are isometric to

(S L_{n} (m a t h b b R), g)

, while its component of matrices with positive determinant is isometric to the Semi-Riemannian product manifold

S L_{n} i m e s m a t h b b R

.
