    Cyclic homogeneous Riemannian manifolds

    Get PDF
    In spin geometry, traceless cyclic homogeneous Riemannian manifolds equipped with a homogeneous spin structure can be viewed as the simplest manifolds after Riemannian symmetric spin spaces. In this paper, we give some characterizations and properties of cyclic and traceless cyclic homogeneous Riemannian manifolds and we obtain the classification of simply-connected cyclic homogeneous Riemannian manifolds of dimension less than or equal to four. We also present a wide list of examples of non-compact irreducible Riemannian 33-symmetric spaces admitting cyclic metrics and give the expression of these metrics

    Homogeneous spin Riemannian manifolds with the simplest Dirac operator

    Get PDF
    We show the existence of nonsymmetric homogeneous spin Riemannian manifolds whose Dirac operator is like that on a Riemannian symmetric spin space. Such manifolds are exactly the homogeneous spin Riemannian manifolds (M,g)(M,g) which are traceless cyclic with respect to some quotient expression M=G/KM=G/K and reductive decomposition g=k⊕m\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{k} \oplus \mathfrak{m}. Using transversally symmetric fibrations of noncompact type, we give a list of them

    All invariant contact metric structures on tangent sphere bundles of compact rank-one symmetric spaces

    Full text link
    All invariant contact metric structures on tangent sphere bundles of each compact rank-one symmetric space are obtained explicitly, distinguishing for the orthogonal case those that are K-contact, Sasakian or 3-Sasakian. Only the tangent sphere bundle of complex projective spaces admits 3-Sasakian metrics and there exists a unique orthogonal Sasakian-Einstein metric. Furthermore, there is a unique invariant contact metric that is Einstein, in fact Sasakian-Einstein, on tangent sphere bundles of spheres and real projective spaces. Each invariant contact metric, Sasakian, Sasakian-Einstein or 3-Sasakian structure on the unit tangent sphere of any compact rank-one symmetric space is extended, respectively, to an invariant almost Kahler, Kahler, Kahler Ricci-flat or hyperKahler structure on the punctured tangent bundle
