    Complete curvature homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds

    Full text link
    We exhibit 3 families of complete curvature homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are modeled on irreducible symmetric spaces and which are not locally homogeneous. All of the manifolds have nilpotent Jacobi operators; some of the manifolds are, in addition, Jordan Osserman and Jordan Ivanov-Petrova.Comment: Update paper to fix misprints in original versio

    Curvature homogeneous spacelike Jordan Osserman pseudo-Riemannian manifolds

    Full text link
    Let s be at least 2. We construct Ricci flat pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature (2s,s) which are not locally homogeneous but whose curvature tensors never the less exhibit a number of important symmetry properties. They are curvature homogeneous; their curvature tensor is modeled on that of a local symmetric space. They are spacelike Jordan Osserman with a Jacobi operator which is nilpotent of order 3; they are not timelike Jordan Osserman. They are k-spacelike higher order Jordan Osserman for 2≤k≤s2\le k\le s; they are k-timelike higher order Jordan Osserman for s+2≤k≤2ss+2\le k\le 2s, and they are not k timelike higher order Jordan Osserman for 2≤s≤s+12\le s\le s+1.Comment: Update bibliography, fix minor misprint
