A Curvature identity on a 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold

Differential Geometry 2010-08-17 v1

Abstract

We give a curvature identity derived from the generalized Gauss-Bonnet formula for 4-dimensional compact oriented Riemannian manifolds. We prove that the curvature identity holds on any 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold which is not necessarily compact. We also provide some applications of the identity.
