Abstract

A condition of Osserman type, called ϕ\phi-null Osserman condition, is introduced and studied in the context of Lorentz globally framed ff-manifolds. An explicit example shows the naturalness of this condition in the setting of Lorentz S\mathcal{S}-manifolds. We prove that a Lorentz S\mathcal{S}-manifold with constant ϕ\phi-sectional curvature is ϕ\phi-null Osserman, extending a result stated for Lorentz Sasaki space forms. Then we state some characterizations for a particular class of ϕ\phi-null Osserman S\cal{S}-manifolds. Finally, some examples are examined.
