Abstract

In the present paper we study geodesic mappings of special pseudo-Riemannian manifolds called Vn(K)V_n(K)-spaces. We prove that the set of solutions of the system of equations of geodesic mappings on Vn(K)V_n(K)-spaces (K0)(K\neq0) forms a special Jordan algebra and the set of solutions generated by consircular fields is an ideal of this algebra. We show that pseudo-Riemannian manifolds admitting a concircular field of the basic type form the class of manifolds closed with respect to the geodesic mappings.
