In this paper, we first give two fundamental principles under a technique to characterize conformal vector fields of $(\alpha,\beta)$ spaces to be homothetic and determine the local structure of those homothetic fields. Then we use the…

In this paper, it is proved that any conformal vector field is homothetic on a locally projectively flat $(\alpha,\beta)$-space of non-Randers type in dimension $n\ge 3$, and the local solutions of such a vector field are determined. While…

For a field $\ef$, the discrete topological vector spaces over $\ \ef$ are essentially of the form $\ef^{\alpha}$ where $\alpha$ is an ordinal. With additional appropriate properties, they are isomorphic to $\ef^{(\beta)}$ where $\beta$ is…

A study of proper conformal vector field in non conformally flat cylindrically symmetric static space-times is given by using direct integration technique. Using the above mentioned technique we have shown that a very special class of the…

Conformal fields are a recently discovered class of representations of the algebra of vector fields in $N$ dimensions. Invariant first-order differential operators (exterior derivatives) for conformal fields are constructed.

The aim of the paper is to understand the local forms of conformal vector fields in the neighborhood of a singularity. We begin a general study in this direction, for any pseudo-Riemannian type, and give a complete answer in the Riemannian…

$Vect(N)$, the algebra of vector fields in $N$ dimensions, is studied. Some aspects of local differential geometry are formulated as $Vect(N)$ representation theory. There is a new class of modules, {\it conformal fields}, whose…

We characterize harmonic spaces in terms of the dimensions of various spaces of radial eigen-spaces of the Laplacian $\Delta^0$ on functions and the Laplacian $\Delta^1$ on 1-forms. We examine the nature of the singularity as the geodesic…

We classify, up to a natural equivalence relation, vector fields of the plane which belong to the kernel of a 1--form. This form can be closed, in which case the vector fields are integrable, or not, in which case the differential of the…

In this paper, we use less topological restrictions and more geometric and analytic conditions to obtain some sufficient conditions on Yamabe solitons such that their metrics are Yamabe metrics, that is, metrics of constant scalar…

We introduce the concept of bi-conformal transformation, as a generalization of conformal ones, by allowing two orthogonal parts of a manifold with metric $\G$ to be scaled by different conformal factors. In particular, we study their…

We give essentially unique ``normal forms'' for germs of a holomorphic vector field of the complex plane in the neighborhood of an isolated singularity which is a p:q resonant-saddle. Hence each vector field of that type is conjugate, by a…

A vector field s on a Riemannian manifold M is said to be harmonic if there exists a member of a 2-parameter family of generalised Cheeger-Gromoll metrics on TM with respect to which s is a harmonic section. If M is a simply-connected…

This is a set of lecture notes on the operator algebraic approach to 2-dimensional conformal field theory. Representation theoretic aspects and connections to vertex operator algebras are emphasized. No knowledge on operator algebras or…

Conformal blocks form a system of vector bundles over the moduli space of complex curves with marked points. We discuss various aspects of these bundles. In particular, we present conjectures about the dimensions of sub-bundles. They imply…

A new class of conformal field theories is presented, where the background gravitational field is conformally flat. Conformally flat (CF) spacetimes enjoy conformal properties quite similar to the ones of flat spacetime. The conformal…

A subset $A$ of a vector space $X$ is called $\alpha$-lineable whenever $A$ contains, except for the null vector, a subspace of dimension $\alpha$. If $X$ has a topology, then $A$ is $\alpha$-spaceable if such subspace can be chosen to be…
