In this study, we investigate the intrinsic properties of compact biconservative hypersurfaces in space forms. In this framework, we establish rigidity results without imposing the assumption of constant scalar curvature. Furthermore, we…

We examine the moduli space of oriented locally homogeneous manifolds of Type A which have non-degenerate symmetric Ricci tensor both in the setting of manifolds with torsion and also in the torsion free setting where the dimension is at…

The difference tensor C.R - R.C of Einstein manifolds, some quasi-Einstein manifolds and Roter type manifolds, of dimension n > 3, satisfy the following curvature condition: (A) C.R - R.C = Q(S,C) - (k /(n-1)) Q(g,C). We investigate…

Any compact spacelike hypersurface immersed in a doubly warped product spacetime $I{}_{h} \times_{\rho} \mathbb{P}$ with nondecreasing warping factor $\rho$ must be a spacelike slice, provided that the mean curvature satisfies…

For the general class of pseudo-Finsler spaces with $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions such that these admit a Finsler spacetime structure. This means that the fundamental tensor has Lorentzian…

Our purpose in this paper is to apply some maximum principles in order to study the rigidity of complete spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in a spatially weighted generalized Robertson-Walker (GRW) spacetime, which is supposed to obey the so…

We consider space-times which are asymptotically flat at spacelike infinity, i^0. It is well known that, in general, one cannot have a smooth differentiable structure at i^0, but have to use direction dependent structures. Instead of the…

The results of paper [1] are generalized for vacuum type-III solutions with, in general, a non-vanishing cosmological constant Lambda. It is shown that all curvature invariants containing derivatives of the Weyl tensor vanish if a type-III…

We consider the interpretation in classical geometry of conformal field theories constructed from orbifolds with discrete torsion. In examples we can analyze, these spacetimes contain ``stringy regions'' that from a classical point of view…

This paper studies the two-component spinor form of massive spin-3/2 potentials in conformally flat Einstein four-manifolds. Following earlier work in the literature, a non-vanishing cosmological constant makes it necessary to introduce a…

In this paper we present a space-time calculus for symmetric spinors, including a product with a number of index contractions followed by symmetrization. As all operations stay within the class of symmetric spinors, no involved index…
