We continue the study of the question of when a pseudo-Riemannain manifold can be locally characterised by its scalar polynomial curvature invariants (constructed from the Riemann tensor and its covariant derivatives). We make further use…

We classify complete orientable hypersurfaces of constant isotropic curvature in space forms. We show that such a hypersurface has constant mean curvature only if it is an isoparametric hypersurface, and that it is minimal if and only if it…

The projective curvature tensor $P$ is invariant under a geodesic preserving transformation on a semi-Riemannian manifold. It is well known that $P$ is not a generalized curvature tensor and hence it possesses different geometric properties…

A curvature model (V,A) is a real vector space V which is equipped with a "curvature operator" A(x,y)z that A has the same symmetries as an affine curvature operator; A(x,y)z=-A(y,x)z and A(x,y)z+A(y,z)x+A(z,x)y=0. Such a model is called…
