Symmetries of geometrical and physical quantities in general relativity provide important information about the curvature structure of the spacetimes. Symmetries of the curvature and the Weyl tensors, known as curvature and Weyl…

Though the Weyl tensor is a linear combination of the curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and Ricci scalar, it does not have all and only the Lie symmetries of these tensors since it is possible, in principle, that "asymmetries cancel". Here we…

We examine relations between geometry and the associated curvature decompositions in Weyl geometry.

Lie derivatives of various geometrical and physical quantities define symmetries and conformal symmetries in general relativity. Thus we obtain motions, collineations, conformal motions and conformal collineations. These symmetries are used…

We develop the properties of Weyl geometry, beginning with a review of the conformal properties of Riemannian spacetimes. Decomposition of the Riemann curvature into trace and traceless parts allows an easy proof that the Weyl curvature…

In this paper, we investigate the connection between the M-projective curvature tensor and other tensors. Also, we obtain the divergence of M-projective curvature tensor. A symmetry of spacetime known as M-projective collineation has been…

The infimum of the Weyl functional is shown to be surprisingly small on many compact 4-manifolds that admit positive-scalar-curvature metrics. Results are also proved that systematically compare the scalar and self-dual Weyl curvatures of…

It is generalized Weyl conformal curvature tensor in the case of a conformal mappings of a generalized Riemannian space in this paper. Moreover, it is found universal generalizations of it without any additional assumption. A method used in…

We review recent developments and applications of the classification of the Weyl tensor in higher dimensional Lorentzian geometries. First, we discuss the general setup, i.e. main definitions and methods for the classification, some…

The equations of General Relativity are recast in the form of a wave equation for the Weyl tensor. This allows to reformulate gravitational wave theory in terms of curvature waves, rather than metric waves. The existence of two transverse…

In this paper we study the minimal norm tensors for general third covariant tensors and fourth covariant tensors, using this we can give a new explanation of Weyl tensor and Cotten tensor: Weyl tensor is the minimal norm tensor of…

We review the theory of alignment in Lorentzian geometry and apply it to the algebraic classification of the Weyl tensor in higher dimensions. This classification reduces to the the well-known Petrov classification of the Weyl tensor in…

We work in both the complex and in the para-complex categories and examine (para)-K\"ahler Weyl structures in both the geometric and in the algebraic settings. The higher dimensional setting is quite restrictive. We show that any…

We consider a 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold M endowed with a right skew-circulant tensor structure S, which is an isometry with respect to the metric g and the fourth power of S is minus identity. We determine a class of manifolds (M,…

On a (pseudo-) Riemannian manifold of dimension n > 2, the space of tensors which transform covariantly under Weyl rescalings of the metric is built. This construction is related to a Weyl-covariant operator D whose commutator [D,D] gives…

The objective of the paper is to investigate a sequential study of different generalizations of semisymmetric and pseudosymmetric manifolds with their proper existence by several spacetimes. In the literature of differential geometry, there…

In 1966, B. O'Neill [The fundamental equations of a submersion, Michigan Math. J., Volume 13, Issue 4 (1966), 459-469.] obtained some fundamental equations and curvature relations between the total space, the base space and the fibres of a…

The Weyl geometry promises potential applications in gravity and quantum mechanics. We study the relationships between the Weyl geometry, quantum entropy and quantum entanglement based on the Weyl geometry endowing the Euclidean metric. We…

The problem of obtaining an explicit representation for the fourth invariant of geodesic motion (generalized Carter constant) of an arbitrary stationary axisymmetric vacuum spacetime generated from an Ernst Potential is considered. The…

We give lower bounds, in terms of the Euler characteristic, for the $L^2$-norm of the Weyl curvature of closed Riemannian 4-manifolds. The same bounds were obtained by Gursky, in the case of positive scalar curvature metrics.
