We prove the theorem: The second order quasi-linear differential operator as a second rank divergence free tensor in the equation of motion for gravitation could always be derived from the trace of the Bianchi derivative of the fourth rank…

For a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ with an (1,1)-elliptic Codazzi self-adjoint tensor field $A$ on it, we use the divergence type operator ${L_A}(u): = div(A\nabla u)$ and an extension of the Ricci tensor to extend some major comparison…

In order to study the properties of Lovelock gravity theories in low dimensions, we define the kth-order Riemann-Lovelock tensor as a certain quantity having a total 4k-indices, which is kth-order in the Riemann curvature tensor and shares…

We prove the equivalence between the several notions of generalized Ricci curvature found in the literature. As an application, we characterize when the total generalized Ricci tensor is symmetric.

We classify all higher-order generalised Einstein-Maxwell Lagrangians that include terms linear in the curvature tensor and quadratic in the derivatives of the electromagnetic field strength tensor. Using redundancies due to the Bianchi…

We study the geometry of the tangent bundle equipped with a two-parameter family of Riemannian metrics. After deriving the expression of the Levi-Civita connection, we compute the Riemann curvature tensor and the sectional, Ricci and scalar…

We suggest a tensor equation on Riemannian manifolds which can be considered as a generalization of the Dirac equation for the electron. The tetrad formalism is not used. Also we suggest a new form of the tensor Dirac equation with a…

A sequence of generalizations of Cartan's conservation of torsion theorem is given for n-dimensional differentiable manifolds having a general linear connection.

We develop the theory of weighted Ricci curvature in a weighted Lorentz-Finsler framework and extend the classical singularity theorems of general relativity. In order to reach this result, we generalize the Jacobi, Riccati and Raychaudhuri…

The Riemann curvature tensor fully encodes local geometry, but its Ricci contraction retains only limited information: only the Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature survive, while the Weyl curvature vanishes identically. We show that…

Using the Levi-Civita connection on the noncommutative differential one-forms of a spectral triple $(\B,\H,\D)$, we define the full Riemann curvature tensor, the Ricci curvature tensor and scalar curvature. We give a definition of Dirac…

We show that the covariant derivative of a spinor for a general affine connection, not restricted to be metric compatible, is given by the Fock-Ivanenko coefficients with the antisymmetric part of the Lorentz connection. The projective…

Within the framework of the Lovelock gravity theory, we propose a new rank-four divergenceless tensor consisting of the Riemann curvature tensor and inheriting its algebraic symmetry characters. Such a tensor can be adopted to define…

In the literature various notions of nonlocal curvature can be found. Here we propose a notion of nonlocal curvature tensor. This we do by generalizing an appropriate representation of the classical curvature tensor and by exploiting some…

Using generalized field strength tensors for non-Abelian tensor gauge fields one can explicitly construct all possible Lorentz invariant quadratic forms for rank-4 non-Abelian tensor gauge fields and demonstrate that there exist only two…

The metric tensor field equations for the general quadratic curvature gravity in four spacetime dimensions are derived by making use of the algebra of the exterior forms defined on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and the identities satisfied by…

This paper introduces a novel theoretical framework for identifying Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) in manifolds with non-constant curvature, extending the theory to Finsler manifolds. By leveraging Riemannian and Finsler geometry, we…

We introduce the concept of singular values for the Riemann curvature tensor, a central mathematical tool in Einstein's theory of general relativity. We study the properties related to the singular values, and investigate five typical cases…

In this paper, we establish and employ a local framework to the first order of Riemann's curvature tensor in order to develop the corresponding coordinate non commutativity into general manifolds. We also exploit a new translation of…

Some general Finsler connections are defined. Emphasis is being made on the Cartan tensor and its derivatives. Vanishing of the hv-curvature tensors of these connections characterizes Landsbergian, Berwaldian as well as Riemannian…
