On the geometry of four-dimensional Walker manifolds

We study the curvature properties of a large class of four-dimensional Walker metrics. Several interesting examples are found, in particular as regards local symmetry, conformal flatness and Einstein-like metrics. Studiamo le proprietà di curvatura di un’ampia classe di metriche di Walker di dimen...

description We study the curvature properties of a large class of four-dimensional Walker metrics. Several interesting examples are found, in particular as regards local symmetry, conformal flatness and Einstein-like metrics. Studiamo le proprietà di curvatura di un’ampia classe di metriche di Walker di dimensione quattro. Vengono messi in evidenza diversi comportamenti interessanti, in particolare per quanto riguarda esempi localmente simmetrici, conformemente piatti e muniti di metriche “Einsteinlike”.
