MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Nilpotent Szabo Osserman and Ivanov-Petrova Pseudo-Riemannian Manifolds

Bernd Fiedler and Peter B. Gilkey

Abstract

We exhibit pseudo Riemannian manifolds which are Szabo nilpotent of arbitrary order, or which are Osserman nilpotent of arbitrary order, or which are Ivanov-Petrova nilpotent of order 3.
