Abstract

An A-manifold is a manifold whose Ricci tensor is cyclic-parallel, equivalently it satisfies ∇<sub>X</sub> Ric(X, X) = 0. This condition generalizes the Einstein condition. We construct new examples of A-manifolds on r-torus bundles over a base which is a product of almost Hodge A-manifolds.

Summary

Introduction

One of the most extensively studied objects in mathematics and physics are Einstein manifolds (see for example [1]), i.e. manifolds whose Ricci tensor is a constant multiple of the metric tensor. Gray defined a condition which generalizes the concept of an Einsten manifold This condition states that the Ricci tensor Ric of the Riemannian manifold (M, g) is cyclic parallel, i.e. A-manifold, cyclic parallel Ricci, torus bundle, Einstein-like manifold, Killing tensor. Over every almost Hodge A-manifold with J-invariant Ricci tensor we can construct a Riemannian metric such that the total space of the bundle is an A-manifold. Of particular interest in this work is a situation when the Ricci tensor of the metric g is a Killing tensor We call such a manifold an A-manifold. In the more general situation, when the Ricci tensor is a conformal tensor we call (M, g) a AC⊥-manifold. Let X be any vector field and φ, ψ conformal Killing p-forms.
