Abstract

A complete decomposition of the space of curvature tensors over a Hermitian vector space into irreducible factors under the action of the unitary group is given. The dimensions of the factors, the projections, their norms and the quadratic invariants of a curvature tensor are determined. Several applications for almost Hermitian manifolds are given. Conformal invariants are considered and a general Bochner curvature tensor is introduced and shown to be a conformal invariant. Finally curvature tensors on four-dimensional manifolds are studied in detail.
