Abstract

This paper discusses the relationships between the metric, the connection and the curvature tensor of 4-dimensional, Ricci flat manifolds which admit a metric. It is shown that these metric and curvature objects are essentially equivalent conditions for such manifolds if one excludes certain very special cases and which occur when the signature is indefinite. In a similar vein, some relevant remarks are made regarding the Weyl conformal tensor.
