Abstract
Abstract We develop the theory of left-invariant generalized pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Lie groups. Such a metric accompanied by a choice of left-invariant divergence operator gives rise to a Ricci curvature tensor, and we study the corresponding Einstein equation. We compute the Ricci tensor in terms of the tensors (on the sum of the Lie algebra and its dual) encoding the Courant algebroid structure, the generalized metric, and the divergence operator. The resulting expression is polynomial and homogeneous of degree 2 in the coefficients of the Dorfman bracket and the divergence operator with respect to a left-invariant orthonormal basis for the generalized metric. We determine all generalized Einstein metrics on three-dimensional Lie groups.
期刊介绍:
The Canadian Journal of Mathematics (CJM) publishes original, high-quality research papers in all branches of mathematics. The Journal is a flagship publication of the Canadian Mathematical Society and has been published continuously since 1949. New research papers are published continuously online and collated into print issues six times each year.
To be submitted to the Journal, papers should be at least 18 pages long and may be written in English or in French. Shorter papers should be submitted to the Canadian Mathematical Bulletin.
Le Journal canadien de mathématiques (JCM) publie des articles de recherche innovants de grande qualité dans toutes les branches des mathématiques. Publication phare de la Société mathématique du Canada, il est publié en continu depuis 1949. En ligne, la revue propose constamment de nouveaux articles de recherche, puis les réunit dans des numéros imprimés six fois par année.
Les textes présentés au JCM doivent compter au moins 18 pages et être rédigés en anglais ou en français. C’est le Bulletin canadien de mathématiques qui reçoit les articles plus courts.
