Curvature Properties of Generalized pp-Wave Metrics

open access: yes, 2021
The main objective of the present paper is to investigate the curvature properties of generalized pp-wave metrics. It is shown that a generalized pp-wave spacetime is Ricci generalized pseudosymmetric, 2-quasi-Einstein and generalized quasi-Einstein in ...

Extended Derdzinski-Shen theorem for the Riemann tensor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We extend a classical result by Derdzinski and Shen, on the restrictions imposed on the Riemann tensor by the existence of a nontrivial Codazzi tensor. The new conditions of the theorem include Codazzi tensors (i.e.

Geometry of Quaternionic K\"ahler connections with torsion

open access: yes, 2000
The target space of a (4,0) supersymmetric two-dimensional sigma model with Wess-Zumino term has a connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion and holonomy contained in Sp(n).Sp(1), QKT-connection. We study the geometry of QKT-connections.

On curvature properties of Som–Raychaudhuri spacetime [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Som–Raychaudhuri (Proc R Soc Lond A 304:81–86, 1968) spacetime is a stationary cylindrical symmetric solution of Einstein field equation corresponding to a charged dust distribution in rigid rotation.

Auditory Hair Cell Mechanotransduction Channels Dynamically Shape the Mechanical Properties of Their Membrane Environment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
This work shows, for the first time, that the stereocilia membrane in cochlear hair cells is dynamically regulated by the mechanotransduction channel to impact the membrane mechanical properties. This work provides direct evidence that the opening and closing associated with the MET channel is regulating the membrane viscosity suggesting that the MET ...

Stimuli‐Responsive Chemical Systems That Mimic Biological Dynamics

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 1, 2 January 2026.
Chemists are designing synthetic systems that mimic life's dynamic behaviors, such as motion, sensing, adaptation, and compartmentalization, by integrating reaction networks with stimuli like light, pH, and chemical fuels. This mini‐review surveys molecular machines, responsive materials, nucleic acid networks, and artificial cells, highlighting how ...

Isoparametric foliation and a problem of Besse on generalizations of Einstein condition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The focal sets of isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres with g = 4 are all Willmore submanifolds, being minimal but mostly non-Einstein ([TY1], [QTY]).

Quantum GraviElectro Dynamics

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 1, January 2026.
The BRST invariant Lagrangian of the gravitationally interacting U(1)$U(1)$ gauge theory, namely the Quantum GraviElectro Dynamics (QGED). The Yan–Mills theory with the Hilbert–Einstein gravitational Lagrangian, namely the Yang–Mills–Utiyama (YMU) theory, is defined and quantised using the standard procedure. The theory is perturbatively renormalisable,

Chronic and acute mediators of passive viscoelasticity in human skeletal muscle fibres

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 12, Page 1948-1965, December 1, 2025.
Abstract The cellular viscoelastic modulus in skeletal muscle tissue responds dynamically to chronic stressors, such as age and exercise. Passive tissue mechanics can also be sensitive to acute stimuli, such as mechanical loading and/or activation‐induced muscle fatigue.

On weakly Ricci symmetric lightlike hypersurfaces of indefinite Sasakian manifolds

open access: yesSUT Journal of Mathematics, 2008
. This paper deals with weakly Ricci-symmetric lightlike hypersurfaces of inde(cid:12)nite Sasakian manifolds, tangent to the structure vector (cid:12)eld. We prove that, in a weakly Ricci symmetric lightlike (cid:17) -Einstein (or Einstein) hypersurface
