Relative nullity foliation of the screen distribution of lightlike Einstein hypersurfaces in Lorentzian spaces

open access: yes, 2006
This paper deals with results concerning the relative nullity foliation of the screen distribution of a lightlike Einstein hypersurface M in the Lorentzian space $R1n+2$ and gives a characterization theorem for the relative nullity spaces.

On some methods of construction of invariant normalizations of lightlike hypersurfaces

open access: yes, 2000
The authors study the geometry of lightlike hypersurfaces on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (M,g) of Lorentzian signature. Such hypersurfaces are of interest in general relativity since they can be models of different types of physical horizons.

Embedding Galilean and Carrollian geometries. I. Gravitational waves

open access: yes, 2020
International audienceThe aim of this series of papers is to generalize the ambient approach of Duval et al. regarding the embedding of Galilean and Carrollian geometries inside gravitational waves with parallel rays.

Wind Finslerian structures: from Zermelo\u27s navigation to the causality of spacetimes

open access: yes, 2021
The notion of wind Finslerian structure is developed; this is a generalization of Finsler metrics where the indicatrices at the tangent spaces may not contain the zero vector.

Lightlike hypersurfaces in semi-Riemannian manifold with semi-symmetric non-metric connection

open access: yes, 2008
In this paper, we study lightlike hypersurfaces of a semi-Riemannian manifold admitting a semi-symmetric non-metric connection. We give the equations of Gauss and Codazzi.

GEOMETRY OF LIGHTLIKE HYPERSURFACES OF AN INDEFINITE COSYMPLECTIC MANIFOLD

open access: yesCommunications of the Korean Mathematical Society, 2012
The author studies the geometry of light-like hypersurfaces \(M\) of an indefinite cosymplectic manifold \(\overline M\) such that either (1) the characteristic vector field \(\zeta\) of \(\overline M\) belongs to the screen distribution \(S\) of \(M\) or (2) \(\zeta\) belongs to the orthogonal complement \(S^{\perp}\) of \(S\) in \(T\overline M\).

Special lightlike hypersurfaces of indefinite Kaehler manifolds

open access: yesFilomat, 2016
In this paper, we define three types of lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite Kaehler manifold, which are called Hopf, recurrent and Lie recurrent lightlike hypersurfaces. After that we provide several new results on such three type lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite Kaehler manifold or an indefinite almost complex space form.

Lightlike hypersurfaces in indefinite S-manifolds

open access: yes, 2010
In a metric g.f.f-manifold we study lightlike hypersurfaces M tangent to the characteristic vector fields, and owing to the presence of the f-structure, we determine some decompositions of TM and of a chosen screen distribution obtaining two ...

Newton transformations on null hypersurfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
summary:Any rigged null hypersurface is provided with two shape operators: with respect to the rigging and the rigged vector fields respectively. The present paper deals with the Newton transformations built on both of them and establishes related ...
