On the δ-Pinching Function of the Sectional Curvature of a Compact Connected Lie Group G with a Bi-Invariant Riemannian Metric and a Vectorial Torsion Connection
УДК 517.545
Abstract
One of the important problems of Riemannian geometry is the problem of establishing connections between curvature and the topology of a Riemannian manifold, and, in particular, the influence of the sign of sectional curvature on the topological structure of a Riemannian manifold. Of particular importance in these studies is the question of the influence of d-pinching of Riemannian metrics of positive sectional curvature on the geometric and topological structure of the Riemannian manifold. This question is most studied for the homogeneous Riemannian case. In this direction, the classification of homogeneous Riemannian manifolds of positive sectional curvature, obtained by M. Berger, N. Wallach, L. Bergeri, as well as a number of results on d- pinching of homogeneous Riemannian metrics of positive sectional curvature, is well known.
In this paper, we investigate Riemannian manifolds with metric connection being a connection with vectorial torsion. The Levi-Civita connection falls into this class of connections. Although the curvature tensor of these connections does not possess the symmetries of the Levi-Civita connection curvature tensor, it seems possible to determine sectional curvature. This paper studies the d-pinch function of the sectional curvature of a compact connected Lie group G with a biinvariant Riemannian metric and a connection with vectorial torsion. It is proved that it takes the values d(||V ||)∈(0,1].
