Abstract: |
In this papor the author establishes the following
1. If llln(w>‘3) is a cohneeted. Kieinanniah manifold, then the sectional curvature K(p), where p is any plane in T_x(M), is a function of at most n(n-1)/2 variables. More precisely, K(p) depends on at most n(n-l)/2 parameters of group SO(n).
2. Lot M^n(n\leq 3) be a connected Riemannian manifold. If there exists a point x \in M such that the sectional curvature K(p) is-independent of the plane p\in T_x(M), then M is a space of constant curvature.
This latter improves a well-known theorem of F. Schur. |
