 On the geometry of vector bundles with flat connections Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 2019 Vol. 56, No. 5, 1219-1233 https://doi.org/10.4134/BKMS.b180983Published online September 30, 2019 Mohamed Tahar Kadaoui Abbassi, Ibrahim Lakrini University Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdallah, University Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdallah Abstract : Let $E \rightarrow M$ be an arbitrary vector bundle of rank $k$ over a Riemannian manifold $M$ equipped with a fiber metric and a compatible connection $D^{E}$. R.~Albuquerque constructed a general class of (two-weights) spherically symmetric metrics on $E$. In this paper, we give a characterization of locally symmetric spherically symmetric metrics on $E$ in the case when $D^E$ is flat. We study also the Einstein property on $E$ proving, among other results, that if $k \geq 2$ and the base manifold is Einstein with positive constant scalar curvature, then there is a 1-parameter family of Einstein spherically symmetric metrics on $E$, which are not Ricci-flat. Keywords : vector bundle, spherically symmetric metric, curvatures, Einstein manifold, local symmetry MSC numbers : 53C07, 53C24, 53C25 Downloads: Full-text PDF   Full-text HTML
