Riemannian Manifolds of Conullity Two

by Oldrich Kowalski, Lieven Vanhecke, Eric Boeckx

This book deals with Riemannian manifolds for which the nullity space of the curvature tensor has codimension two. These manifolds are "semi-symmetric spaces foliated by Euclidean leaves of codimension two" in the sense of Z I Szab . The authors concentrate on the rich geometrical structure and explicit descriptions of these remarkable spaces. Also parallel theories are developed for manifolds of "relative conullity two". This makes a bridge to a...
