On the existence of connections with a prescribed skew-symmetric Ricci tensor
Journal Title: Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Skłodowska. Sectio A, Mathematica - Year 2018, Vol 72, Issue 2
Abstract
We study the so-called inverse problem. Namely, given a prescribed skew-symmetric Ricci tensor we find (locally) a respective linear connection.

Generalized trend constants of Lipschitz mappings
In 2015, Goebel and Bolibok defined the initial trend coefficient of a mapping and the class of initially nonexpansive mappings. They proved that the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings implies the fixed point...
The constructions of general connections on the fibred product of q copies of the first jet prolongation
We describe all natural operators A transforming general connections Gamma on fibred manifolds Y -> M and torsion-free classical linear connections Gamma on M into general connections A(Gamma, Lambda) on the fibred produ...
A spatial individual-based contact model with age structure
The Markov dynamics of an infinite continuum birth-and-death system of point particles with age is studied. Each particle is characterized by its location x∈Rd and age ax≥0. The birth and death rates of a particle are ag...
An existence and approximation theorem for solutions of degenerate nonlinear elliptic equations
The main result establishes that a weak solution of degenerate nonlinear elliptic equations can be approximated by a sequence of solutions for non-degenerate nonlinear elliptic equations.
Invo-regular unital rings
It was asked by Nicholson (Comm. Algebra, 1999) whether or not unit-regular rings are themselves strongly clean. Although they are clean as proved by Camillo–Khurana (Comm. Algebra, 2001), recently Nielsen and ˇSter show...
