2 Curvature tensors whose Jacobi or Szabo?
operator is nilpotent on null vectors
Peter Gilkey? and Iva Stavrov
February 8, 2008
Abstract
We show that any k Osserman Lorentzian algebraic curvature tensor
has constant sectional curvature and give an elementary proof that any
local 2 point homogeneous Lorentzian manifold has constant sectional
curvature. We also show that a Szabo? Lorentzian covariant derivative
algebraic curvature tensor vanishes.
1 Introduction
Let V be a vector space equipped with a symmetric inner product of signature
(p, q) and dimension m = p+ q ≥ 3. V is said to be Riemannian if p = 0 and
Lorentzian if p = 1. A 4 tensor R ∈ ?4V ? is said to be an algebraic curvature
tensor if R has the symmetries of the curvature of the Levi-Civita connection:
R(x, y, z, w) = R(z, w, x, y) = ?R(y, x, z, w), and
R(x, y, z, w) +R(y, z, x, w) +R(z, x, y, w) = 0.
A 5 tensor, which we denote symbolically by ?R ∈ ?5V ?, is said to be a
covariant derivative algebraic curvature tensor if ?R has the symmetries of the
covariant derivative of the curvature of the Levi-Civita connection:
?R(a, b, c, d; e) = ??R(b, a, c, d; e) = ?R(c, d, a, b; e),
?R(a, b, c, d; e) +?R(a, c, d, b; e) +?R(a, d, b, c; e) = 0, and
?R(a, b, c, d; e) +?R(a, b, d, e; c) +?R(a, b, e, c; d) = 0.
The Jacobi operator JR(x) and the Szabo? operator SR(x) are the symmetric
linear operators on V defined by:
(JR(x)y, w) = R(y, x, x, w) and (S?R(x)y, w) = ?R(y, x, x, w;x).

In Section 2, we study the geometry of the Jacobi operator. Let k be an
index 1 ≤ k ≤ m ? 1 and let {e1, ..., ek} be an orthonormal basis for a non-
degenerate k dimensional subspace σ ? V . The higher
