Abstract

:
In the beginning, the basic facts about a conformal transformations are exposed and then equitorsion conformal transformations are defined. For every five independent curvature tensors in Generalized Riemannian space, the above cited transformations are investigated and corresponding invariants-5 concircular tensors of concircular transformations are found.

1. Introduction

In the sense of Eisenhart’s definition [1], a generalized Riemannian space ( G R N ) is a differentiable N-dimensional manifold that is endowed with basic non-symmetric tensor ( g i j g j i ) , where d e t g i j 0 .
The symmetric part of g i j is noted with g i j ̲ and antisymmetric one with g i j V . The lowering and rising of indices in G R N is defined by g i j ̲ and g i j ̲ , respectively, where g i j ̲ g i k ̲ = δ j k ( d e t g i j ̲ 0 ) . The Christoffel symbols in G R N are given in the next manner:
a ) Γ i . j k = 1 2 ( g j i , k g j k , i + g i k , j ) , b ) Γ j k i = g i p ̲ Γ p . j k = 1 2 g i p ̲ ( g j p , k g j k , p + g p k , i ) , where , e . g . , g i j , k = g i j / x k .
Because of non-symmetry of the affine connection coefficients Γ j k i by indices j and k, there are four kinds of covariant differentiation in the space GR N . Namely, for a tensor a j i , these covariant derivatives are defined as:
a j | 1 2 3 4 m i = a j , m i + Γ p m m p p m m p i a j p Γ j m m j m j j m p a p i .
Yano in [2] investigates a conformal and concircular transformations in the R N . In that case, of course, he considers one that is Riemannian curvature tensor. De and Mandal in [3] studied concircular curvature tensors as important tensors from the differential geometric point of view. In [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11], Mikeš et al. have studied special kinds ot transformations in Riemannian space.
Minčić, in his doctoral dissertation (Novi Sad, 1975), obtained 12 curvature tensors, using non-symmetric connection. Among these 12 tensors, five of them are independent (se also [12,13,14,15,16,17]) and they are noted R 1 , , R 5 .
In [18], another combination of five independent curvature tensors is obtained, and they are denoted by K 1 K 5 .
For five independent tensors K θ in [19], the invariants Z θ were found, which are different from the invariants Z ˜ θ in the present paper (see Remark 3.1, at the end). Compare e.g., Z ˜ 1 from the present paper and Z 1 from [19], where R 1 = K 1 .
Investigation of various kinds of mappings in the settings of generalized Riemannian spaces is an active research topic, numerous results were obtained in the recent years; see, for instance [20,21,22]. Very recently, conformal and concircular diffeomorphisms of generalized Riemannian spaces have been studied by M. Z Petrović, M. S. Stanković and P. Peška [23].

2. Equitorsion Conformal Transformation in Generalized Riemannian Space

Consider a special transformation of the objects in G R N .
Definition 1.
Conformal transformation is that one under which the basic tensor is changed according to the law
g ¯ i j ( x ) = ρ 2 ( x ) g i j ( x ) , ( g i j g j i ) ,
where ρ ( x ) = ρ ( x 1 , , x N ) is some differentiable function of coordinates in G R N .
We see that g and g ¯ are considered in the common system of coordinates. The same is valid for the other geometric objects.
Furthermore, we have:
d s 2 = g i j d x i d x j , d s ¯ 2 = g ¯ i j d x i d x j = ρ 2 g i j d x i d x j ,
d s ¯ 2 = ρ 2 d s 2 d s ¯ / d s = ρ .
If the transformation (3) is effected, for the Christoffel symbols, it is obtained
Γ ¯ i . j k = 1 2 ( g ¯ j i , k g ¯ j k , i + g ¯ i k , j ) = ρ 2 [ ρ , k ρ g j i ρ , i ρ g j k + ρ , j ρ g i k + 1 2 ( g j i , k g j k , i + g i k , j ) ] .
Denoting
( l n ρ ) , i = ( l n ρ ) x i = 1 ρ ρ , i = ρ i ,
the previous equation gives
Γ ¯ i . j k = ρ 2 ( Γ i . j k + g j i ρ k g j k ρ i + g i k ρ j ) .
For Γ ¯ j k i , according to (1), we get
Γ ¯ j k i = 1 2 g ¯ i p ̲ ( g ¯ j p , k g ¯ j k , p + g ¯ p k , j ) .
Because the inverse matrix for ( g i j ̲ ) is the matrix ( g i j ̲ ) , we get
g ¯ i j ̲ ( x ) = [ ρ ( x ) ] 2 g i j ̲ ( x )
and, based on (1), (6), (8),
Γ ¯ j k i = Γ j k i + δ j i ρ k + δ k i ρ j ρ i g j k ̲ + ξ j k i ,
where
ξ j k i = g i p ̲ ( g j p V ρ k g j k V ρ p + g p k V ρ j ) .
Denote
ρ i = g i p ̲ ρ p = ( 5 ) g i p ̲ ( l n ρ ) , p .
From (9), it is obtained: for the symmetric part of the connection
Γ ¯ j k ̲ i = Γ j k ̲ i + δ j i ρ k + δ k i ρ j ρ i g j k ̲ ,
and for the torsion tensor (double skewsymmetric part of the connection)
T ¯ j k i = 2 Γ ¯ j k V i = T j k i + 2 g i p ̲ ( g j p V ρ k g k p V ρ j + g k j V ρ p ) = T j k i + 2 ξ j k i .
Definition 2.
An equitorsion conformal transformation of the connection in G R N is that conformal transformation (3) on the base of which the torsion is not changed, i.e.,
T ¯ j k i = Γ ¯ j k i Γ ¯ k j i = Γ j k i Γ k j i = T j k i .
From (13), we conclude that
Theorem 1.
Necessary and sufficient condition for a conformal transformation of the connection to be equitorsion is
ξ j k i = g i p ̲ ( g j p V ρ k g k p V ρ j + g k j V ρ p ) = 0 .

3. Curvature Tensors in Equitorsion Conformal and Concircular Transformation in Generalized Riemannian Space

3.1. The First Curvature Tensor

The 1st from the cited curvature tensors in G R N is [12,13]
R 1 j m n i = Γ j m , n i Γ j n , m i + Γ j m p Γ p n i Γ j n p Γ p m i .
Based on (15), (9), we obtain
Γ ¯ j k i = Γ j k i + δ j i ρ k + δ k i ρ j ρ i g j k ̲ .
If by the transformation of the connection Γ into Γ ¯ we write
a ) Γ ¯ j k i = Γ j k i + P j k i , b ) P j k i = δ j i ρ k + δ k i ρ j ρ i g j k ̲ = P k j i ,
we can consider how e.g., some curvature tensors from the above mentioned independent ones are transformed.
With respect to (18), for R 1 , one obtains
R ¯ 1 j m n i = Γ ¯ j m , n i Γ ¯ j n , m i + Γ ¯ j m p Γ ¯ p n i Γ ¯ j n p Γ ¯ p m i = R 1 j m n i + P j m | 1 n i P j n | 1 m i + P j m p P p n i P j n p P p m i + T m n p P j p i ,
and substituting P from (18b):
R ¯ 1 j m n i = R 1 j m n i + δ j i ( ρ m | 1 n ρ n | 1 m + T m n p ρ p ) + δ m i ( ρ j | 1 n + ρ j ρ n ) δ n i ( ρ j | 1 m ρ j ρ m ) + ( ρ | 1 m i ρ i ρ m ) g j n ̲ ( ρ | 1 n i ρ i ρ n ) g j m ̲ + ρ p ρ p ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) + T m n i ρ j T j . m n ρ i ,
where | 1 m denotes covariant derivative of the first kind on x m . Because
ρ m | 1 n ρ n | 1 m = T m n p ρ p ,
the 2nd addend on the right side in (20) is 0. Introducing the notation
ρ 1 i j = ρ i | 1 j ρ i ρ j + 1 2 g r s ̲ ρ r ρ s g i j ̲ = ρ i | 1 j ρ i ρ j + 1 2 ρ r ρ r g i j ̲ ,
we obtain
ρ 1 m n ρ 1 n m = ( 22 ) ρ m | 1 n ρ n | 1 m = T m n p ρ p ,
and, for R 1 ¯ j m n i ,
R 1 ¯ j m n i = R 1 j m n i + δ m i ( ρ 1 j n 1 2 g r s ̲ ρ r ρ s g j n ̲ ) δ n i ( ρ 1 j m 1 2 g r s ̲ ρ r ρ s g j m ̲ ) + g i p ̲ g j n ̲ ( ρ p | 1 m ρ p ρ m ) g i p ̲ g j m ̲ ( ρ p | 1 n ρ p ρ n ) + ρ p ρ p ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) + A j m n i                     
is obtained, where
A j m n i = T m n i ρ j T j . m n ρ i .
Furthermore,
R 1 ¯ j m n i = R 1 j m n i + δ m i ( ρ 1 j n 1 2 g r s ̲ ρ r ρ s g j n ̲ ) δ n i ( ρ 1 j m 1 2 g r s ̲ ρ r ρ s g j m ̲ ) + g i p ̲ g j n ̲ ( ρ 1 p m 1 2 g r s ̲ ρ r ρ s g p m ̲ ) g i p ̲ g j m ̲ ( ρ 1 p n 1 2 g r s ̲ ρ r ρ s g p n ̲ ) + ρ p ρ p ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) + A j m n i ,                    
from where
R 1 ¯ i j m n = R 1 j m n i + δ m i ρ 1 j n δ n i ρ 1 j m δ m i g j n ̲ ρ p ρ p + δ n i g j m ̲ ρ p ρ p + ρ m i g j n ̲ ρ n i g j m ̲ + ρ p ρ p ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) + A j m n i ,   
and putting in order:
R 1 ¯ i j m n = R 1 j m n i + δ m i ρ 1 j n δ n i ρ 1 j m + ρ 1 m i g j n ̲ ρ 1 n i g j m ̲ + A j m n i ,
where A j m n i is given in (24). We are using the next definition from [2]
Definition 3.
If a conformal transformation in a Riemannian space R N :
g ¯ i j = ρ 2 g i j , ( g i j = g j i )
transforms every geodesic circle into geodesic circle, the function ρ ( x ) satisfies the partial differential equation
ρ i j = Φ ( x ) g i j ( x ) , ( g i j = g j i ) ,
where
ρ i j = ρ i ; j ρ i ρ j + 1 2 ρ p ρ p g i j , ( g i j = g j i ) .
Such a transformation is calleda concircular transformationin R N , andconcircular geometryis geometry that treats the concircular transformations and the spaces that allow such kinds of transformations.
In the G R N , we consider transformations
g ¯ i j = ρ 2 g i j , ( g i j g j i )
where, based on (22), ρ i | 1 j ρ j | 1 i in G R N . Now, we take
ρ 1 i j ̲ = Φ 1 ( x ) g i j ̲ ( x ) , ( g i j g j i ) ,
and such a transformation we name a concircular transformation of the first kind in G R N .
We have to find the function Φ 1 . Substituting ρ 1 from (30) into (26), we get:
R 1 ¯ j m n i = R 1 j m n i + 2 Φ 1 ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) + A j m n i .
If we effect the contraction with i = n , it follows that
R 1 ¯ j m = R 1 j m + 2 Φ 1 ( δ m i g j i ̲ δ i i g j m ̲ ) ,
where R 1 j m = R 1 j m i i , and so on, and we get:
R 1 ¯ j m = R 1 j m + 2 ( 1 N ) Φ 1 g j m ̲ + A j m .
By multiplying the corresponding sides of previous equation and the equation
ρ 2 g ¯ j m ̲ = g j m ̲ ,
we obtain
ρ 2 R 1 ¯ = g j m ̲ { R 1 j m + 2 ( 1 N ) Φ 1 g j m ̲ + A j m } ,
where R 1 ¯ j m g ¯ j m ̲ = R 1 ¯ and so on, while
A j m g j m ̲ = ( 24 ) A j m i i g j m ̲ = ( T m i i ρ j T j . m i ρ i ) g j m ̲ = 0 ,
and we get
ρ 2 R 1 ¯ = R 1 + Φ 1 [ 2 ( N 1 ) N ] ,
wherefrom it follows that
Φ 1 ( x ) = ρ 2 R 1 ¯ R 1 2 ( N 1 ) N .
Substituting Φ 1 into (31), we get
R 1 ¯ j m n i = R 1 j m n i ρ 2 R 1 ¯ R 1 ( N 1 ) N ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) + A j m n i
and from here
R 1 ¯ j m n i + R ¯ 1 ( ρ 2 δ m i g j n ρ 2 δ n i g j m ) ( N 1 ) N        = R 1 j m n i + R 1 ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) ( N 1 ) N + A j m n i .
Taking into consideration that
ρ i = 1 2 N [ ( ln g ¯ ) , i ( ln g ) , i ] = 1 2 N ( g ¯ i g i ) , g = d e t ( g i j ) ,
with respect to (24) and (35)
A j m n i = T m n i ρ j T j . m n ρ i = T m n i ρ j T j . m n g i p ̲ ρ p = ( 35 ) 1 2 N [ T m n i ( g ¯ j g j ) T j . m n g i p ̲ ( g ¯ p g p ) ] = 1 2 N [ ( T ¯ m n i g ¯ j T ¯ j . m n g ¯ i p ̲ g ¯ p ) ( T m n i g j T j . m n g i p ̲ g p ) ] ,                
where T m n i = T ¯ m n i (for the first addend) and g i p ̲ g q j ̲ = g ¯ i p ̲ g ¯ q j ̲ (for the third addend). By substituting from (36) into (34) and because of
g m i = g ¯ m i , ρ 2 g j m = g ¯ j m , δ ¯ m i = δ m i ,
we obtain
R 1 ¯ j m n i + R ¯ 1 ( δ ¯ m i g ¯ j n ̲ δ ¯ n i g ¯ j m ̲ ) ( N 1 ) N + 1 2 N ( T ¯ j . m n g ¯ i p ̲ g ¯ p T ¯ m n i g ¯ j ) , = R 1 j m n i + R ¯ 1 ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) ( N 1 ) N + 1 2 N ( T j . m n g i p ̲ g p T m n i g j ) .
In that manner, we conclude that the following theorem is valid:
Theorem 2.
The tensor
Z ˜ 1 j m n i = R 1 j m n i + R 1 ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) ( N 1 ) N + 1 2 N ( T j . m n g i p ̲ g p T m n i g j )
is an invariant in the space G R N , by an equitorsion concircular transformation i.e., according to (38):
Z ˜ ¯ 1 j m n i = Z ˜ 1 j m n i ,
where e.g., g j = ( ln g ) , j = ( ln g ) x j and Z ˜ 1 j m n i is given by (39).
The tensor Z ˜ 1 j m n i is an equitorsion concircular tensor of the first kind in G R N .

3.2. The Second Curvature Tensor

The tensor R 2 in G R N is [12,17]
R 2 j m n i = Γ m j , n i Γ n j , m i + Γ m j p Γ n p i Γ n j p Γ m p i ,
and, for R ¯ 2 j m n i , by virtue of (18), it follows that
R ¯ 2 j m n i = R 2 j m n i + P m j | 2 n i P n j | 2 m i + P m j p P m p i P n j p P m p i T m n p P p j i .
Substituting from (18) into the previous equation and arranging, one obtains
R ¯ 2 j m n i = R 2 m j , n i + δ j i ( ρ m | 2 n ρ n | 2 m T m n p ρ p ) + δ m i ( ρ j | 2 n ρ i ρ n ) δ n i ( ρ j | 2 m ρ i ρ m ) + ( ρ | 2 m i ρ i ρ m ) g j n ̲ ( ρ | 2 n i ρ i ρ n ) g j m ̲ + ρ p ρ p ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) T m n i ρ j + T j . m n ρ i .
The term in the 1 s t bracket on the right side is 0 because of
ρ m | 2 n ρ n | 2 m = T m n p ρ p .
If we introduce the denotation
ρ 2 i j = ρ i | 2 j ρ i ρ j + 1 2 ρ r ρ r g i j ̲ ,
we have
ρ 2 m n ρ 2 n m = ρ m | 2 n ρ n | 2 m = T m n p ρ p
and, for R 2 ¯ j m n i from (43)–(45), it follows that
R 2 ¯ j m n i = R 2 j m n i + δ m i ρ 2 j n δ n i ρ 2 j m + ρ 2 m i g j n ̲ ρ 2 n i g j m ̲ A j m n i ,
where A j m n i is given (24). Furthermore, we use the concircular transformation for R 2
ρ 2 i j ̲ = Φ 2 ( x ) g i j ̲ ( x ) .
By substitution of ρ 2 i j into (46), by procedure as for R 1 , we obtain
Φ 2 = ρ 2 R ¯ 2 R 2 2 ( N 1 ) N
and at the end:
R 2 ¯ j m n i = R 2 j m n i ρ 2 R ¯ 2 R 2 ( N 1 ) N ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) A j m n i ,
where A j m n i is given in (24).
Thus, we conclude that the next theorem is valid.
Theorem 3.
The tensor
Z 2 ˜ i j m n = R 2 j m n i + R 2 ( δ m i g j n δ n i g j m ) ( N 1 ) N 1 2 N ( T j . m n g i p ̲ g p T m n i g j )
is an invariant in G R N with respect to an equitorsion concircular transformation, i.e., in force is
Z 2 ˜ ¯ j m n i = Z 2 ˜ j m n i .
The tensor Z 2 ˜ isan equitorsion concircular tensor of the 2 n d kind at G R N and e.g., g j = ( ln g ) = ( ln g ) x j .

3.3. The Third Curvature Tensor

The tensor R 3 in G R N [12,14,17] is
R 3 j m n i = Γ j m , n i Γ n j , m i + Γ j m p Γ n p i Γ n j p Γ p m i + Γ n m p T p j i ,
where T p j i is torsion tensor in local coordinates. For R 3 j m n i on the base of (18), it is obtained
R ¯ 3 j m n i = R 3 j m n i + P j m | 2 n i P n j | 1 m i + P n p i P j m p P p m i P n j p + T p j i P n m p ,
where we take into consideration that P j p i is symmetric, with respect to (18).
By substituting from (18) into the previous equation and arranging, one obtains
R ¯ 3 j m n i = R 3 j m n i + δ m i ( ρ 2 j n 1 2 ρ p ρ p g j n ̲ ) δ n i ( ρ 1 j m 1 2 ρ p ρ p g j m ̲ ) + g i p ̲ g j n ̲ ( ρ 1 p m 1 2 ρ r ρ r g p m ̲ ) g i p ̲ g j m ̲ ( ρ 2 p n 1 2 ρ r ρ r g p m ̲ ) + ρ p ρ p δ m i g j n ̲ ρ p ρ p δ n i g j m ̲ + D j m n i ,
where
D j m n i = T j m i ρ n + T n j i ρ m + g p s ̲ g m n ̲ T j p i ρ s .
From (55), it is obtained that
R ¯ 3 j m n i = R 3 j m n i + δ m i ρ 2 j n δ n i ρ 1 j m + ρ 1 m i g j n ̲ ρ 2 n i g j m ̲ + D j m n i .
Consider, further, the concircular transformation for the tensor R 3 j m n i in the following manner.
Taking
ρ θ i j ̲ = Φ 3 ( x ) g i j ̲ ( x ) , θ = 1 , 2 ,
we obtain from (56)
R ¯ 3 j m n i = R 3 j m n i + 2 Φ 3 δ m i g j n ̲ ( δ n i g j m ̲ ) + D j m n i .
Putting i = n , we get
R ¯ 3 j m = R 3 j m + 2 Φ 3 δ m i g j i ̲ ( δ i i g j m ̲ ) + D j m ,
and contracting with ρ 2 g ¯ j m = g j m ̲ on the left and the right sides correspondingly in (59), we get
ρ 2 R ¯ 3 = R 3 + 2 Φ 3 ( 1 N ) N
because
D = D j m g j m ̲ = D j m i i g j m ̲ = ( 55 ) ( T j m i ρ i + T i j i ρ m + g p s ̲ g m i ̲ T j p i ρ s ) g j m ̲ = T j m i ρ i g j m ̲ + 0 + g p s ̲ δ i j T j p i ρ s = T j m i ρ i g j m ̲ = T i . j m ρ i g j m ̲ = T j . i m ρ i g j m ̲ = T i m m ρ i = 0 .
By the further procedure as in the case of R 1 , we obtain
Φ 3 ( x ) = ρ 2 R ¯ 3 R 3 ( N 1 ) N .
Consider, further, the tensor D j m n i . By virtue of (35), one gets
D j m n i = 1 2 N [ T j m i ( g ¯ n g n ) + T n j i ( g ¯ m g m ) + g p s ̲ g m n ̲ T j p i ( g ¯ s g s ) ] ,
where the equitorsion is taken into consideration.
Substituting from (62), (63) into (58), it follows that
R ¯ 3 j m n i = R 3 j m n i ρ 2 R ¯ 3 R 3 ( N 1 ) N ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ )         + 1 2 N [ T j m i ( g ¯ n g n ) + T n j i ( g ¯ m g m ) + g p s ̲ g m n ̲ T j p i ( g ¯ s g s ) ] .
from where we conclude that the next theorem is valid.
Theorem 4.
The tensor
Z 3 ˜ i j m n = R 3 j m n i + R 3 ( δ m i g j n δ n i g j m ) ( N 1 ) N 1 2 N ( T j m i g n + T n j i g m + g p s ̲ g m n ̲ T j p i g s )
is an invariant in G R N with respect to an equitorsion concircular transformation, i.e., it is
Z ˜ ¯ 3 j m n i = Z 3 ˜ j m n i .
The tensor Z 3 ˜ isan equitorsion concircular tensor of the 3rd kind at G R N .

3.4. The Fourth Curvature Tensor

For the tensor R 4 in G R N , we have [13,14,17]
R 4 j m n i = Γ j m , n i Γ n j , m i + Γ j m p Γ n p i Γ n j p Γ p m i + Γ m n p T p j i ,
where T p j i is torsion tensor in local coordinates. For R 4 j m n i on the base of (18), it is obtained
R ¯ 4 j m n i = R 4 j m n i + P j m | 2 n i P n j | 1 m i + P n p i P j m p P p m i P n j p + T p j i P m n p .
From (53), (68), it follows that
R ¯ 4 j m n i R ¯ 3 j m n i = R 4 j m n i R 3 j m n i + 2 P m n V p T p j i = R 4 j m n i R 3 j m n i
because P m n V p = 0 . Thus, we have
R ¯ 4 j m n i R 4 j m n i = R ¯ 3 j m n i R 3 j m n i          = ( 56 ) δ m i ρ 2 j n δ n i ρ 1 j m + ρ 1 m i g j n ̲ ρ 2 n i g j m ̲ + D j m n i ,
where D j m n i is given in (55). For the concircular transformation for the tensor R 4 j m n i , we put
ρ θ i j ̲ = Φ 4 ( x ) g i j ̲ ( x ) , θ = 1 , 2 ,
and, by the same procedure as in the previous case, the next theorem is obtained.
Theorem 5.
The tensor
Z ˜ 4 j m n i = R 4 j m n i + R 4 ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) ( N 1 ) N 1 2 N ( T j m i g n + T n j i g m + g p s ̲ g m n ̲ T j p i g s )
is an invariant in G R N with respect to an equitorsion concircular transformation, i.e., in force is
Z ˜ ¯ 4 j m n i = Z 4 ˜ j m n i .
The tensor Z 4 ˜ isan equitorsion concircular tensor of the 4th kind at G R N .

3.5. The Fifth Curvature Tensor

Finally, consider the 5th curvature tensor R 5 j m n i in G R N (in [12] R 5 is denoted with R ˜ 2 ) . We have according to [12,17]
R 5 j m n i = 1 2 ( Γ j m , n i + Γ m j , n i Γ j n , m i Γ n j , m i + Γ j m p Γ p n i + Γ m j p Γ n p i Γ j n p Γ m p i Γ n j p Γ p m i ) ,
which can be written in the form [17]:
R ¯ 5 j m n i = R 5 j m n i + 1 2 ( P j m | 3 n i P j n | 4 m i + P m j | 4 n i P n j | 3 m i + P j m p P p n i P j n p P m p i + P m j p P n p i P n j p P p m i ) ,
where P j k i is given in (18). With substitution of P from (18) into (73), one obtains
R ¯ 5 j m n i = R 5 j m n i + 1 2 [ δ j i ( ρ m | 2 n ρ n | 1 m ρ m | 1 n ρ n | 2 m ) + δ m i ( ρ j | 2 n + ρ j | 1 n 2 ρ j ρ n + ρ p ρ p g j n ̲ ) δ n i ( ρ j | 1 m + ρ j | 2 m 2 ρ j ρ m + ρ p ρ p g j m ̲ ) + g j n ̲ ( ρ | 1 m i + ρ | 2 m i 2 ρ i ρ m ) g j m ̲ ( ρ | 1 n i + ρ | 2 n i 2 ρ i ρ n ) ] .
Using (23) and (44) and introducing the denotation
ρ 5 i j = 1 2 ( ρ i | 1 j + ρ i | 2 j 2 ρ i ρ j + ρ p ρ p g i j ̲ ) = 1 2 ( ρ 1 i j + ρ 2 i j ) = ρ 5 j i ,
Equation (74) obtains the form
R ¯ 5 j m n i = R 5 j m n i + δ m i ρ 5 j n δ n i ρ 5 j m + ρ 5 m i g j n ̲ ρ 5 n i g j m ̲ + ρ p ρ p ( δ n i g j m ̲ δ m i g j m ̲ ) .
Let us apply a concircular transformation for the tensor R 5 j m n i . By virtue of (75), we put
ρ 5 i j = Φ 5 ( x ) g i j ̲ ( x ) = ρ 5 j i ,
into (76) and we get
R ¯ 5 j m n i = R 5 j m n i + 2 Φ 5 ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) ρ p ρ p ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) .
Contracting by i = n , we obtain
R ¯ 5 j m = R 5 j m + ( 1 N ) g j m ̲ ( 2 Φ 5 ρ p ρ p ) .
Multiplying this equation with ρ 2 g ¯ j m = g j m ̲ , it follows that
2 Φ 5 = ρ 2 R ¯ 5 R 5 ( 1 N ) N + ρ p ρ p
and substituting this value into (78), one gets that the following theorem is valid.
Theorem 6.
The tensor
Z 5 ˜ j m n i = R 5 j m n i + R 5 ( δ m i g j n ̲ δ n i g j m ̲ ) ( N 1 ) N
is an invariant in G R N with respect to an equitorsion concircular transformation, i.e., in force is
Z ˜ ¯ 5 j m n i = Z 5 ˜ j m n i .
The tensor Z ˜ 5 isan equitorsion concircular tensor of the 5th kind at G R N .
Remark 1.
In [19], is K 1 j m n i = R 1 j m n i , K 3 j m n i = R 3 j m i , while R θ j m i { K 2 j m n i , K 4 j m n i , K 5 j m n i } , θ = 2 , 4 , 5 . However, because of different procedures, it is Z ˜ θ j m n i { Z 1 j m n i , , Z 5 j m n i } , θ = 1 , , 5 , where Z θ j m n i are from [19]. Thus, Z ˜ θ j m n i arenew invariantsof the considered transformations.
Remark 2.
In the case of R N ( g i j = g j i , T j k i = 0 ) , each of the obtained tensors Z ˜ θ j m n i reduces to a known concircular tensor [2] Z j m n i = R j m n i + R ( δ m i g j n δ n i g j m ) ( N 1 ) N .
