Abstract
We explicitly derive the Christoffel symbols in terms of adapted frame fields for the Levi-Civita connection of a Lorentzian n-manifold (M, g), equipped with a prescribed optical geometry of Kaehler-Sasaki type. The formulas found in this paper have several important applications, such as determining the geometric invariants of Lorentzian manifolds with prescribed optical geometries or solving curvature constraints.File in questo prodotto:
