examples

edit

When there is time I will complete the set of examples

1. parallel tensors
2. parallel vector fields
3. recurrent vector fields on semiriemannian manifolds
4. metric space   recurrent conformal metric   weyl structure
5. recurrent curvature tensor   recurrent space-time
6. recurrent vectorfields are some generalisazion of pp-waves and appear in different context in general relativity

meaning of recurrent

edit
  • Does anybody know, why these tensors are originally called recurrent? (have not read the full article by Walker yet)
  • In what sense is it recurring?
