Özet

Geometrical characterizations are given for the tensor R.S, where S is the Ricci tensor of a (semi-)Riemannian manifold (M, g) and R denotes the curvature operator acting on S as a derivation, and of the Ricci Tachibana tensor boolean AND(g).S, where the natural metrical operator boolean AND(g) also acts as a derivation on S. As a combination, the Ricci curvatures associated with directions on M, of which the isotropy determines that M is Einstein, are extended to the Ricci curvatures of Deszcz associated with directions and planes on M, and of which the isotropy determines that M is Ricci pseudo-symmetric in the sense of Deszcz.
