Abstract

We consider Riemannian n-manifolds M with nontrivial kappa-nullity "distribution" of the curvature tensor R, namely, the variable rank distribution of tangent subspaces to M where R coincides with the curvature tensor of a space of constant curvature kappa (kappa is an element of R) is nontrivial. We obtain classification theorems under diferent additional assumptions, in terms of low nullity/conullity, controlled scalar curvature or existence of quotients of finite volume. We prove new results, but also revisit previous ones. (AU)
