Abstract:
On a 4-manifold of conformal torsion-free connection with zero signature (−−++) we found conditions under which the conformal curvature matrix is dual (self-dual or anti-self-dual). These conditions are 5 partial differential equations of the 2nd order on 10 coefficients of the angular metric and 4 partial differential equations of the 1st order, containing also 3 coefficients of external 2-form of charge. (External 2-form of charge is one of the components of the conformal curvature matrix.) Duality equations for a metric of a diagonal type are composed. They form a system of five second-order differential equations on three unknown functions of all four variables. We found several series of solutions for this system. In particular, we obtained all solutions for a logarithmically polynomial diagonal metric, that is, for a metric whose coefficients are exponents of polynomials of four variables.
