The purpose of this paper is to give a necessary and sufficient condition for a smooth manifold to admit a Lorentzian metric. As an application of this result, on Lorentzian manifolds we have shown that the existence of a 1-dimensional distribution is equivalent to the existence of a non-vanishing vector field.

Lower dimensional cases of Einstein's connection were already investigated by many authors for n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. In the following series of two papers, we present a surveyable tensorial representation of 8-dimensional Einstein's connection in terms of the unified field tensor: I. The recurrence relations in 8-g-UFT II. The Einstein 's connection in 8-g-UFT In our previous paper [1], we investigated some algebraic structure in Einstein's 8-dimensional unified field theory (i.e., 8-g-UFT), with emphasis on the derivation of the recurrence relations of the third kind which hold in 8-g-UFT. This paper is a direct continuation of [1]. The purpose of the present paper is to prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a unique Einstein's connection to exist in 8-g-UFT and to display a surveyable tensorial representation of 8-dimensional Einstein's connection in terms of the unified field tensor, employing the powerful recurrence relations of the third kind obtained in the first paper [1]. All considerations in this paper are restricted to the first class only of the generalized 8-dimensional Riemannian manifold $X_8$, since the cases of the second class are done in [2], [3] and the case of the third class, the simplest case, was already studied by many authors.

An n-dimensional ME-manifold ME $X_{n}$ is a general-ized Riemannian manifold connected by the ME-connection which is both Einstein and of the form (2.13). The purpose of this paper is to study the properties of the ME-curvature tensors, the con-tracted ME-curvature tensors and the field equations in ME $X_{n}$)n)

We view Weyl structures as generalizations of Riemannian metrics and study the critical points of geometric functional which involve scalar curvature, defined on the space of Weyl structures on a closed 4-manifold. The main goal here is to provide a framework to analyze critical Weyl structures by defining functionals, discussing function spaces and writing down basic formulas for the equations of critical points.

We define the Mannheim curve in a 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold, which is a generalization of the Mannheim curve in Euclidean space. In particular, we study the Mannheim curves and their partner curves in 3-dimensional space forms.

Let (M = B$\times$f F, g) be an ($n \geq3$ )-dimensional differential manifold with Riemannian metric g. We solve the following elliptic nonlinear partial differential equation (equation omitted). where $\Delta_{g}$ is the Laplacian in the $\Delta$g-metric and ($h(\chi)$) is the scalar curvature of g and ($H(\chi)$) is a function on M.

Chung and et al. ([2].1991) introduced a new concept of a manifold, denoted by $^{\ast}g-SEX_n$, in Einstein's n-dimensional $^{\ast}g$-unified field theory. The manifold $^{\ast}g-SEX_n$ is a generalized n-dimensional Riemannian manifold on which the differential geometric structure is imposed by the unified field tensor $^{\ast}g^{\lambda \nu}$ through the SE-connection which is both Einstein and semi-symmetric. In this paper, they proved a necessary and sufficient condition for the unique existence of SE-connection and sufficient condition for the unique existence of SE-connection and presented a beautiful and surveyable tensorial representation of the SE-connection in terms of the tensor $^{\ast}g^{\lambda \nu}$. Recently, Chung and et al.([3],1998) obtained a concise tensorial representation of SE-curvature tensor defined by the SE-connection of $^{\ast}g-SEX_n$ and proved deveral identities involving it. This paper is a direct continuations of [3]. In this paper we derive surveyable tensorial representations of constracted curvature tensors of $^{\ast}g-SEX_n$ and prove several generalized identities involving them. In particular, the first variation of the generalized Bianchi's identity in $^{\ast}g-SEX_n$, proved in theorem (2.10a), has a great deal of useful physical applications.
