Bochner's technique in Einstein's non-symmetric geometry
Abstract
A. Einstein considered a manifold with a non-symmetric (0,2)-tensor G=g+F, where g is a Riemannian metric and F0, and a connection ∇ with torsion T such that (∇X G)(Y,Z)=-G(T(X,Y),Z). Guided by the almost Lie algebroid construction on a vector bundle, we define the basic concepts of Bochner's technique for Einstein's non-symmetric geometry, give a clear example of the Einstein's connection ∇, prove Weitzenb\"ock type decomposition formula and obtain vanishing results about the null space of the Bochner and Hodge type Laplacians.
