Keywords:
algebraic curvature tensors; affine curvature tensors
algebraic curvature tensors; affine curvature tensors
Summary:
We use curvature decompositions to construct generating sets for the space of algebraic curvature tensors and for the space of tensors with the same symmetries as those of a torsion free, Ricci symmetric connection; the latter naturally appear in relative hypersurface theory.
