A REMARK CONCERNING UNIVERSAL CURVATURE IDENTITIES ON 4-DIMENSIONAL RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS

Abstract

We shall prove the universality of the curvature identity for the 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold using a different method than that used by Gilkey, Park, and Sekigawa [5].

Keywords

• generalized Gauss-Bonnet formula;
• 4-dimensional curvature identity
