Description

This work is an extension of Dragon's theorems to higher dimensional space-time. It is shown that the first set of Bianchi identities allow us to express the curvature components in terms of torsion components and its covariant derivatives. It is also shown that the second set of Bianchi identities does not give any new information which is not already contained in the first one. (Author)

Abstract (Portuguese)

Este trabalho e uma extensao dos teoremas de Dragon para espaco-tempo dimensionais mais altos. Mostra-se que o primeiro conjunto das identidades ddas identidades de Bianchi permite expressar as componentes de curvatura em termos das componentes de torsao e suas derivadas covariantes. Mostra-se tambem que o segundo conjunto de identidades de Bianchi nao da qualquer nova informacao que ja nao esteja contida no primeiro conjunto. (L.C.)
