<p>When can the curvature operator of a Riemannian manifold (M,g) be diagonalized by a basis of the following form</p> <p>'{${E_i\wedge E_j }$}' where '{${E_i}$}' is an orthonormal basis of the tangent space? If the manifold is three dimensional then it is always possible. But what about higher dimensional cases?</p>

<p>The Cayley projective plane can be realized as the homogeneous space $F_4/Spin(9)$. In this way one can compute the curvature of this symmetric space in terms of a suitable orthonormal basis and the Lie brackets of the basic vectors. But is there any elegant expression for the curvature of $CaP^2$ which is independent of this homogeneous description due to the fact that $CaP^2$ is a rank one symmetric space?</p>

<p>What are the examples of Riemannian manifolds that have zero scalar curvature but non zero ricci curvature? Is there any sort of classification of such manifolds?</p>

Thanks.This result seems to be really useful.
