Conformal and Geodesic Mappings onto Some Special Spaces

In this paper, we consider conformal mappings of Riemannian spaces onto Ricci-2-symmetric Riemannian spaces and geodesic mappings of spaces with affine connections onto Ricci-2-symmetric spaces. The main equations for the mappings are obtained as a closed system of Cauchy-type differential equations in covariant derivatives. We find the number of essential parameters which the solution of the system depends on. A similar approach was applied for the case of conformal mappings of Riemannian spaces onto Ricci-m-symmetric Riemannian spaces, as well as geodesic mappings of spaces with affine connections onto Ricci-m-symmetric spaces.
