Rigidité du flot géodésique de certaines nilvariétés de rang deux
When is a real hyperbolic manifold, it is already known that if the critical exponent is small enough then some cohomology spaces and some spaces of harmonic forms vanish. In this paper, we show rigidity results in the borderline case of these vanishing results.
Any Kähler metric on the ball which is strongly asymptotic to complex hyperbolic space and whose scalar curvature is no less than the one of the complex hyperbolic space must be isometrically biholomorphic to it. This result has been known for some time in odd complex dimension and we provide here a proof in even dimension.
We discuss the rigidity of Einstein manifolds and generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds. We improve a pinching condition used in a theorem on the rigidity of compact Einstein manifolds. Under an additional condition, we confirm a conjecture on the rigidity of compact Einstein manifolds. In addition, we prove that every closed generalized quasi-Einstein manifold is an Einstein manifold provided μ = -1/(n-2), λ ≤ 0 and β ≤ 0.
