Extended Derdziński-Shen theorem for curvature tensors

Carlo Alberto Mantica, Luca Guido Molinari (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We extend a remarkable theorem of Derdziński and Shen, on the restrictions imposed on the Riemann tensor by the existence of a nontrivial Codazzi tensor. We show that the Codazzi equation can be replaced by a more general algebraic condition. The resulting extension applies both to the Riemann tensor and to generalized curvature tensors.

Extension de métriques riemanniennes et type de croissance

Renata Grimaldi, Ignazia Maniscalco (1998)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Let M be a noncompact differentiable manifold and V an open proper submanifold endowed with a complete Riemannian metric g . We prove that g can be extended all over M to a complete Riemannian metric G having the same growth-type as g .

Exterior differential systems, Lie algebra cohomology, and the rigidity of homogenous varieties

Joseph M. Landsberg (2008)

Archivum Mathematicum

These are expository notes from the 2008 Srní Winter School. They have two purposes: (1) to give a quick introduction to exterior differential systems (EDS), which is a collection of techniques for determining local existence to systems of partial differential equations, and (2) to give an exposition of recent work (joint with C. Robles) on the study of the Fubini-Griffiths-Harris rigidity of rational homogeneous varieties, which also involves an advance in the EDS technology.

Extremal domains for the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator

Frank Pacard, Pieralberto Sicbaldi (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove the existence of extremal domains with small prescribed volume for the first eigenvalue of Laplace-Beltrami operator in some Riemannian manifold. These domains are close to geodesic spheres of small radius centered at a nondegenerate critical point of the scalar curvature.
