Curvature flows on surfaces

Michael Struwe (2002)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Prompted by recent work of Xiuxiong Chen, a unified approach to the Hamilton-Ricci and Calabi flows on a closed, compact surface is presented, recovering global existence and exponentially fast asymptotic convergence from concentration-compactness results for conformal metrics.

Curvature functionals for curves in the equi-affine plane

Steven Verpoort (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

After having given the general variational formula for the functionals indicated in the title, the critical points of the integral of the equi-affine curvature under area constraint and the critical points of the full-affine arc-length are studied in greater detail. Notice. An extended version of this article is available on arXiv:0912.4075.

Curvature homogeneity of affine connections on two-dimensional manifolds

Oldřich Kowalski, Barbara Opozda, Zdeněk Vlášek (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Curvature homogeneity of (torsion-free) affine connections on manifolds is an adaptation of a concept introduced by I. M. Singer. We analyze completely the relationship between curvature homogeneity of higher order and local homogeneity on two-dimensional manifolds.

Curvature homogeneous spaces whose curvature tensors have large symmetries

Kazumi Tsukada (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We study curvature homogeneous spaces or locally homogeneous spaces whose curvature tensors are invariant by the action of “large" Lie subalgebras 𝔥 of 𝔰𝔬 ( n ) . In this paper we deal with the cases of 𝔥 = 𝔰𝔬 ( r ) 𝔰𝔬 ( n - r ) ( 2 r ...

Curvature of hyperkähler quotients

Roger Bielawski (2008)

Open Mathematics

We prove estimates for the sectional curvature of hyperkähler quotients and give applications to moduli spaces of solutions to Nahm’s equations and Hitchin’s equations.
