Dirac and Plateau billiards in domains with corners

Misha Gromov (2014)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

Groping our way toward a theory of singular spaces with positive scalar curvatures we look at the Dirac operator and a generalized Plateau problem in Riemannian manifolds with corners. Using these, we prove that the set of C 2-smooth Riemannian metrics g on a smooth manifold X, such that scalg(x) ≥ κ(x), is closed under C 0-limits of Riemannian metrics for all continuous functions κ on X. Apart from that our progress is limited but we formulate many conjectures. All along, we emphasize...

Riemannian manifolds in which certain curvature operator has constant eigenvalues along each helix

Yana Alexieva, Stefan Ivanov (1999)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

Riemannian manifolds for which a natural skew-symmetric curvature operator has constant eigenvalues on helices are studied. A local classification in dimension three is given. In the three dimensional case one gets all locally symmetric spaces and all Riemannian manifolds with the constant principal Ricci curvatures r 1 = r 2 = 0 , r 3 0 , which are not locally homogeneous, in general.
