The Evolution of the Weyl Tensor under the Ricci Flow

Giovanni Catino, Carlo Mantegazza (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We compute the evolution equation of the Weyl tensor under the Ricci flow of a Riemannian manifold and we discuss some consequences for the classification of locally conformally flat Ricci solitons.

Curvature cones and the Ricci flow.

Thomas Richard (2012-2014)

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

Similarity:

This survey reviews some facts about nonnegativity conditions on the curvature tensor of a Riemannian manifold which are preserved by the action of the Ricci flow. The text focuses on two main points. First we describe the known examples of preserved curvature conditions and how they have been used to derive geometric results, in particular sphere theorems. We then describe some recent results which give restrictions on general preserved conditions. ...

Extended Derdziński-Shen theorem for curvature tensors

Carlo Alberto Mantica, Luca Guido Molinari (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

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.

How to produce a Ricci flow via Cheeger–Gromoll exhaustion

Esther Cabezas-Rivas, Burkhard Wilking (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We prove short time existence for the Ricci flow on open manifolds of non-negative complex sectional curvature without requiring upper curvature bounds. By considering the doubling of convex sets contained in a Cheeger–Gromoll convex exhaustion and solving the singular initial value problem for the Ricci flow on these closed manifolds, we obtain a sequence of closed solutions of the Ricci flow with non-negative complex sectional curvature which subconverge to a Ricci flow on the open...

On semi-Riemannian manifolds satisfying some conformally invariant curvature condition

Ryszard Deszcz, Małgorzata Głogowska, Hideko Hashiguchi, Marian Hotloś, Makoto Yawata (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate semi-Riemannian manifolds with pseudosymmetric Weyl curvature tensor satisfying some additional condition imposed on their curvature tensor. Among other things we prove that the so-called Roter type equation holds on such manifolds. We present applications of our results to hypersurfaces in semi-Riemannian space forms, as well as to 4-dimensional warped products.
