Unit tangent sphere bundles with constant scalar curvature

Eric Boeckx, Lieven Vanhecke (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

As a first step in the search for curvature homogeneous unit tangent sphere bundles we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a manifold to have a unit tangent sphere bundle with constant scalar curvature. We give complete classifications for low dimensions and for conformally flat manifolds. Further, we determine when the unit tangent sphere bundle is Einstein or Ricci-parallel.

Almost-Einstein manifolds with nonnegative isotropic curvature

Similarity:

Let ( M , g ) , n ≥ 4 , be a compact simply-connected Riemannian n -manifold with nonnegative isotropic curvature. Given 0 < l ≤ L , we prove that there exists ε = ε ( l , L , n ) satisfying the following: If the scalar curvature s of g satisfies l ≤ s ≤ L and the Einstein tensor satisfies Ric - s n g ≤ ε then M is diffeomorphic to a symmetric space of compact type. This is related to the result of S. Brendle on the metric rigidity of Einstein manifolds with nonnegative isotropic curvature. ...

Isotropic curvature: A survey

Harish Seshadri (2007-2008)

Similarity:

We discuss the notion of isotropic curvature of a Riemannian manifold and relations between the sign of this curvature and the geometry and topology of the manifold.
