On Uniqueness Theoremsfor Ricci Tensor

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

In Riemannian geometry the prescribed Ricci curvature problem is as follows: given a smooth manifold $M$ and a symmetric 2-tensor $r$ , construct a metric on $M$ whose Ricci tensor equals $r$ . In particular, DeTurck and Koiso proved the following celebrated result: the Ricci curvature uniquely determines the Levi-Civita connection on any compact Einstein manifold with non-negative section curvature. In the present paper we generalize the result of DeTurck and Koiso for a Riemannian manifold with...

The systolic constant of orientable Bieberbach 3-manifolds

Chady El Mir, Jacques Lafontaine (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

A compact manifold is called if it carries a flat Riemannian metric. Bieberbach manifolds are aspherical, therefore the supremum of their systolic ratio, over the set of Riemannian metrics, is finite by a fundamental result of M. Gromov. We study the optimal systolic ratio of compact $3$ -dimensional orientable Bieberbach manifolds which are not tori, and prove that it cannot be realized by a flat metric. We also highlight a metric that we construct on one type of such manifolds ( $C_{2}$ ) which...

A strong maximum principle for the Paneitz operator and a non-local flow for the $Q$ -curvature

Matthew J. Gursky, Andrea Malchiodi (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

In this paper we consider Riemannian manifolds $(M^{n}, g)$ of dimension $n \geq 5$ , with semi-positive $Q$ -curvature and non-negative scalar curvature. Under these assumptions we prove (i) the Paneitz operator satisfies a strong maximum principle; (ii) the Paneitz operator is a positive operator; and (iii) its Green’s function is strictly positive. We then introduce a non-local flow whose stationary points are metrics of constant positive $Q$ -curvature. Modifying the test function construction of Esposito-Robert,...

Conformal Ricci Soliton in Lorentzian $α$ -Sasakian Manifolds

Tamalika Dutta, Nirabhra Basu, Arindam BHATTACHARYYA (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper we have studied conformal curvature tensor, conharmonic curvature tensor, projective curvature tensor in Lorentzian $α$ -Sasakian manifolds admitting conformal Ricci soliton. We have found that a Weyl conformally semi symmetric Lorentzian $α$ -Sasakian manifold admitting conformal Ricci soliton is $η$ -Einstein manifold. We have also studied conharmonically Ricci symmetric Lorentzian $α$ -Sasakian manifold admitting conformal Ricci soliton. Similarly we have proved that a Lorentzian...

Local gradient estimates of $p$ -harmonic functions, $1 / H$ -flow, and an entropy formula

Brett Kotschwar, Lei Ni (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

In the first part of this paper, we prove local interior and boundary gradient estimates for $p$ -harmonic functions on general Riemannian manifolds. With these estimates, following the strategy in recent work of R. Moser, we prove an existence theorem for weak solutions to the level set formulation of the $1 / H$ (inverse mean curvature) flow for hypersurfaces in ambient manifolds satisfying a sharp volume growth assumption. In the second part of this paper, we consider two parabolic analogues...

Holonomy groups of complete flat manifolds

Michał Sadowski (2007)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We present short direct proofs of two known properties of complete flat manifolds. They say that the diffeomorphism classes of m-dimensional complete flat manifolds form a finite set $S_{C F} (m)$ and that each element of $S_{C F} (m)$ is represented by a manifold with finite holonomy group.

Riemannian semisymmetric almost Kenmotsu manifolds and nullity distributions

Yaning Wang, Ximin Liu (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We consider an almost Kenmotsu manifold $M^{2 n + 1}$ with the characteristic vector field ξ belonging to the (k,μ)’-nullity distribution and h’ ≠ 0 and we prove that $M^{2 n + 1}$ is locally isometric to the Riemannian product of an (n+1)-dimensional manifold of constant sectional curvature -4 and a flat n-dimensional manifold, provided that $M^{2 n + 1}$ is ξ-Riemannian-semisymmetric. Moreover, if $M^{2 n + 1}$ is a ξ-Riemannian-semisymmetric almost Kenmotsu manifold such that ξ belongs to the (k,μ)-nullity distribution, we prove...

Structure of second-order symmetric Lorentzian manifolds

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

$𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 - 𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑦𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝐿𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑧𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠$ , that is to say, Lorentzian manifolds with vanishing second derivative $\nabla \nabla R \equiv 0$ of the curvature tensor $R$ , are characterized by several geometric properties, and explicitly presented. Locally, they are a product $M = M_{1} \times M_{2}$ where each factor is uniquely determined as follows: $M_{2}$ is a Riemannian symmetric space and $M_{1}$ is either a constant-curvature Lorentzian space or a definite type of plane wave generalizing the Cahen–Wallach family. In the proper case (i.e., $\nabla R \neq 0$ at some point), the curvature...

Projective Curvature Tensorin 3-dimensional Connected Trans-Sasakian Manifolds

Krishnendu De, Uday Chand De (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

The object of the present paper is to study $ξ$ -projectively flat and $φ$ -projectively flat 3-dimensional connected trans-Sasakian manifolds. Also we study the geometric properties of connected trans-Sasakian manifolds when it is projectively semi-symmetric. Finally, we give some examples of a 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold which verifies our result.

On solutions of a fourth-order Lidstone boundary value problem at resonance

Mariusz Jurkiewicz (2009)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We consider a Lidstone boundary value problem in $ℝ^{k}$ at resonance. We prove the existence of a solution under the assumption that the nonlinear part is a Carathéodory map and conditions similar to those of Landesman-Lazer are satisfied.

The ℤ₂-cohomology cup-length of real flag manifolds

Július Korbaš, Juraj Lörinc (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Using fiberings, we determine the cup-length and the Lyusternik-Shnirel’man category for some infinite families of real flag manifolds $O (n ₁ + . . . + n_{q}) / O (n ₁) \times . . . \times O (n_{q})$ , q ≥ 3. We also give, or describe ways to obtain, interesting estimates for the cup-length of any $O (n ₁ + . . . + n_{q}) / O (n ₁) \times . . . \times O (n_{q})$ , q ≥ 3. To present another approach (combining well with the “method of fiberings”), we generalize to the real flag manifolds Stong’s approach used for calculations in the ℤ₂-cohomology algebra of the Grassmann manifolds.

Tangency properties of sets with finite geometric curvature energies

Sebastian Scholtes (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate tangential regularity properties of sets of fractal dimension, whose inverse thickness or integral Menger curvature energies are bounded. For the most prominent of these energies, the integral Menger curvature $ℳ_{p}^{α} (X) : = \int_{X} \int_{X} \int_{X} κ^{p} (x, y, z) d_{X}^{α} (x) d_{X}^{α} (y) d_{X}^{α} (z)$ , where κ(x,y,z) is the inverse circumradius of the triangle defined by x,y and z, we find that $ℳ_{p}^{α} (X) < \infty$ for p ≥ 3α implies the existence of a weak approximate α-tangent at every point of the set, if some mild density properties hold. This includes the scale invariant...

Gradient estimates of Li Yau type for a general heat equation on Riemannian manifolds

Nguyen Ngoc Khanh (2016)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

In this paper, we consider gradient estimates on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds $(M, g)$ for the following general heat equation $u_{t} = Δ_{V} u + a u log u + b u$ where $a$ is a constant and $b$ is a differentiable function defined on $M \times [0, \infty)$ . We suppose that the Bakry-Émery curvature and the $N$ -dimensional Bakry-Émery curvature are bounded from below, respectively. Then we obtain the gradient estimate of Li-Yau type for the above general heat equation. Our results generalize the work of Huang-Ma ([4]) and Y. Li ([6]), recently. ...
