On a Semi-symmetric Metric Connection in an Almost Kenmotsu Manifold with Nullity Distributions

Gopal Ghosh, Uday Chand De (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

We consider a semisymmetric metric connection in an almost Kenmotsu manifold with its characteristic vector field ξ belonging to the ( k , μ ) ' -nullity distribution and ( k , μ ) -nullity distribution respectively. We first obtain the expressions of the curvature tensor and Ricci tensor with respect to the semisymmetric metric connection in an almost Kenmotsu manifold with ξ belonging to ( k , μ ) ' - and ( k , μ ) -nullity distribution respectively. Then we characterize an almost Kenmotsu manifold with ξ belonging to ( k , μ ) ' -nullity...

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 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,...

Singer-Thorpe bases for special Einstein curvature tensors in dimension 4

Zdeněk Dušek (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let ( M , g ) be a 4-dimensional Einstein Riemannian manifold. At each point p of M , the tangent space admits a so-called Singer-Thorpe basis (ST basis) with respect to the curvature tensor R at p . In this basis, up to standard symmetries and antisymmetries, just 5 components of the curvature tensor R are nonzero. For the space of constant curvature, the group O ( 4 ) acts as a transformation group between ST bases at T p M and for the so-called 2-stein curvature tensors, the group Sp ( 1 ) SO ( 4 ) acts as a transformation...

On Uniqueness Theoremsfor Ricci Tensor

Marina B. Khripunova, Sergey E. Stepanov, Irina I. Tsyganok, Josef Mikeš (2016)

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...

Complete Riemannian manifolds admitting a pair of Einstein-Weyl structures

Amalendu Ghosh (2016)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We prove that a connected Riemannian manifold admitting a pair of non-trivial Einstein-Weyl structures ( g , ± ω ) with constant scalar curvature is either Einstein, or the dual field of ω is Killing. Next, let ( M n , g ) be a complete and connected Riemannian manifold of dimension at least 3 admitting a pair of Einstein-Weyl structures ( g , ± ω ) . Then the Einstein-Weyl vector field E (dual to the 1 -form ω ) generates an infinitesimal harmonic transformation if and only if E is Killing.

Structure of second-order symmetric Lorentzian manifolds

Oihane F. Blanco, Miguel Sánchez, José M. Senovilla (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 - 𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑦𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝐿𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑧𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠 , that is to say, Lorentzian manifolds with vanishing second derivative R 0 of the curvature tensor R , are characterized by several geometric properties, and explicitly presented. Locally, they are a product M = M 1 × 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., R 0 at some point), the curvature...

Conformal harmonic forms, Branson–Gover operators and Dirichlet problem at infinity

Erwann Aubry, Colin Guillarmou (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

For odd-dimensional Poincaré–Einstein manifolds ( X n + 1 , g ) , we study the set of harmonic k -forms (for k < n / 2 ) which are C m (with m ) on the conformal compactification X ¯ of X . This set is infinite-dimensional for small m but it becomes finite-dimensional if m is large enough, and in one-to-one correspondence with the direct sum of the relative cohomology H k ( X ¯ , X ¯ ) and the kernel of the Branson–Gover [3] differential operators ( L k , G k ) on the conformal infinity ( X ¯ , [ h 0 ] ) . We also relate the set of C n - 2 k + 1 ( Λ k ( X ¯ ) ) forms in the kernel of d + δ g ...

The object of the present paper is to study η -Ricci solitons on η -Einstein ( L C S ) n -manifolds. It is shown that if ξ is a recurrent torse forming η -Ricci soliton on an η -Einstein ( L C S ) n -manifold then ξ is (i) concurrent and (ii) Killing vector field.

In this paper we solve the problem of finding integrals of equations determining the Killing tensors on an n -dimensional differentiable manifold M endowed with an equiaffine S L ( n , ) -structure and discuss possible applications of obtained results in Riemannian geometry.

Canonical contact forms on spherical CR manifolds

Wei Wang (2003)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We construct the CR invariant canonical contact form can ( J ) on scalar positive spherical CR manifold ( M , J ) , which is the CR analogue of canonical metric on locally conformally flat manifold constructed by Habermann and Jost. We also construct another canonical contact form on the Kleinian manifold Ω ( Γ ) / Γ , where Γ is a convex cocompact subgroup of Aut C R S 2 n + 1 = P U ( n + 1 , 1 ) and Ω ( Γ ) is the discontinuity domain of Γ . This contact form can be used to prove that Ω ( Γ ) / Γ is scalar positive (respectively, scalar negative, or scalar vanishing)...

The object of the present paper is to study a quarter-symmetric metric connection in an Lorentzian α -Sasakian manifold. We study some curvature properties of an Lorentzian α -Sasakian manifold with respect to the quarter-symmetric metric connection.

A Monge-Ampère equation in conformal geometry

Matthew J. Gursky (2008)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

We consider the Monge-Ampère-type equation det ( A + λ g ) = const . , where A is the Schouten tensor of a conformally related metric and λ &gt; 0 is a suitably chosen constant. When the scalar curvature is non-positive we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions. When the scalar curvature is positive and the first Betti number of the manifold is non-zero we also establish existence. Moreover, by adapting a construction of Schoen, we show that solutions are in general not unique. ...

Approximately Einstein ACH metrics, volume renormalization, and an invariant for contact manifolds

Neil Seshadri (2009)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

To any smooth compact manifold M endowed with a contact structure H and partially integrable almost CR structure J , we prove the existence and uniqueness, modulo high-order error terms and diffeomorphism action, of an approximately Einstein ACH (asymptotically complex hyperbolic) metric g on M × ( - 1 , 0 ) . We consider the asymptotic expansion, in powers of a special defining function, of the volume of M × ( - 1 , 0 ) with respect to g and prove that the log term coefficient is independent of J (and any choice...

Separation properties for self-conformal sets

Yuan-Ling Ye (2002)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

For a one-to-one self-conformal contractive system w j j = 1 m on d with attractor K and conformality dimension α, Peres et al. showed that the open set condition and strong open set condition are both equivalent to 0 < α ( K ) < . We give a simple proof of this result as well as discuss some further properties related to the separation condition.

Global pinching theorems for minimal submanifolds in spheres

Kairen Cai (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let M be a compact submanifold with parallel mean curvature vector embedded in the unit sphere S n + p ( 1 ) . By using the Sobolev inequalities of P. Li to get L p estimates for the norms of certain tensors related to the second fundamental form of M, we prove some rigidity theorems. Denote by H and | | σ | | p the mean curvature and the L p norm of the square length of the second fundamental form of M. We show that there is a constant C such that if | | σ | | n / 2 < C , then M is a minimal submanifold in the sphere S n + p - 1 ( 1 + H ² ) with sectional...

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...

The resolution of the bounded L 2 curvature conjecture in general relativity

Sergiu Klainerman, Igor Rodnianski, Jérémie Szeftel (2014-2015)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

Similarity:

This paper reports on the recent proof of the bounded L 2 curvature conjecture. More precisely we show that the time of existence of a classical solution to the Einstein-vacuum equations depends only on the L 2 -norm of the curvature and a lower bound of the volume radius of the corresponding initial data set.

A geometric problem and the Hopf Lemma. I

Yan Yan Li, Louis Nirenberg (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

A classical result of A. D. Alexandrov states that a connected compact smooth n -dimensional manifold without boundary, embedded in n + 1 , and such that its mean curvature is constant, is a sphere. Here we study the problem of symmetry of M in a hyperplane X n + 1 = const in case M satisfies: for any two points ( X ' , X n + 1 ) , ( X ' , X ^ n + 1 ) on M , with X n + 1 > X ^ n + 1 , the mean curvature at the first is not greater than that at the second. Symmetry need not always hold, but in this paper, we establish it under some additional condition for n = 1 ....

Two-dimensional curvature functionals with superquadratic growth

Ernst Kuwert, Tobias Lamm, Yuxiang Li (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

For two-dimensional, immersed closed surfaces f : Σ n , we study the curvature functionals p ( f ) and 𝒲 p ( f ) with integrands ( 1 + | A | 2 ) p / 2 and ( 1 + | H | 2 ) p / 2 , respectively. Here A is the second fundamental form, H is the mean curvature and we assume p > 2 . Our main result asserts that W 2 , p critical points are smooth in both cases. We also prove a compactness theorem for 𝒲 p -bounded sequences. In the case of p this is just Langer’s theorem [16], while for 𝒲 p we have to impose a bound for the Willmore energy strictly below 8 π as an additional...
