Invariants of complex structures on nilmanifolds

Edwin Alejandro Rodríguez Valencia (2015)

Archivum Mathematicum

Let ( N , J ) be a simply connected 2 n -dimensional nilpotent Lie group endowed with an invariant complex structure. We define a left invariant Riemannian metric on N compatible with J to be minimal, if it minimizes the norm of the invariant part of the Ricci tensor among all compatible metrics with the same scalar curvature. In [7], J. Lauret proved that minimal metrics (if any) are unique up to isometry and scaling. This uniqueness allows us to distinguish two complex structures with Riemannian data, giving...

Invertible Carnot Groups

David M. Freeman (2014)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

We characterize Carnot groups admitting a 1-quasiconformal metric inversion as the Lie groups of Heisenberg type whose Lie algebras satisfy the J2-condition, thus characterizing a special case of inversion invariant bi-Lipschitz homogeneity. A more general characterization of inversion invariant bi-Lipschitz homogeneity for certain non-fractal metric spaces is also provided.

Isospectral deformations of closed riemannian manifolds with different scalar curvature

Carolyn S. Gordon, Ruth Gornet, Dorothee Schueth, David L. Webb, Edward N. Wilson (1998)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We construct the first examples of continuous families of isospectral Riemannian metrics that are not locally isometric on closed manifolds , more precisely, on S n × T m , where T m is a torus of dimension m 2 and S n is a sphere of dimension n 4 . These metrics are not locally homogeneous; in particular, the scalar curvature of each metric is nonconstant. For some of the deformations, the maximum scalar curvature changes during the deformation.
