Refined Kato inequalities in riemannian geometry

Marc Herzlich (2000)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

We describe the recent joint work of the author with David M. J. Calderbank and Paul Gauduchon on refined Kato inequalities for sections of vector bundles living in the kernel of natural first-order elliptic operators.

Resolvent Flows for Convex Functionals and p-Harmonic Maps

Kazuhiro Kuwae (2015)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

We prove the unique existence of the (non-linear) resolvent associated to a coercive proper lower semicontinuous function satisfying a weak notion of p-uniform λ-convexity on a complete metric space, and establish the existence of the minimizer of such functions as the large time limit of the resolvents, which generalizing pioneering work by Jost for convex functionals on complete CAT(0)-spaces. The results can be applied to Lp-Wasserstein space over complete p-uniformly convex spaces. As an application,...

Ricci flow coupled with harmonic map flow

Reto Müller (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We investigate a coupled system of the Ricci flow on a closed manifold M with the harmonic map flow of a map φ from M to some closed target manifold N , t g = - 2 Rc + 2 α φ φ , t φ = τ g φ , where α is a (possibly time-dependent) positive coupling constant. Surprisingly, the coupled system may be less singular than the Ricci flow or the harmonic map flow alone. In particular, we can always rule out energy concentration of  φ a-priori by choosing α large enough. Moreover, it suffices to bound the curvature of  ( M , g ( t ) ) to also obtain control of ...

Rigidity and L 2 cohomology of hyperbolic manifolds

Gilles Carron (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

When X = Γ n is a real hyperbolic manifold, it is already known that if the critical exponent is small enough then some cohomology spaces and some spaces of L 2 harmonic forms vanish. In this paper, we show rigidity results in the borderline case of these vanishing results.

Rigidity of Einstein manifolds and generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds

Yi Hua Deng, Li Ping Luo, Li Jun Zhou (2015)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We discuss the rigidity of Einstein manifolds and generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds. We improve a pinching condition used in a theorem on the rigidity of compact Einstein manifolds. Under an additional condition, we confirm a conjecture on the rigidity of compact Einstein manifolds. In addition, we prove that every closed generalized quasi-Einstein manifold is an Einstein manifold provided μ = -1/(n-2), λ ≤ 0 and β ≤ 0.

Rigidity of noncompact manifolds with cyclic parallel Ricci curvature

Yi Hua Deng (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We prove that if M is a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold whose Ricci tensor is cyclic parallel and whose scalar curvature is nonpositive, then M is Einstein, provided the Sobolev constant is positive and an integral inequality is satisfied.
