On some type of curvature conditions

In this paper we present a review of recent results on semi-Riemannian manifolds satisfying curvature conditions of pseudosymmetry type.

On the asymptotic geometry of gravitational instantons

Vincent Minerbe (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We investigate the geometry at infinity of the so-called “gravitational instantons”, i.e. asymptotically flat hyperkähler four-manifolds, in relation with their volume growth. In particular, we prove that gravitational instantons with cubic volume growth are ALF, namely asymptotic to a circle fibration over a Euclidean three-space, with fibers of asymptotically constant length.

Prescribing Gauss curvature of surfaces in 3-dimensional spacetimes Application to the Minkowski problem in the Minkowski space

Thierry Barbot, François Béguin, Abdelghani Zeghib (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the existence of surfaces with constant or prescribed Gauss curvature in certain Lorentzian spacetimes. We prove in particular that every (non-elementary) 3-dimensional maximal globally hyperbolic spatially compact spacetime with constant non-negative curvature is foliated by compact spacelike surfaces with constant Gauss curvature. In the constant negative curvature case, such a foliation exists outside the convex core. The existence of these foliations, together with a theorem of C. Gerhardt,...
