A new curvature invariant and entropy of geodesic flow.
In this paper, we give a new variational characterization of certain 4-manifolds. More precisely, let and denote the scalar curvature and Ricci curvature respectively of a Riemannian metric, we prove that if is compact and locally conformally flat and is the critical point of the functional where
We construct a non-homogeneous contact projective structure which is symmetric from the point of view of parabolic geometries.
We consider the Einstein deformations of the reducible rank two symmetric spaces of noncompact type. If is the product of any two real, complex, quaternionic or octonionic hyperbolic spaces, we prove that the family of nearby Einstein metrics is parametrized by certain new geometric structures on the Furstenberg boundary of .
