The evolution of the scalar curvature of a surface to a prescribed function

Paul Baird, Ali Fardoun, Rachid Regbaoui (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We investigate the gradient flow associated to the prescribed scalar curvature problem on compact riemannian surfaces. We prove the global existence and the convergence at infinity of this flow under sufficient conditions on the prescribed function, which we suppose just continuous. In particular, this gives a uniform approach to solve the prescribed scalar curvature problem for general compact surfaces.

The Evolution of the Weyl Tensor under the Ricci Flow

Giovanni Catino, Carlo Mantegazza (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We compute the evolution equation of the Weyl tensor under the Ricci flow of a Riemannian manifold and we discuss some consequences for the classification of locally conformally flat Ricci solitons.

The Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket on some functional spaces

Ivan Kolář, Marco Modungo (1998)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Two fiber bundles E₁ and E₂ over the same base space M yield the fibered set ℱ(E₁,E₂) → M, whose fibers are defined as C ( E , E ) , for each x ∈ M. This fibered set can be regarded as a smooth space in the sense of Frölicher and we construct its tangent prolongation. Then we extend the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket to projectable tangent valued forms on ℱ(E₁,E₂). These forms turn out to be a kind of differential operators. In particular, we consider a general connection on ℱ(E₁,E₂) and study the associated...
