Scalar Curvature, Killing Vector Fields and Harmonic One-forms on Compact Riemannian Manifolds
It is well known that no non-trivial Killing vector field exists on a compact Riemannian manifold of negative Ricci curvature; analogously, no non-trivial harmonic one-form exists on a compact manifold of positive Ricci curvature. One can consider the following, more general, problem. By reducing the assumption on the Ricci curvature to one on the scalar curvature, such vanishing theorems canno...
متن کاملCohomogeneity One Einstein-sasaki 5-manifolds
We consider hypersurfaces in Einstein-Sasaki 5-manifolds which are tangent to the characteristic vector field. We introduce evolution equations that can be used to reconstruct the 5-dimensional metric from such a hypersurface, analogous to the (nearly) hypo and half-flat evolution equations in higher dimensions. We use these equations to classify Einstein-Sasaki 5-manifolds of cohomogeneity one...
متن کاملNon-negatively Curved Cohomogeneity One Manifolds
Non-negatively Curved Cohomogeneity One Manifolds Chenxu He Prof. Wolfgang Ziller, Advisor A Riemannian manifold M is called cohomogeneity one if it admits an isometric action by a compact Lie group G and the orbit space is one dimension. Many new examples of non-negatively curved manifolds were discovered recently in this category. However not every cohomogeneity one manifold carries an invari...
متن کاملKilling-Poisson tensors on Riemannian manifolds
We introduce a new class of Poisson structures on a Riemannian manifold. A Poisson structure in this class will be called a Killing-Poisson structure. The class of Killing-Poisson structures contains the class of symplectic structures, the class of Poisson structures studied in (Differential Geometry and its Applications, Vol. 20, Issue 3 (2004), 279–291) and the class of Poisson structures ind...
متن کاملIncompressible Fields in Riemannian Manifolds
Incompressible fields are of special importance in elec-trodynamics, fluid mechanics, and quantum mechanics. We shall derive a few expressions for such fields in a Riemannian manifold, and show how to generate an incompressible field from an arbitrary set of scalar differentiable functions. The concept of compressibility removing factors of an arbitrary vector field is introduced and utilized t...
