Conformally Flat Manifolds with Nonnegative Ricci Curvature
We show that complete conformally flat manifolds of dimension n > 3 with nonnegative Ricci curvature enjoy nice rigidity properties: they are either flat, or locally isometric to a product of a sphere and a line, or are globally conformally equivalent to R n or a spherical spaceform Sn/Γ. This extends previous results due to Q.-M. Cheng and B.-L. Chen and X.-P. Zhu. In this note, we study compl...
متن کاملHighly connected manifolds with positive Ricci curvature
We prove the existence of Sasakian metrics with positive Ricci curvature on certain highly connected odd dimensional manifolds. In particular, we show that manifolds homeomorphic to the 2k-fold connected sum of S × S admit Sasakian metrics with positive Ricci curvature for all k. Furthermore, a formula for computing the diffeomorphism types is given and tables are presented for dimensions 7 and...
متن کاملRicci flow and manifolds with positive curvature
This is an expository article based on the author’s lecture delivered at the conference Lie Theory and Its Applications in March 2011, UCSD. We discuss various notions of positivity and their relations with the study of the Ricci flow, including a proof of the assertion, due to Wolfson and the author, that the Ricci flow preserves the positivity of the complex sectional curvature. We discuss th...
متن کاملSelf-Dual Manifolds with Positive Ricci Curvature
We prove that the connected sums CP2#CP2 and CP2#CP2#CP2 admit self-dual metrics with positive Ricci curvature. Moreover, every self-dual metric of positive scalar curvature on CP2#CP2 is conformal to a metric with positive Ricci curvature. ∗Supported in part by NSF grant DMS-9204093
متن کاملPositive Ricci Curvature on Highly Connected Manifolds
For k ≥ 2, let M4k−1 be a closed (2k−2)-connected manifold. If k ≡ 1 mod 4 assume further that M is (2k−1)-parallelisable. Then there is a homotopy sphere Σ4k−1 such that M]Σ admits a Ricci positive metric. This follows from a new description of these manifolds as the boundaries of explicit plumbings.
