Geometric Inequalities on Locally Conformally Flat Manifolds

In this paper, we are interested in certain global geometric quantities associated to the Schouten tensor and their relationship in conformal geometry. For an oriented compact Riemannian manifold (M,g) of dimension n > 2, there is a sequence of geometric functionals arising naturally in conformal geometry, which were introduced by Viaclovsky in [29] as curvature integrals of Schouten tensor. If...

Locally conformal flat Riemannian manifolds with constant principal Ricci curvatures and locally conformal flat C-spaces

It is proved that every locally conformal flat Riemannian manifold all of whose Jacobi operators have constant eigenvalues along every geodesic is with constant principal Ricci curvatures. A local classification (up to an isometry) of locally conformal flat Riemannian manifold with constant Ricci eigenvalues is given in dimensions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. It is shown that any n-dimensional (4 ≤ n ≤ 8)...

Locally unknotted spines of Heegaard splittings

We show that under reasonable conditions, the spines of the handlebodies of a strongly irreducible Heegaard splitting will intersect a closed ball in a graph which is isotopic into the boundary of the ball. This is in some sense a generalization of the results by Scharlemann on how a strongly irreducible Heegaard splitting surface can intersect a ball. AMS Classification 57M27; 57Q10

BOUNDARIES OF LOCALLY CONFORMALLY FLAT MANIFOLDS IN DIMENSIONS 4k

We give global restrictions on the possible boundaries of compact, orientable, locally conformally flat manifolds of dimension 4k in terms of integrality of eta invariants.
