Sphere Theorem for Manifolds with Positive Curvature
In this paper, we prove that, for any integer n ≥ 2, there exists an ǫn ≥ 0 so that if M is an n-dimensional complete manifold with sectional curvature KM ≥ 1 and if M has conjugate radius bigger than π 2 and contains a geodesic loop of length 2(π − ǫn), then M is diffeomorphic to the Euclidian unit sphere S.
متن کاملRiemannian Manifolds with Positive Sectional Curvature
It is fair to say that Riemannian geometry started with Gauss’s famous ”Disquisitiones generales” from 1827 in which one finds a rigorous discussion of what we now call the Gauss curvature of a surface. Much has been written about the importance and influence of this paper, see in particular the article [Do] by P.Dombrowski for a careful discussion of its contents and influence during that time...
متن کاملCompact Riemannian Manifolds with Positive Curvature Operators
M is said to have positive curvature operators if the eigenvalues of Z are positive at each point p € M. Meyer used the theory of harmonic forms to prove that a compact oriented n-dimensional Riemannian manifold with positive curvature operators must have the real homology of an n-dimensional sphere [GM, Proposition 2.9]. Using the theory of minimal two-spheres, we will outline a proof of the f...
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...
