On the geometry of asymptotically flat manifolds

چکیده

In this paper, we investigate the geometry of asymptotically flat manifolds with controlled holonomy. We show that any end such manifold admits a torus fibration over an ALE end. addition, prove Hitchin-Thorpe inequality for oriented Ricci-flat $4$-manifolds curvature decay and As application, complete metric on $4$-manifold which is homeomorphic to $\mathbb R^4$ must be isometric Euclidean or Taub-NUT metric, provided tangent cone at infinity not R \times \mathbb R_+$.

Curvature Estimates in Asymptotically Flat Lorentzian Manifolds

We consider an asymptotically flat Lorentzian manifold of dimension (1, 3). An inequality is derived which bounds the Riemannian curvature tensor in terms of the ADM energy in the general case with second fundamental form. The inequality quantifies in which sense the Lorentzian manifold becomes flat in the limit when the ADM energy tends to zero.

Seiberg-Witten Equations on Asymptotically Flat Three Manifolds

We construct the Seiberg-Witten theory on asymptotically flat three manifolds and describe the structure of the moduli space. The analysis should serve as the basis for many applications in 3-manifold topology, including a proof of the equivalence of the Seiberg-Witten invariant of 3-manifolds and the Reidemeister torsion [7].

Ricci-flat Deformations of Asymptotically Cylindrical Calabi–yau Manifolds

We study a class of asymptotically cylindrical Ricci-flat Kähler metrics arising on quasiprojective manifolds. Using the Calabi–Yau geometry and analysis and the Kodaira–Kuranishi–Spencer theory and building up on results of N.Koiso, we show that under rather general hypotheses any local asymptotically cylindrical Ricci-flat deformations of such metrics are again Kähler, possibly with respect t...

Curvature Estimates in Asymptotically Flat Manifolds of Positive Scalar Curvature

Suppose that (Mn, g) is an asymptotically flat Riemannian spin manifold of positive scalar curvature. The positive mass theorem [1, 2, 3] states that the total mass of the manifold is always positive, and is zero if and only if the manifold is flat. This result suggests that there should be an inequality which bounds the Riemann tensor in terms of the total mass and implies that curvature must ...

Ricci-Flat Anti-Self-Dual Asymptotically Locally Euclidean 4-Manifolds

of the Dissertation Ricci-Flat Anti-Self-Dual Asymptotically Locally Euclidean 4-Manifolds by Evan Patrick Wright Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics Stony Brook University 2013 A classification result for Ricci-flat anti-self-dual asymptotically locally Euclidean 4-manifolds is obtained: they are either hyperkähler (one of the gravitational instantons classified by Kronheimer), or a cyclic quo...
