Positive 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.
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 کاملPRESCRIBING SCALAR CURVATURE ON Sn
on S for n ≥ 3. In the case R is rotationally symmetric, the well-known Kazdan-Warner condition implies that a necessary condition for (1) to have a solution is: R > 0 somewhere and R′(r) changes signs. Then, (a) is this a sufficient condition? (b) If not, what are the necessary and sufficient conditions? These have been open problems for decades. In Chen & Li, 1995, we gave question (a) a nega...
متن کاملHamilton Connected Derangement Graphs on Sn
We consider the derangements graph in which the vertices are permutations of f ng Two vertices are joined by an edge if the corresponding permuta tions di er in every position The derangements graph is known to be hamil tonian and it follows from a recent result of Jung that every pair of vertices is joined by a Hamilton path We use this result to settle an open question by showing that it is p...
متن کاملPositive Ricci Curvature
We discuss the Sasakian geometry of odd dimensional homotopy spheres. In particular, we give a completely new proof of the existence of metrics of positive Ricci curvature on exotic spheres that can be realized as the boundary of a parallelizable manifold. Furthermore, it is shown that on such homotopy spheres Σ the moduli space of Sasakian structures has infinitely many positive components det...
