Non-negatively Curved Cohomogeneity One Manifolds
Non-negatively Curved Cohomogeneity One Manifolds Chenxu He Prof. Wolfgang Ziller, Advisor A Riemannian manifold M is called cohomogeneity one if it admits an isometric action by a compact Lie group G and the orbit space is one dimension. Many new examples of non-negatively curved manifolds were discovered recently in this category. However not every cohomogeneity one manifold carries an invari...
متن کاملPositively Curved Combinatorial 3-Manifolds
We present two theorems in the “discrete differential geometry” of positively curved spaces. The first is a combinatorial analog of the Bonnet-Myers theorem: • A combinatorial 3-manifold whose edges have degree at most five has edgediameter at most five. When all edges have unit length, this degree bound is equivalent to an angle-deficit along each edge. It is for this reason we call such space...
متن کاملOn the Geometry of Cohomogeneity One Manifolds with Positive Curvature
There are very few known examples of manifolds with positive sectional curvature. Apart from the compact rank one symmetric spaces, they exist only in dimensions 24 and below and are all obtained as quotients of a compact Lie group equipped with a biinvariant metric under an isometric group action. They consist of certain homogeneous spaces in dimensions 6, 7, 12, 13 and 24 due to Berger [Be], ...
متن کاملEight-dimensional SU(3)-manifolds of cohomogeneity one
In this paper, we classify 8-dimensional manifolds M admitting an SU(3) action of cohomogeneity one such that (i) M is simply connected and the orbit space M/G is isomorphic to [0, 1], and (ii) M/G ∼= S and the principal orbits are simply connected. We discuss applications to the study of the group manifold SU(3) and to 8-dimensional quaternion-Kähler spaces. MSC classification: 57S25; 22E46, 5...
متن کاملCohomogeneity One Einstein-sasaki 5-manifolds
We consider hypersurfaces in Einstein-Sasaki 5-manifolds which are tangent to the characteristic vector field. We introduce evolution equations that can be used to reconstruct the 5-dimensional metric from such a hypersurface, analogous to the (nearly) hypo and half-flat evolution equations in higher dimensions. We use these equations to classify Einstein-Sasaki 5-manifolds of cohomogeneity one...
