Quantitative volume space form rigidity under lower Ricci curvature bound II

Measure Rigidity of Ricci Curvature Lower Bounds

The measure contraction property, MCP for short, is a weak Ricci curvature lower bound conditions for metric measure spaces. The goal of this paper is to understand which structural properties such assumption (or even weaker modifications) implies on the measure, on its support and on the geodesics of the space. We start our investigation from the euclidean case by proving that if a positive Ra...

RICCI CURVATURE OF SUBMANIFOLDS OF A SASAKIAN SPACE FORM

Involving the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature, we obtain basic inequalities for different kind of submaniforlds of a Sasakian space form tangent to the structure vector field of the ambient manifold. Contrary to already known results, we find a different necessary and sufficient condition for the equality for Ricci curvature of C-totally real submanifolds of a Sasakian space form...

A compactness theorem for a fully nonlinear Yamabe problem under a lower Ricci curvature bound

We prove compactness of solutions of a fully nonlinear Yamabe problem satisfying a lower Ricci curvature bound, when the manifold is not conformally diffeomorphic to the standard sphere. This allows us to prove the existence of solutions when the associated cone Γ satisfies μ+Γ ≤ 1, which includes the σk−Yamabe problem for k not smaller than half of the dimension of the manifold.
