The Weyl Problem with Nonnegative Gauss Curvature in Hyperbolic Space
In this paper, we discuss the isometric embedding problem in hyperbolic space with nonnegative extrinsic curvature. We prove a priori bounds for the trace of the second fundamental form H and extend the result to ndimensions. We also obtain an estimate for the gradient of the smaller principal curvature in 2 dimensions.
متن کاملThe Gauss-Bonnet Formula of Polytopal Manifolds and the Characterization of Embedded Graphs with Nonnegative Curvature
Let M be a connected d-manifold without boundary obtained from a (possibly infinite) collection P of polytopes of R by identifying them along isometric facets. Let V (M) be the set of vertices of M . For each v ∈ V (M), define the discrete Gaussian curvature κM (v) as the normal angle-sum with sign, extended over all polytopes having v as a vertex. Our main result is as follows: If the absolute...
متن کاملDubins ’ Problem on Surfaces . I . Nonnegative Curvature
Let M be a complete, connected, two-dimensional Riemannian manifold. Consider the following question: Given any (p1, v1) and (p2, v2) in T M , is it possible to connect p1 to p2 by a curve γ in M with arbitrary small geodesic curvature such that, for i = 1, 2, γ̇ is equal to vi at pi? In this article, we bring a positive answer to the question if M verifies one of the following three conditions:...
متن کاملThe Weyl Curvature Conjecture
In this paper we review Penrose’s Weyl curvature conjecture which states that the concept of gravitational entropy and the Weyl tensor is somehow linked, at least in a cosmological setting. We give a description of a certain entity constructed from the Weyl tensor, from the very early history of our universe until the present day. Inflation is an important mechanism in our early universe for ho...
متن کاملManifolds with Nonnegative Isotropic Curvature
We prove that if (M, g) is a compact locally irreducible Riemannian manifold with nonnegative isotropic curvature, then one of the following possibilities hold: (i) M admits a metric with positive isotropic curvature (ii) (M, g) is isometric to a locally symmetric space (iii) (M, g) is Kähler and biholomorphic to CP n. This is implied by the following two results: (i) Let (M, g) be a compact, l...
