On Complete Noncompact Kähler Manifolds with Positive Bisectional Curvature
We prove that a complete noncompact Kähler manifold Mof positive bisectional curvature satisfying suitable growth conditions is biholomorphic to a pseudoconvex domain of C and we show that the manifold is topologically R2n. In particular, when M is a Kähler surface of positive bisectional curvature satisfying certain natural geometric growth conditions, it is biholomorphic to C2.
متن کاملOn Stretch curvature of Finsler manifolds
In this paper, Finsler metrics with relatively non-negative (resp. non-positive), isotropic and constant stretch curvature are studied. In particular, it is showed that every compact Finsler manifold with relatively non-positive (resp. non-negative) stretch curvature is a Landsberg metric. Also, it is proved that every (α,β)-metric of non-zero constant flag curvature and non-zero relatively i...
متن کاملA Genealogy of Noncompact Manifolds of Nonnegative Curvature: History and Logic
This article presents an approach to the theory of open manifolds of nonnegative sectional curvature via the calculus of nonsmooth functions. This analytical approach makes possible a very compact development of the by now classical theory. The article also gives a summary of the historical development of the subject of open manifolds of nonnegative sectional curvature and of related topics. So...
متن کاملImmersed Spheres of Finite Total Curvature into Manifolds
We prove that a sequence of, possibly branched, weak immersions of the two-sphere S into an arbitrary compact riemannian manifold (M, h) with uniformly bounded area and uniformly bounded L−norm of the second fundamental form either collapse to a point or weakly converges as current, modulo extraction of a subsequence, to a Lipschitz mapping of S and whose image is made of a connected union of f...
متن کاملSurgery and Tightness in Contact 3-manifolds
This article is an expository overview of the proof of the author that tightness of a closed contact 3-manifold is preserved under Legendrian surgery. The aim is to give a somewhat more leisurely, motivated, and illustrated version of the ideas and constructions involved in the original paper.
