Vector Fields and Ricci Curvature
We shall prove theorems on nonexistence of certain types of vector fields on a compact manifold with a positive definite Riemannian metric whose Ricci curvature is either everywhere positive or everywhere negative. Actually we shall have some relaxations of the requirements both as to curvature and as to compactness. We shall deal with real spaces with a customary metric and with complex analyt...
متن کاملRicci solitons and concurrent vector fields
A Ricci soliton (M, g, v, λ) on a Riemannian manifold (M, g) is said to have concurrent potential field if its potential field v is a concurrent vector field. In the first part of this paper we classify Ricci solitons with concurrent potential fields. In the second part we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for a submanifold to be a Ricci soliton in a Riemannian manifold equipped with ...
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...
متن کاملAspects of Ricci Curvature
We describe some new ideas and techniques introducedto study spaces with a given lower Ricci curvature bound, and discuss a number of recent results about such spaces.
متن کاملRicci Curvature modulo Homotopy
This article is a report summarizing recent progress in the geometry of negative Ricci and scalar curvature. It describes the range of general existence results of such metrics on manifolds of dimension ≥ 3. Moreover it explains flexibility and approximation theorems for these curvature conditions leading to unexpected effects. For instance, we find that “modulo homotopy” (in a specified sense)...
