Weyl Curvature and the Euler Characteristic in Dimension Four
We give lower bounds, in terms of the Euler characteristic, for the L-norm of the Weyl curvature of closed Riemannian 4-manifolds. The same bounds were obtained by Gursky, in the case of positive scalar curvature metrics.
متن کاملFreund-rubin Revisited
We utilise the duality between M theory and Type IIA string theory to show the existence of Freund-Rubin compactifications of M theory on 7-manifolds with singularities supporting chiral fermions. This leads to a concrete way to study phenomenologically interesting quantum gravity vacua using a holographically dual three dimensional field theory. bacharya, denef, hofman, [email protected]...
متن کاملEguchi-Hanson Solitons
We present a new class of solutions in odd dimensions to Einstein’s equations containing either a positive or negative cosmological constant. These solutions resemble the even-dimensional Eguchi-Hanson(A)dS metrics, with the added feature of having Lorentzian signatures. They provide an affirmative answer to the open question as to whether or not there exist solutions with negative cosmological...
متن کاملThe Pontryagin 4-form
The unit 4-planes on which the first Pontryagin form of the Grassmann manifolds achieves its maximum are determined. This is a shorter and unified proof of results first obtained in 1995 by H. Gluck et al. and in 1998 by W. Gu.
متن کاملPontryagin Numbers and Nonnegative Curvature
We prove that any rational linear combination of Pontryagin numbers that is not a multiple of the signature is unbounded on connected closed oriented manifolds of nonnegative sectional curvature. Combining our result with Gromov’s finiteness result for the signature yields a new characterization of the L-genus.
