چکیده

The Dirichlet boundary-value problem and isoperimetric inequalities for positive definite regular solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations are studied in arbitrary dimensions for the class of metrics with boundaries admitting a U(1) action. In the case of trivial bundles, apart from the flat space solution with periodic identification, such solutions include the Euclideanised Schwarzschild metrics with an arbitrary compact Einstein-manifold as the base, whereas for nontrivial bundles the regular solutions include the Taub-Nut metric with a CP base and the TaubBolt and the Euguchi-Hanson metrics with an arbitrary Einstein-Kähler base. We show that in the case of non-trivial bundles Taub-Bolt infillings are double-valued whereas Taub-Nut and Eguchi-Hanson infillings are unique. In the case of trivial bundles, there are two Schwarzschild infillings in arbitrary dimensions. The condition of whether a particular type of filling in is possible can be expressed as a limitation on squashing through a functional dependence on dimension in each case. The case of the Eguchi-Hanson metric is solved in arbitrary dimension. The Taub-Nut and the Taub-Bolt are solved in four dimensions and methods for arbitrary dimension are delineated. For the case of Schwarzschild, analytic formulae for the two infilling black hole masses in arbitrary dimension have been obtained. This should facilitate the study of black hole dynamics/thermodynamics in higher dimensions. We found that all infilling solutions are convex. Thus convexity of the boundary does not guarantee uniqueness of the infilling. Isoperimetric inequalities involving the volume of the boundary and the volume of the infilling solutions are then investigated. In particular, the analogues of Minkowski’s celebrated inequality in flat space are found and discussed providing insight into the geometric nature of these Ricciflat spaces. ∗E-mail:[email protected] †E-mail:[email protected]

Evolution of the first eigenvalue of buckling problem on Riemannian manifold under Ricci flow

Among the eigenvalue problems of the Laplacian, the biharmonic operator eigenvalue problems are interesting projects because these problems root in physics and geometric analysis. The buckling problem is one of the most important problems in physics, and many studies have been done by the researchers about the solution and the estimate of its eigenvalue. In this paper, first, we obtain the evol...

Isoperimetric Inequalities and Eigenvalues of the Laplacian

Given a domain D in euclidean space or on a Riemannian manifold, one naturally associates with it such fundamental geometric quantities as its volume, the measure of its boundary, various curvature functions and their extremes or integrals. One can also associate with the domain D the set of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the Laplace operator, subject to given boundary conditions. Recent wor...

Classical Boundary-value Problem in Riemannian Quantum Gravity and Taub-Bolt-anti-de Sitter Geometries

For an SU(2) × U(1)-invariant S boundary the classical Dirichlet problem of Riemannian quantum gravity is studied for positive-definite regular solutions of the Einstein equations with a negative cosmological constant within biaxial Bianchi-IX metrics containing bolts, i.e., within the family of Taub-Bolt-anti-de Sitter (Taub-Bolt-AdS) metrics. Such metrics are obtained from the two-parameter T...

On quasi-Einstein Finsler spaces‎

‎The notion of quasi-Einstein metric in physics is equivalent to the notion of Ricci soliton in Riemannian spaces‎. ‎Quasi-Einstein metrics serve also as solution to the Ricci flow equation‎. ‎Here‎, ‎the Riemannian metric is replaced by a Hessian matrix derived from a Finsler structure and a quasi-Einstein Finsler metric is defined‎. ‎In compact case‎, ‎it is proved that the quasi-Einstein met...

Coarse and Precise L-green Potential Estimates on Noncompact Riemannian Manifolds

Abstract. We are concerned about the coarse and precise aspects of a priori estimates for Green’s function of a regular domain for the Laplacian-Betrami operator on any 3 ≤ n-dimensional complete non-compact boundary-free Riemannian manifold through the square Sobolev/Nash/logarithmic-Sobolev inequalities plus the rough and sharp Euclidean isoperimetric inequalities. Consequently, we are led to...
