Ricci Flow and the Metric Completion of the Space of Kähler Metrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the space of Kähler metrics as a Riemannian submanifold of the space of Riemannian metrics, and study the associated submanifold geometry. In particular, we show that the intrinsic and extrinsic distance functions are equivalent. We also determine the metric completion of the space of Kähler metrics, making contact with recent generalizations of the Calabi–Yau Theorem due to Dinew and Guedj–Zeriahi. As an application, we obtain a new analytic stability criterion for the existence of a Kähler–Einstein metric on a Fano manifold in terms of the Ricci flow and the distance function. We also prove that the Kähler–Ricci flow converges as soon as it converges in the metric sense.

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...
متن کامل(kähler-)ricci Flow on (kähler) Manifolds
One of the most interesting questions in Riemannian geometry is that of deciding whether a manifold admits curvatures of certain kinds. More specifically, one might want to know whether some given manifold admits a canonical metric, i.e. one with constant curvature of some form (sectional curvature, scalar curvature, etc.). (This will in fact have many topological implications.). One such probl...
متن کاملEinstein structures on four-dimensional nutral Lie groups
When Einstein was thinking about the theory of general relativity based on the elimination of especial relativity constraints (especially the geometric relationship of space and time), he understood the first limitation of especial relativity is ignoring changes over time. Because in especial relativity, only the curvature of the space was considered. Therefore, tensor calculations should be to...
متن کاملThe Kähler-ricci Flowon Kähler Surfaces
The problem of finding Kähler-Einstein metrics on a compact Kähler manifold has been the subject of intense study over the last few decades. In his solution to Calabi’s conjecture, Yau [Ya1] proved the existence of a Kähler-Einstein metric on compact Kähler manifolds with vanishing or negative first Chern class. An alternative proof of Yau’s theorem is given by Cao [Ca] using the Kähler-Ricci f...
متن کاملRicci Flow Unstable Cell Centered at a Kähler-einstein Metric on the Twistor Space of Positive Quaternion
We show that there exists a 2-parameter family F of Riemannian metrics on the twistor space Z of a positive quaternion Kähler manifold M having the following properties : (1) the family F is closed under the operation of making the convex sums, (2) the Ricci map g 7→ Ric(g) sends the family F to itself, (3) the family F contains the scalings of a Kähler-Einstein metric of Z. We show that the Ri...
