Exotic Structures and the Limitations of Certain Analytic Methods in Geometry
In this survey we review some results concerning negatively curved exotic structures (DIFF and PL) and its (unexpected) implications on the limitations of some analytic methods in geometry. Among these methods are the harmonic map method and the Ricci flow method. First in section 1 we mention certain results about the rigidity of negatively curved manifolds. In section 2 and 3 we survey some r...
متن کاملA Caveat on the Convergence of the Ricci Flow for Pinched Negatively Curved Manifolds
where r = ∫ Rdμ/ ∫ dμ is the average scalar curvature (R is the scalar curvature) and Ric is the Ricci curvature tensor of h. Hamilton then spectacularly illustrated the success of this method by proving, when n = 3, that if the initial Riemannian metric has strictly positive Ricci curvature it evolves through time to a positively curved Einstein metric h∞ on M . And, because n = 3, such a Riem...
متن کاملPseudolocality for the Ricci Flow and Applications
In [26], Perelman established a differential Li-YauHamilton (LYH) type inequality for fundamental solutions of the conjugate heat equation corresponding to the Ricci flow on compact manifolds (also see [23]). As an application of the LYH inequality, Perelman proved a pseudolocality result for the Ricci flow on compact manifolds. In this article we provide the details for the proofs of these res...
متن کاملOn three-dimensional $N(k)$-paracontact metric manifolds and Ricci solitons
The aim of this paper is to characterize $3$-dimensional $N(k)$-paracontact metric manifolds satisfying certain curvature conditions. We prove that a $3$-dimensional $N(k)$-paracontact metric manifold $M$ admits a Ricci soliton whose potential vector field is the Reeb vector field $xi$ if and only if the manifold is a paraSasaki-Einstein manifold. Several consequences of this result are discuss...
متن کاملRicci tensor for $GCR$-lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Kaehler manifolds
We obtain the expression of Ricci tensor for a $GCR$-lightlikesubmanifold of indefinite complex space form and discuss itsproperties on a totally geodesic $GCR$-lightlike submanifold of anindefinite complex space form. Moreover, we have proved that everyproper totally umbilical $GCR$-lightlike submanifold of anindefinite Kaehler manifold is a totally geodesic $GCR$-lightlikesubmanifold.
