Construction of conformally compact Einstein manifolds

چکیده
We produce some explicit examples of conformally compact Einstein manifolds, whose conformal compactifications are foliated by Riemannian products of a closed Einstein manifold with the total space of a principal circle bundle over products of Kähler-Einstein manifolds. We compute the associated conformal invariants, i.e., the renormalized volume in even dimensions and the conformal anomaly in odd dimensions. As a by-product, we obtain some Riemannian products with vanishing Q-curvature.

Warped product and quasi-Einstein metrics
Warped products provide a rich class of physically significant geometric objects. Warped product construction is an important method to produce a new metric with a base manifold and a fibre. We construct compact base manifolds with a positive scalar curvature which do not admit any non-trivial quasi-Einstein warped product, and non compact complete base manifolds which do not admit any non-triv...
متن کاملOn the Topology of Conformally Compact Einstein 4-manifolds
In this paper we study the topology of conformally compact Einstein 4-manifolds. When the conformal infinity has positive Yamabe invariant and the renormalized volume is also positive we show that the conformally compact Einstein 4-manifold will have at most finite fundamental group. Under the further assumption that the renormalized volume is relatively large, we conclude that the conformally ...
متن کاملOn the Rigidity for Conformally Compact Einstein Manifolds
In this paper we prove that a conformally compact Einstein manifold with the round sphere as its conformal infinity has to be the hyperbolic space. We do not assume the manifolds to be spin, but our approach relies on the positive mass theorem for asymptotic flat manifolds. The proof is based on understanding of positive eigenfunctions and compactifications obtained by positive eigenfunctions. ...
متن کاملTopics in Conformally Compact Einstein Metrics
Conformal compactifications of Einstein metrics were introduced by Penrose [38], as a means to study the behavior of gravitational fields at infinity, i.e. the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the vacuum Einstein equations at null infinity. This has remained a very active area of research, cf. [27], [19] for recent surveys. In the context of Riemannian metrics, the modern study of conformall...
متن کاملOn the Renormalized Volumes for Conformally Compact Einstein Manifolds
We study the renormalized volume of a conformally compact Einstein manifold. In even dimenions, we derive the analogue of the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet formula incorporating the renormalized volume. When the dimension is odd, we relate the renormalized volume to the conformal primitive of the Q-curvature. 0. Introduction Recently, there is a series of work ([GZ],[FG-2] and [FH]) exploring the connecti...
