Negative sectional curvature and the product complex structure

چکیده
Let M = M1 ×M2 be a product of complex manifolds. We prove that M cannot admit a complete Kähler metric with sectional curvature K < c < 0 and Ricci curvature Ric > d, where c and d are arbitrary constants. In particular, a product domain in Cn cannot cover a compact Kähler manifold with negative sectional curvature. On the other hand, we observe that there are complete Kähler metrics with negative sectional curvature on Cn. Hence the upper sectional curvature bound is necessary.

Para-Kahler tangent bundles of constant para-holomorphic sectional curvature
We characterize the natural diagonal almost product (locally product) structures on the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold. We obtain the conditions under which the tangent bundle endowed with the determined structure and with a metric of natural diagonal lift type is a Riemannian almost product (locally product) manifold, or an (almost) para-Hermitian manifold. We find the natural diagona...
متن کاملA remark on left invariant metrics on compact Lie groups
The investigation of manifolds with non-negative sectional curvature is one of the classical fields of study in global Riemannian geometry. While there are few known obstruction for a closed manifold to admit metrics of non-negative sectional curvature, there are relatively few known examples and general construction methods of such manifolds (see [Z] for a detailed survey). In this context, it...

In this paper, the authors prove that a strictly Kähler-Berwald manifold with nonzero constant holomorphic sectional curvature must be a Kähler manifold.
متن کاملThe Curvature of the Bogoliubov-kubo-mori Scalar Product on Matrices
The state space of a finite quantum system is identified with the set of positive semidefinite matrices of trace 1. The set of all strictly positive definite matrices of trace 1 becomes naturally a differentiable manifold and the Bogoliubov-Kubo-Mori scalar product defines a Riemannian structure on it. Reference [4] tells about the relation of this metric to the von Neumann entropy functional. ...

Let M = X×Y be the product of two complex manifolds of positive dimensions. In this paper, we prove that there is no complete Kähler metric g on M such that: either (i) the holomorphic bisectional curvature of g is bounded by a negative constant and the Ricci curvature is bounded below by −C(1+r) where r is the distance from a fixed point; or (ii) g has nonpositive sectional curvature and the h...
