Supersymmetric rigidity of asymptotically locally hyperbolic manifolds

چکیده
Let (M, g) be an asymptotically locally hyperbolic (ALH) manifold which is the interior of a conformally compact manifold and (∂M, [γ]) its conformal infinity. Suppose that the Ricci tensor of (M, g) dominates that of the hyperbolic space and that its scalar curvature satisfies a certain decay condition at infinity. If the Yamabe invariant of (∂M, [γ]) is non-negative, we prove that there exists a conformal metric on M with non-negative scalar curvature and whose boundary ∂M has either positive or zero constant inner mean curvature. In the spin case, we make use of a previous estimate obtained by X. Zhang and the authors for the Dirac operator of the induced metric on ∂M . As a consequence, we generalize and simplify the proof of the result by L. Andersson and M. Dahl in [AD] about the rigidity of the hyperbolic space when the prescribed conformal infinity ∂M is a round sphere. We also provide non-existence results for conformally compact ALH spin metrics when ∂M is conformal to a Riemannian manifold with special holonomy.

Rigidity results for asymptotically locally hyperbolic manifolds with lower bounds on scalar curvature are proved using spinor methods related to the Witten proof of the positive mass theorem. The argument is based on a study of the Dirac operator defined with respect to the Killing connection. The existence of asymptotic Killing spinors is related to the spin structure on the end. The expressi...
متن کاملRigidity of Asymptotically Hyperbolic Manifolds
In this paper, we prove a rigidity theorem of asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds only under the assumptions on curvature. Its proof is based on analyzing asymptotic structures of such manifolds at infinity and a volume comparison theorem.
متن کاملLocal Rigidity of Hyperbolic 3-manifolds after Dehn Surgery
It is well known that some lattices in SO(n, 1) can be nontrivially deformed when included in SO(n+1, 1) (e.g., via bending on a totally geodesic hypersurface); this contrasts with the (super) rigidity of higher rank lattices. M. Kapovich recently gave the first examples of lattices in SO(3, 1) which are locally rigid in SO(4, 1) by considering closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds obtained by Dehn fil...
متن کاملRigidity Theorems for Compact Manifolds with Boundary and Positive Ricci Curvature
We sketch the idea of the proof. We glue M with RnB along the boundary S 1 to obtain an asymptotically at manifoldN with nonnegative scalar curvature. Since it is actually at near in nity the positive mass theorem implies that N is isometric to R and hence M is isometric to Bn (see [M, ST] for details). There are similar rigidity results for geodesic balls in the hyperbolic space assuming R n...
متن کاملRigidity of Hyperbolic P-manifolds: a Survey
In this survey paper, we outline the proofs of the rigidity results (Mostow type, quasi-isometric, and Diagram rigidity) for simple, thick, hyperbolic P-manifolds found in [L1], [L2], [L3]. The later spaces are in some sense the simplest non-manifold locally CAT(1) spaces one can create. All the proofs depend on the highly non-homogenous structure of the boundary at infinity of the (universal c...
