An Obata Type Result for the First Eigenvalue of the Sub-laplacian on a Cr Manifold with a Divergence-free Torsion

چکیده
We prove a CR version of the Obata’s result for the first eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian in the setting of a compact strictly pseudoconvex pseudohermitian manifold which satisfies a Lichnerowicz type condition and has a divergence free pseudohermitian torsion. We show that if the first positive eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian takes the smallest possible value then, up to a homothety of the pseudohermitian structure, the manifold is the standard Sasakian unit sphere. We also give a version of this theorem using the existence of a function with traceless horizontal Hessian on a complete, with respect to Webster’s metric, pseudohermitian manifold.

An Obata-type Theorem on a Three-dimensional Cr Manifold
We prove a CR version of the Obata’s result for the first eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian in the setting of a compact strictly pseudoconvex pseudohermitian three dimensional manifold with non-negative CR-Paneitz operator which satisfies a Lichnerowicz type condition. We show that if the first positive eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian takes the smallest possible value then, up to a homothety of t...
متن کاملEvolution of the first eigenvalue of buckling problem on Riemannian manifold under Ricci flow
Among the eigenvalue problems of the Laplacian, the biharmonic operator eigenvalue problems are interesting projects because these problems root in physics and geometric analysis. The buckling problem is one of the most important problems in physics, and many studies have been done by the researchers about the solution and the estimate of its eigenvalue. In this paper, first, we obtain the evol...
متن کاملAn Obata-type Theorem in Cr Geometry
We discuss a sharp lower bound for the first positive eigenvalue of the sublaplacian on a closed, strictly pseudoconvex pseudohermitian manifold of dimension 2m + 1 ≥ 5. We prove that the equality holds iff the manifold is equivalent to the CR sphere up to a scaling. For this purpose, we establish an Obata-type theorem in CR geometry which characterizes the CR sphere in terms of a nonzero funct...

where (hαβ) is the positive definite n × n matrix on M , which is uniquely determined by the Levi form Lθ(u, v) = −idθ(u, v) for u, v ∈ H(M). Let ∆sb be the sub-Laplacian with respect to θ (see [8], [22] and [7] for references) and let μ1 be the first positive eigenvalue of ∆sb on (M, θ). Let Rαβ be the Webster pseudo Ricci curvature, R be the pseudo scalar curvature and Tor be the pseudo torsi...

On a compact quaternionic contact (qc) manifold of dimension bigger than seven and satisfying a Lichnerowicz type lower bound estimate we show that if the first positive eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian takes the smallest possible value then, up to a homothety of the qc structure, the manifold is qc equivalent to the standard 3-Sasakian sphere. The same conclusion is shown to hold on a non-compa...
