The Boundary between Compact and Noncompact Complete Riemann Manifolds

چکیده
In 1941 Sumner Myers proved that if the Ricci curvature of a complete Riemann manifold has a positive infimum then the manifold is compact and its diameter is bounded in terms of the infimum. Subsequently the curvature hypothesis has been weakened, and in this paper we weaken it further in an attempt to find the ultimate, sharp result.

The Teichmüller Distance on the Space of Flat Conformal Structures
We define the Teichmüller pseudodistance on spaces of flat conformal structures by the same manner as classical Teichmüller distance on the Teichmüller space of Riemann surfaces. We will prove that for compact manifolds this pseudodistance becomes a complete distance. We will also prove similar results for noncompact manifolds under certain assumptions.
متن کاملA Property of Kähler-Ricci Solitons on Complete Complex Surfaces
where Rαβ(x, t) denotes the Ricci curvature tensor of the metric gαβ(x, t). One of the main problems in differential geometry is to find canonical structure on manifolds. The Ricci flow introduced by Hamilton [8] is an useful tool to approach such problems. For examples, Hamilton [10] and Chow [7] used the convergence of the Ricci flow to characterize the complex structures on compact Riemann s...
متن کاملEXISTENCE OF BOUND STATES FOR LAYERS BUILT OVER HYPERSURFACES IN Rn+1 CHRISTOPHER LIN AND ZHIQIN LU
In their study of the spectrum of quantum layers [6], Duclos, Exner, and Krejčǐŕık proved the existence of bound states for certain quantum layers . Part of their motivations to study the quantum layers is from mesoscopic physics. From the mathematical point of view, a quantum layer is a noncompact noncomplete manifold. For such a manifold, the spectrum of the Laplacian (with Dirichlet or Neuma...
متن کاملOn Finiteness of the Number of Stable Minimal Hypersurfaces with a Fixed Boundary
Can there be infinitely many minimal hypersurfaces with a given boundary in a Riemannian manifold? A number of previous results, positive and negative, already indicated that the answer depends on the definition of surface, on orientability, on stability and minimizing properties of the surface, on the smoothness and geometry of the boundary, and on the ambient manifold. 1. Finiteness for area-...
متن کاملOn the asymptotic scalar curvature ratio of complete Type I-like ancient solutions to the Ricci flow on noncompact 3-manifolds
Complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature arise naturally in the Ricci flow when one takes the limits of dilations about a singularity of a solution of the Ricci flow on a compact 3-manifold [ H-95a]. To analyze the singularities in the Ricci flow one needs to understand these manifolds in depth. There are three invariants, asymptotic scalar curvature ratio, ...
