Warped Product Rigidity

چکیده
In this paper we study the space of solutions to an overdetermined linear system involving the Hessian of functions. We show that if the solution space has dimension greater than one, then the underlying manifold has a very rigid warped product structure. This warped product structure will be used to study warped product Einstein structures in [HPW3].

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 کاملComplete spacelike hypersurfaces with positive r-th mean curvature in a semi-Riemannian warped product
In this paper, by supposing a natural comparison inequality on the positive r-th mean curvatures of the hypersurface, we obtain some new Bernstein-type theorems for complete spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in a semi-Riemannian warped product of constant sectional curvature. Generalizing the above results, under a restriction on the sectional curvature or the Ricci curvature tensor of the fiber...

Abstract: In the present paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for contact CR-warped product to be contact CR-product in Kenmotsu space forms.
متن کاملApplication of Hopf's lemma on contact CR-warped product submanifolds of a nearly Kenmotsu manifold
In this paper we consider contact CR-warped product submanifolds of the type $M = N_Ttimes_f N_perp$, of a nearly Kenmotsu generalized Sasakian space form $bar M(f_1, f_2, f_3)$ and by use of Hopf's Lemma we show that $M$ is simply contact CR-product under certain condition. Finally, we establish a sharp inequality for squared norm of the second fundamental form and equality case is dis...
متن کاملAffine Isometric Embeddings and Rigidity
The Pick cubic form is a fundamental invariant in the (equi)affine differential geometry of hypersurfaces. We study its role in the affine isometric embedding problem, using exterior differential systems (EDS). We give pointwise conditions on the Pick form under which an isometric embedding of a Riemannian manifold M3 into R4 is rigid. The role of the Pick form in the characteristic variety of ...
