In honor of Richard Schoen for the occasion of his 60th birthday STRUCTURE OF COMPLETE MANIFOLDS WITH POSITIVE SPECTRUM

چکیده
In this article, we will give a brief survey on some recent development concerning the understanding of the structure at infinity of a complete manifold whose spectrum has a positive lower bound. Throughout this paper, we denote M to be a complete n-dimensional manifold without boundary endowed with the metric ds. We assume that the Ricci curvature of M is bounded from below by some constant. Recall that when M has nonnegative Ricci curvature, then the splitting theorem of Cheeger and Gromoll [CG] asserts that M must have only one end unless M is a cylinder isometric to the product, R × N , of the real line and a compact manifold Nn−1 with nonnegative Ricci curvature. For the purpose of this discussion, we may hence assume that the Ricci curvature of M is bounded from below by a negative constant, and after rescaling,

متن کاملCOMPLETE k-CURVATURE HOMOGENEOUS PSEUDO-RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS 0-MODELED ON AN INDECOMPOSIBLE SYMMETRIC SPACE
For k ≥ 2, we exhibit complete k-curvature homogeneous neutral signature pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are not locally affine homogeneous (and hence not locally homogeneous). The curvature tensor of these manifolds is modeled on that of an indecomposible symmetric space. All the local scalar Weyl curvature invariants of these manifolds vanish.

متن کاملCONFORMAL METRICS WITH PRESCRIBED CURVATURE FUNCTIONS ON MANIFOLDS WITH BOUNDARY By BO GUAN Dedicated to Professor Joel Spruck on the occasion of his 60th birthday
We study the Dirichlet problem for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations related to conformal deformations of metrics on Riemannian manifolds with boundary. As a consequence we prove the existence of a conformal metric, given its value on the boundary as a prescribed metric conformal to the (induced) background metric, with a prescribed curvature function of the Schouten tensor.
متن کاملStaircase polygons: moments of diagonal lengths and column heights
We consider staircase polygons, counted by perimeter and sums of k-th powers of their diagonal lengths, k being a positive integer. We derive limit distributions for these parameters in the limit of large perimeter and compare the results to Monte-Carlo simulations of self-avoiding polygons. We also analyse staircase polygons, counted by width and sums of powers of their column heights, and we ...
