A uniformization theorem for complete Kähler manifolds with positive holomorphic bisectional curvature

In the theory of complex geometry, one of the famous problems is the following conjecture of Greene and Wu [13] and Yau [33]: Suppose M is a complete noncompact Kähler manifold with positive holomorphic bisectional curvature; then M is biholomorphic to ?ⁿ. In this paper we use the Ricci flow evolution equation to study this conjecture and prove the result that if M has bounded and positive curvature such that the L’ norm of the curvature on geodesic ball is small enough, then the conjecture is true. Our result gives an improvement on the results of Mok et al. [21] and Mok [22].     

Bach-flat asymptotically locally Euclidean metrics

We obtain a volume growth and curvature decay result for various classes of complete, noncompact Riemannian metrics in dimension 4; in particular our method applies to anti-self-dual or Kähler metrics with zero scalar curvature, and metrics with harmonic curvature. Similar results were obtained for Einstein metrics in [And89], [BKN89], [Tia90], but our analysis differs from the Einstein case in that (1) we consider more generally a fourth order system in the metric, and (2) we do not assume any pointwise Ricci curvature bound.     

Rigidity of shrinking Ricci solitons

We show that a compact Ricci soliton is rigid if and only if the Weyl conformal tensor is harmonic. In the complete noncompact case we prove the same result assuming that the curvature tensor has at most exponential growth and the Ricci tensor is bounded from below.     

Extremal of Log Sobolev inequality and W entropy on noncompact manifolds

Let M be a complete, connected noncompact manifold with bounded geometry. Under a condition near infinity, we prove that the Log Sobolev functional (1.1) has an extremal function decaying exponentially near infinity. We also prove that an extremal function may not exist if the condition is violated. This result has the following consequences. 1. It seems to give the first example of connected, complete manifolds with bounded geometry where a standard Log Sobolev inequality does not have an extremal. 2. It gives a negative answer to the open question on the existence of extremal of Perelman?s W entropy in the noncompact case, which was stipulated by Perelman (2002) [22, p. 9, 3.2 Remark]. 3. It helps to prove, in some cases, that noncompact shrinking breathers of Ricci flow are gradient shrinking solitons.     

L -harmonic functions with polynomial growth of a fixed rate

Yau made the following conjecture: For a complete noncompact manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature the space of harmonic functions with polynomial growth of a fixed rate is finite dimensional. we extend the result on the Laplace operator to that on the symmetric diffusion operator, and prove the space of L-harmonic functions with polynomial growth of a fixed rate is finite-dimensional, when m-dimensional Bakery-Emery Ricci curvature of the symmetric diffusion operator on the complete noncompact Riemannian manifold is nonnegative.     

L-harmonic functions with polynomial growth of a fixed rate

Yau made the following conjecture: For a complete noncompact manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature the space of harmonic functions with polynomial growth of a fixed rate is finite dimensional. we extend the result on the Laplace operator to that on the symmetric diffusion operator, and prove the space of L-harmonic functions with polynomial growth of a fixed rate is finite-dimensional, when m-dimensional Bakery-Emery Ricci curvature of the symmetric diffusion operator on the complete noncompact Riemannian manifold is nonnegative.     

Parabolic subgroups of semisimple Lie groups and Einstein solvmanifolds

In this paper, we study the solvmanifolds constructed from any parabolic subalgebras of any semisimple Lie algebras. These solvmanifolds are naturally homogeneous submanifolds of symmetric spaces of noncompact type. We show that the Ricci curvatures of our solvmanifolds coincide with the restrictions of the Ricci curvatures of the ambient symmetric spaces. Consequently, all of our solvmanifolds are Einstein, which provide a large number of new examples of noncompact homogeneous Einstein manifolds. We also show that our solvmanifolds are minimal, but not totally geodesic submanifolds of symmetric spaces.     

Local gradient estimate for harmonic functions on Finsler manifolds

In this paper, we prove the local gradient estimate for harmonic functions on complete, noncompact Finsler measure spaces under the condition that the weighted Ricci curvature has a lower bound. As applications, we obtain Liouville type theorems on noncompact Finsler manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature.     

Ricci curvature in the neighborhood of rank-one symmetric spaces

We study the Ricci curvature of a Riemannian metric as a differential operator acting on the space of metrics close (in a weighted functional spaces topology) to the standard metric of a rank-one noncompact symmetric space. We prove that any symmetric bilinear field close enough to the standard may be realized as the Ricci curvature of a unique close metric if its decay rate at infinity (its weight) belongs to some precisely known interval. We also study what happens if the decay rate is too small or too large.

Existence of solution of the logarithmic diffusion equation with bounded above Gauss curvature

We give a simple proof of an extension of the existence results of Ricci flow of Giesen and Topping (2010, 2011) [15], [20], on incomplete surfaces with bounded above Gauss curvature without using the difficult Shi’s existence theorem of Ricci flow on complete non-compact surfaces and the pseudolocality theorem of Perelman [7] on Ricci flow. We will also give a simple proof of a special case of the existence theorem of Topping (2010) [16] without using the existence theorem of Shi (1989) [9].     

Stability of complex hyperbolic space under curvature-normalized Ricci flow

Using the maximal regularity theory for quasilinear parabolic systems, we prove two stability results of complex hyperbolic space under the curvature-normalized Ricci flow in complex dimensions two and higher. The first result is on a closed manifold. The second result is on a complete noncompact manifold. To prove both results, we fully analyze the structure of the Lichnerowicz Laplacian on complex hyperbolic space. To prove the second result, we also define suitably weighted little Hölder spaces on a complete noncompact manifold and establish their interpolation properties.     

Uniqueness for Ricci flow with unbounded curvature in dimension 2

We consider the uniqueness of Ricci flow with the initial curvature bounded from above, but not necessarily bounded from below, on a 2-dimensional complete noncompact manifold.

Ricci Deformation of the Metric on Riemannian Orbifolds

In this note we generalize the Huisken’s (J Diff Geom 21:47–62, 1985) result to Riemannian orbifolds. We show that on any n-dimensional (n ≥ 4) orbifold of positive scalar curvature the metric can be deformed into a metric of constant positive curvature, provided the norm of the Weyl conformal curvature tensor and the norm of the traceless Ricci tensor are not large compared to the scalar curvature at each point, and therefore generalize 3-orbifolds result proved by Hamilton [Three- orbifolds with positive Ricci curvature. In: Cao HD, Chow B, Chu SC, Yau ST (eds) Collected Papers on Ricci Flow, Internat. Press, Somerville, 2003] to n-orbifolds (n ≥ 4).     

On the Perelman’s reduced entropy and Ricci flat manifolds with maximal volume growth

In this paper, we study the Ricci flat manifolds with maximal volume growth using Perelman’s reduced volume of Ricci flow. We show that if $(M^n,g)$ is an noncompact complete Ricci flat manifold with maximal volume growth satisfying $|Rm|(x)\rightarrow 0$ as $d(x)=d_g(x,p)\rightarrow \infty $ , then $M^n$ has the quadratic curvature decay. Some applications to this result are also presented.

Weighted Strichartz estimates for the Schrödinger and wave equations on Damek–Ricci spaces

We prove Strichartz estimates for radial solutions of the Schrödinger and wave equations on Damek–Ricci spaces, and in particular on symmetric spaces of noncompact type and rank one, using the perturbative theory with potentials. The curvature of the noncompact manifold has an influence on the dispersive properties, and indeed we obtain Strichartz estimates with weights at spatial infinity, which are stronger than the standard ones in the flat case.
