The equivalence on classical metrics

In this paper we study the complete invariant metrics on Cartan-Hartogs domains which are the special types of Hua domains. Firstly, we introduce a class of new complete invariant metrics on these domains, and prove that these metrics are equivalent to the Bergman metric. Secondly, the Ricci curvatures under these new metrics are bounded from above and below by the negative constants. Thirdly, we estimate the holomorphic sectional curvatures of the new metrics, and prove that the holomorphic sectional curvatures are bounded from above and below by the negative constants. Finally, by using these new metrics and Yau's Schwarz lemma we prove that the new metrics are equivalent to the Einstein-Kahler metric. That means that the Yau's conjecture is true on Cartan-Hartogs domains.     

On a class of almost regular Landsberg metrics

There is a long existing "unicorn" problem in Finsler geometry: whether or not any Landsberg metric is a Berwald metric? Some classes of metrics were studied in the past and no regular non-Berwaldian Landsberg metric was found. However, if the metric is almost regular(allowed to be singular in some directions),some non-Berwaldian Landsberg metrics were found in the past years. All of them are composed by Riemannian metrics and 1-forms. This motivates us to ?nd more almost regular non-Berwaldian Landsberg metrics in the class of general(α, β)-metrics. In this paper, we ?rst classify almost regular Landsberg general(α, β)-metrics into three cases and prove that those regular metrics must be Berwald metrics. By solving some nonlinear PDEs,some new almost regular Landsberg metrics are constructed which have not been described before.     

The peeling property of Bondi-Sachs metrics for nonzero cosmological constants

In this paper, we show that the peeling property still holds for Bondi-Sachs metrics with nonzero cosmological constants under the boundary condition given by Sommerfeld's radiation condition together with three nontrivial Λ-independent functions B, a and b. This should indicate that the new boundary condition is natural. Moreover, we construct some nonstationary vacuum Bondi-Sachs metrics without Bondi news, whose Newman-Penrose quantities fall faster than usual. This provides a new feature of gravitational waves for nonzero cosmological constants.     

Vanishing Results for the Cotton Tensor on Gradient Quasi-Einstein Solitons

In this paper we study on gradient quasi-Einstein solitons with a fourth-order vanishing condition on the Weyl tensor.More precisely, we show that for n ≥ 4, the Cotton tensor of any ndimensional gradient quasi-Einstein soliton with fourth order f-divergence free Weyl tensor is flat, if the manifold is compact, or noncompact but the potential function satisfies some growth condition.As corollaries, some local characterization results for the quasi-Einstein metrics are derived.     

Geometric aspects of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces

We describe some recent progress in the study of moduli space of Riemann surfaces in this survey paper. New complete Kahler metrics were introduced on the moduli space and Teichmuller space. Their curvature properties and asymptotic behavior were studied in details. These natural metrics served as bridges to connect all the known canonical metrics, especially the Kahler-Einstein metric. We showed that all the known complete metrics on the moduli space are equivalent and have Poincare type growth. Furthermore, the Kahler-Einstein metric has strongly bounded geometry. This also implied that the logarithm cotangent bundle of the moduli space is stable in the sense of Mumford.     

Classification of invariant Einstein metrics on certain compact homogeneous spaces

In this paper, we study invariant Einstein metrics on certain compact homogeneous spaces with three isotropy summands. We show that, if G/K is a compact isotropy irreducible space with G and K simple,then except for some very special cases, the coset space G × G/?(K) carries at least two invariant Einstein metrics. Furthermore, in the case that G_1, G_2 and K are simple Lie groups, with K■G_1, K■G_2, and G_1≠G_2, such that G_1/K and G_2/K are compact isotropy irreducible spaces, we give a complete classification of invariant Einstein metrics on the coset space G_1 × G_2/?(K).     

Minimal Complex Surfaces with Levi–Civita Ricci-flat Metrics

This is a continuation of our previous paper [14]. In [14], we introduced the first Aeppli–Chern class on compact complex manifolds, and proved that the(1, 1) curvature form of the Levi–Civita connection represents the first Aeppli–Chern class which is a natural link between Riemannian geometry and complex geometry. In this paper, we study the geometry of compact complex manifolds with Levi–Civita Ricci-flat metrics and classify minimal complex surfaces with Levi–Civita Ricci-flat metrics.More precisely, we show that minimal complex surfaces admitting Levi–Civita Ricci-flat metrics are K¨ahler Calabi–Yau surfaces and Hopf surfaces.     

Geometry of Ricci Solitons

Ricci solitons are natural generalizations of Einstein metrics on one hand, and are special solutions of the Ricci flow of Hamilton on the other hand. In this paper we survey some of the recent developments on Ricci solitons and the role they play in the singularity study of the Ricci flow.     

Some results on derivations of MV-algebras

In this paper, we review some of their related properties of derivations on MValgebras and give some characterizations of additive derivations. Then we prove that the fixed point set of Boolean additive derivations and that of their adjoint derivations are isomorphic.In particular, we prove that every MV-algebra is isomorphic to the direct product of the fixed point set of Boolean additive derivations and that of their adjoint derivations. Finally we show that every Boolean algebra is isomorphic...     

ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF SOLUTIONS TO A CLASS OF HIGHER ORDER DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS

In this paper,we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a class of higher order difference equations.With the aid of the discrete inequality,we obtain some sufficient conditions which ensure that all the solutions to the equation are some high order of infinities,and also that some conditions which guarantee that every oscillatory solution to the equation has the property that the i order L operator of it tends to infinity when its independent variable tends to zero.     

On dually flat Finsler metrics

In this paper, we study the locally dually flat Finsler metrics which arise from information geometry. An equivalent condition of locally dually flat Finsler metrics is given. We find a new method to construct locally dually flat Finsler metrics by using a projectively flat Finsler metric under the condition that the projective factor is also a Finsler metric. Finally, we find that many known Finsler metrics are locally dually flat Finsler metrics determined by some projectively flat Finsler metrics.     

On a class of weak Landsberg metrics

In this paper, we discuss a class of Finsler metrics defined by a Riemannian metric and a 1-form on a manifold. We characterize weak Landsberg metrics in this class and show that there exist weak Landsberg metrics which are not Landsberg metrics in dimension greater than two.     

Examples of fuzzy metrics and applications

In this paper we present new examples of fuzzy metrics in the sense of George and Veeramani. The examples have been classified attending to their construction and most of the well-known fuzzy metrics are particular cases of those given here. In particular, novel fuzzy metrics, by means of fuzzy and classical metrics and certain special types of functions, are introduced. We also give an extension theorem for two fuzzy metrics that agree in its nonempty intersection. Finally, we give an application of this type of fuzzy metrics to color image processing. We propose a fuzzy metric that simultaneously takes into account two different distance criteria between color image pixels and we use this fuzzy metric to filter noisy images, obtaining promising results. This application is also illustrative of how fuzzy metrics can be used in other engineering problems.     

On a class of projectively Ricci-flat Finsler metrics

Every Finsler metric induces a spray on a manifold. With a volume form on a manifold, every spray can be deformed to a projective spray. The Ricci curvature of a projective spray is called the projective Ricci curvature. The projective Ricci curvature is an important projective invariant in Finsler geometry. In this paper, we study and characterize projectively Ricci-flat square metrics. Moreover, we construct some nontrivial examples on such Finsler metrics.     

A new class of projectively flat Finsler metrics with constant flag curvature K=1

In this paper, we consider a class of Finsler metrics which obtained by Kropina change of the class of generalized m-th root Finsler metrics. We classify projectively flat Finsler metrics in this class of metrics. Then under a condition, we show that every projectively flat Finsler metric in this class with constant flag curvature is locally Minkowskian. Finally, we find necessary and sufficient condition under which this class of metrics be locally dually flat.     

Projectively Flat Singular Square Metrics with Constant Flag Curvature

In this paper, we study and characterize locally projectively flat singular square metrics with constant flag curvature. First, we obtain the sufficient and necessary conditions that singular square metrics are locally projectively flat. Furthermore, we classify locally projectively flat singular square metrics with constant flag curvature completely.     

On Generalized Douglas–Weyl(α, β)-Metrics

In this paper, we study generalized Douglas–Weyl(α, β)-metrics. Suppose that a regular(α, β)-metric F is not of Randers type. We prove that F is a generalized Douglas–Weyl metric with vanishing S-curvature if and only if it is a Berwald metric. Moreover, by ignoring the regularity, if F is not a Berwald metric, then we find a family of almost regular Finsler metrics which is not Douglas nor Weyl. As its application, we show that generalized Douglas–Weyl square metric or Matsumoto metric with isotropic mean Berwald curvature are Berwald metrics.     

On some classes of projectively flat Finsler metrics with constant flag curvature

In this paper, we give the equivalent PDEs for projectively flat Finsler metrics with constant flag curvature defined by a Euclidean metric and two 1-forms. Furthermore, we construct some classes of new projectively flat Finsler metrics with constant flag curvature by solving these equivalent PDEs.     

Metrics on complex manifolds

In this note we discuss various canonical metrics on complex manifolds. A generalization of the Bergman metric is proposed and the relations of metrics on moduli spaces are commented. At last, we review some existence theorems of solutions to the Strominger system.
