Comparison theorems on Finsler manifolds with weighted Ricci curvature bounded below

We obtain the Laplacian comparison theorem and the Bishop-Gromov comparison theorem on a Finsler manifold with the weighted Ricci curvature Ric_∞ bounded below. As applications, we prove that if the weighted Ricci curvature Ric_∞ is bounded below by a positive number, then the manifold must have finite fundamental group, and must be compact if the distortion is also bounded. Moreover, we give the Calabi-Yau linear volume growth theorem on a Finsler manifold with nonnegative weighted Ricci curvature.     

An isometrical CPn-theorem

Let M^n(n\ge \mathrm{3}) be a complete Riemannian manifold with {{\displaystyle \sec ?}}_M\ge \mathrm{1}, and let {{\displaystyle M}}_i^{{{\displaystyle n}}_i}(i=\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2}) be two complete totally geodesic submanifolds in M. We prove that if n₁ + n₂ = n − 2 and if the distance \left|{{\displaystyle M}}_{\mathrm{1}}{{\displaystyle M}}_{\mathrm{2}}\right|\ge \pi /\mathrm{2}, then M_i is isometric to {\mathbb{S}}^{{{\displaystyle n}}_i}/{{\displaystyle \mathrm{?}}}_h,{\mathrm{?}\mathrm{P}}^{{{\displaystyle n}}_i/\mathrm{2}}/{{\displaystyle \mathrm{?}}}_{\mathrm{2}}, or {\mathrm{?}\mathrm{P}}^{{{\displaystyle n}}_i/\mathrm{2}}/{{\displaystyle \mathrm{?}}}_{\mathrm{2}} with the canonical metric when n_i>0, and thus, M is isometric to {\mathbb{S}}^n/{{\displaystyle \mathrm{?}}}_h,{\mathrm{?}\mathrm{P}}^{n/\mathrm{2}}, or {\mathrm{?}\mathrm{P}}^{n/\mathrm{2}}/{{\displaystyle \mathrm{?}}}_{\mathrm{2}} except possibly when n = 3 and M₁ (or M₂) \stackrel{\mathrm{i}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{o}}{{\displaystyle \cong }}{\mathbb{S}}^{\mathrm{1}}/{{\displaystyle \mathrm{?}}}_h with h\ge \mathrm{2} or n = 4 and M₁ (or M₂) \stackrel{\mathrm{i}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{o}}{{\displaystyle \cong }}\mathrm{?}{\mathrm{P}}^{\mathrm{2}}.     

Compression-induced stiffness in the buckling of a one fiber composite

We study the buckling of a one fiber composite whose matrix stiffness is slightly dependent on the compressive force. We show that the equilibrium curves of the system exhibit a limit load when the induced stiffness parameter gets bigger than a threshold. This limit load increases when the stiffness parameter is increasing and it is related to a possible localized path in the post-buckling domain. Such a change in the maximum load may be very desirable from a structural stand point.     

Injectivity radius bound of Ricci flow with positive Ricci curvature and applications

We study the injectivity radius bound for 3-d Ricci flow with bounded curvature. As applications, we show the long time existence of the Ricci flow with positive Ricci curvature and with curvature decay condition at infinity. We partially settle a question of Chow-Lu-Ni [Hamilton’s Ricci Flow, p. 302].

Complete noncompact manifolds with harmonic curvature

Let (M ⁿ , g) be an n-dimensional complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with harmonic curvature and positive Sobolev constant. In this paper, by employing an elliptic estimation method, we show that (M ⁿ , g) is a space form if it has sufficiently small L ^n/2-norms of trace-free curvature tensor and nonnegative scalar curvature. Moreover, we get a gap theorem for (M ⁿ , g) with positive scalar curvature.     

Vortex of Fluid Field as Viewed from Curvature

The vortex is a common phenomenon in fluid field. In this paper, vortex can be represented by curvature c, which varies with arc length s. The variance of point (x,y) with arc length in stream line satisfies a 2-order variable-coefficient linear ordinary differential equation. The type vortex can be analyzed qualitatively by this ordinary differential equation.     

Scalar Flat Metrics of Eguchi- Hanson Type

We use a new method to construct a class of asymptotically locally flat, scalar flat metrics. These metrics were constructed via algebraic geometry method by LeBrun before and provide counterexamples to the generalized positive action conjecture of Hawking and Pope.     

Solitary Wave and Wave Front as Viewed From Curvature

The solitary wave and wave front are two important behaviors of nonlinear evolution equations. Geometrically, solitary wave and wave front are all plane curve. In this paper, they can be represented in terms of curvature c(s), which varies with arc length s. For solitary wave when s → ±∞, then its curvature c(s) approaches zero, and when s=0, the curvature c(s) reaches its maximum. For wave front, when s → ±∞, then its curvature c(s) approaches zero, and when s=0, the curvature c(s) is still zero, but c'(s) ≠ 0. That is, s=0 is a turning point. When c(s) is given, the variance at some point (x,y) in stream line with arc length s satisfies a 2-order linear variable-coefficient ordinary differential equation. From this equation, it can be determined qualitatively whether the given curvature is a solitary wave or wave front.
