Best Sobolev Constants and Manifolds with Positive Scalar Curvature Metrics

We study the Yamabe invariant of manifolds which admit metrics of positive scalar curvature. Analysing `best Sobolev constants'we give a technique to find positive lower bounds for the invariant.We apply these ideas to show that for any compact Riemannian manifold (N ⁿ ,g) of positive scalarcurvature there is a positive constant K =K(N, g), which depends only on (N, g), such that for any compact manifold M ^m , the Yamabe invariantof M ^m × N ⁿ is no less than K times the invariant ofS ^{n + m} . We will find some estimates for the constant K in the case N =S ⁿ .

Asymptotic Fredholm Modules, Vector Bundles with Small Variation and a Nonvanishing Theorem for K-Theoretic Indices

We introduce the concept of asymptotic Fredholm module to prove a nonvanishing theorem for K theoretic indices of elliptic operators. The nonvanishing theorem is applied to study positive scalar curvature and spectrum of the Laplacian on noncompact manifolds.     

Kähler Surfaces of Positive Scalar Curvature

We construct Kähler metrics of positive scalar curvature on almost all blown-up ruled surfaces of arbitrary genus. The metrics have an explicit form on ruled surfaces blown up at most twice successively from a minimal model. Our surfaces are generic in the sense that they make up a dense set in the deformations of a given ruled surface.     

Manifolds with small Dirac eigenvalues are nilmanifolds

Consider the class of n-dimensional Riemannian spin manifolds with bounded sectional curvatures and bounded diameter, and almost non-negative scalar curvature. Let r = 1 if n = 2,3 and r = 2^[n/2]-1 + 1 if n ≥ 4. We show that if the square of the Dirac operator on such a manifold has r small eigenvalues, then the manifold is diffeomorphic to a nilmanifold and has trivial spin structure. Equivalently, if M is not a nilmanifold or if M is a nilmanifold with a non-trivial spin structure, then there exists a uniform lower bound on the r-th eigenvalue of the square of the Dirac operator. If a manifold with almost non-negative scalar curvature has one small Dirac eigenvalue, and if the volume is not too small, then we show that the metric is close to a Ricci-flat metric on M with a parallel spinor. In dimension 4 this implies that M is either a torus or a K3-surface.      

Hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature and constant mean curvature

Non-spherical hypersurfaces inE ⁴ with non-zero constant mean curvature and constant scalar curvature are the only hypersurfaces possessing the following property: Its position vector can be written as a sum of two non-constant maps, which are eigenmaps of the Laplacian operator with corresponding eigenvalues the zero and a non-zero constant.

The Scalar Curvature on Totally Geodesic Fiberings

We give a generalization of a theorem of Llarull concerning thebehaviour of the scalar curvature while perturbing the metric. In thispaper the following is shown: let Ñ N be a Riemannian submersion with totally geodesic fibre. IfÑ has the property that perturbingits metric towards a bigger one implies that there is a point onÑ where the perturbed scalarcurvature is less than the original one, then also the base manifoldN possesses this property. This result is applied to theprojective spaces.     

On Einstein Manifolds of Positive Sectional Curvature

Let (M, g) be a compact oriented four-dimensional Einstein manifold. If M has positive intersection form and g has non-negative sectional curvature, we show that, up to rescaling and isometry, (M, g) is ₂, with its standard Fubini–Study metric.     

单位球中的极小曲面

Let M be a closed surface with positive Gauss curvature minimally immersed in a standard Euclidean unit sphere S~n.In this paper,we choose a local orthonormal frame field on M,under which the shape operators have very convenient form.We also give some applications of this kind of frame field.
