In this paper we produce families of Riemannian metrics with positive constant σ k -curvature equal to $2^{-k} {n \choose k}$ by performing the connected sum of two given compact nondegenerate n-dimensional solutions (M 1,g 1) and (M 2,g 2) of the (positive) σ k -Yamabe problem, provided 2≤2k<n. The problem is equivalent to solving a second-order fully nonlinear elliptic equation. 相似文献

-Yamabe equations are conformally invariant equations generalizing the classical Yamabe equation. In (J. Funct. Anal. 233:

to the σ

-Yamabe equation is asymptotically radially symmetric. In this work we prove that such a solution is asymptotic to a radial
solution to the same equation on ℝ

∖{0}. These results generalize earlier pioneering work in this direction on the classical Yamabe equation by Caffarelli, Gidas,
and Spruck. In extending the work of Caffarelli et al., we formulate and prove a general asymptotic approximation result for
solutions to certain ODEs which include the case for scalar curvature and σ
k
curvature cases. An alternative proof is also provided using analysis of the linearized operators at the radial solutions,
along the lines of approach in a work by Korevaar, Mazzeo, Pacard, and Schoen. 相似文献

As a corollary, on a four-manifold with non vanishing Euler characteristic, there is no such smooth

We show that a non-Sasakian contact metric manifold with η-parallel torsion tensor and sectional curvatures of plane sections containing the Reeb vector field different from 1 at some
point, is a (k, μ)-contact manifold. In particular for the standard contact metric structure of the tangent sphere bundle the torsion tensor
is η-parallel if and only if M is of constant curvature, in which case its associated pseudo-Hermitian structure is CR- integrable. Next we show that if
the metric of a non-Sasakian (k, μ)-contact manifold (M, g) is a gradient Ricci soliton, then (M, g) is locally flat in dimension 3, and locally isometric to E

For κ ⩾ 0 and r0 > 0 let ℳ(n, κ, r0) be the set of all connected, compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds (Mn, g) with Ricci (M, g) ⩾ −(n−1) κ g and Inj (M) ⩾ r0. We study the relation between the kth eigenvalue λk(M) of the Laplacian associated to (Mn,g), Δ = −div(grad), and the kth eigenvalue λk(X) of a combinatorial Laplacian associated to a discretization X of M. We show that there exist constants c, C > 0 (depending only on n, κ and r0) such that for all M ∈ ℳ(n, κ, r0) and X a discretization of
for all k < |X|. Then, we obtain the same kind of result for two compact manifolds M and N ∈ ℳ(n, κ, r0) such that the Gromov–Hausdorff distance between M and N is smaller than some η > 0. We show that there exist constants c, C > 0 depending on η, n, κ and r0 such that

In this paper we construct constant scalar curvature metrics on the generalized connected sum
M = M1 \sharpK M2{M = M_1 \, \sharp_K \, M_2} of two compact Riemannian scalar flat manifolds (M
1, g
1) and (M
2, g
2) along a common Riemannian submanifold (K, g
K
) whose codimension is ≥3. Here we present two constructions: the first one produces a family of “small” (in general nonzero)
constant scalar curvature metrics on the generalized connected sum of M
1 and M
2. It yields an extension of Joyce’s result for point-wise connected sums in the spirit of our previous issues for nonzero
constant scalar curvature metrics. When the initial manifolds are not Ricci flat, and in particular they belong to the (1+) class in the Kazdan–Warner classification, we refine the first construction in order to produce a family of scalar flat
metrics on M. As a consequence we get new solutions to the Einstein constraint equations on the generalized connected sum of two compact
time symmetric initial data sets, extending the Isenberg–Mazzeo–Pollack gluing construction. 相似文献

In this paper we construct a family of new (topologically distinct) solutions to the Einstein constraint equations by performing
the generalized connected sum (or fiber sum) of two known compact m-dimensional constant mean curvature solutions (M
1, g
1, Π1) and (M
2, g
2,Π2) along a common isometrically embedded k-dimensional sub-manifold (K, g
K
). Away from the gluing locus the metric and the second fundamental form of the new solutions can be chosen as close as desired
to the ones of the original solutions. The proof is essentially based on the conformal method and the geometric construction
produces a polyneck between M
1 and M
2 whose metric is modeled fiber-wise (i. e. along the slices of the normal fiber bundle of K) around a Schwarzschild metric; for these reasons the codimension n : = m − k of K in M
1 and M
2 is required to be ≥ 3. In this sense our result is a generalization of the Isenberg–Mazzeo–Pollack gluing, which works
for connected sum at points and in dimension 3. The solutions we obtain for the Einstein constraint equations can be used
to produce new short time vacuum solutions of the Einstein system on a Lorentzian (m + 1)-dimensional manifold, as guaranteed by a well known result of Choquet-Bruhat. 相似文献

Let (Mn, g) be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and dimensionn2. In this paper we discuss the first non-zero eigenvalue problem \begin{align}\Delta\varphi & = & 0\qquad & on\quad M,\\ \frac{\partial\varphi}{\partial \eta} & = & \ u_1\varphi\qquad & on\quad\partial M.\end{align}\eqno (1) Problem (1) is known as the Stekloff problem because it was introduced by him in 1902, for bounded domains of the plane. We discuss estimates of the eigenvalueν1in terms of the geometry of the manifold (Mn, g). In the two-dimensional case we generalize Payne's Theorem [P] for bounded domains in the plane to non-negative curvature manifolds. In this case we show thatν1k0, wherekgk0andkgrepresents the geodesic curvature of the boundary. In higher dimensionsn3 for non-negative Ricci curvature manifolds we show thatν1>k0/2, wherek0is a lower bound for any eigenvalue of the second fundamental form of the boundary. We introduce an isoperimetric constant and prove a Cheeger's type inequality for the Stekloff eigenvalue. 相似文献

In this note, we investigate upper bounds of the Neumann eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian of a domain Ω in a given complete
(not compact a priori) Riemannian manifold (M,g). For this, we use test functions for the Rayleigh quotient subordinated to a family of open sets constructed in a general
metric way, interesting for itself. As applications, we prove that if the Ricci curvature of (M,g) is bounded below Ric
g

>0 only depending on the dimension, such that
where λ
k
(Ω) (k∈ℕ*) denotes the k-th eigenvalue of the Neumann problem on any bounded domain Ω⊂M of volume V=Vol (Ω,g). Furthermore, this upper bound is clearly in agreement with the Weyl law. As a corollary, we get also an estimate which
is analogous to Buser’s upper bounds of the spectrum of a compact Riemannian manifold with lower bound on the Ricci curvature.

In this article, we prove new pinching theorems for the first eigenvalue λ1(M) of the Laplacian on compact hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space. These pinching results are associated with the upper bound
for λ1(M) in terms of higher order mean curvatures H

. We show that under a suitable pinching condition, the hypersurface is diffeomorpic and almost-isometric to a standard sphere.
Moreover, as a corollary, we show that a hypersurface of the Euclidean space which is almost-Einstein is diffeomorpic and
almost-isometric to a standard sphere.

Consider a compact Riemannian manifold (M, g) with metric g and dimension n ≥ 3. The Schouten tensor A
g
associated with g is a symmetric (0, 2)-tensor field describing the non-conformally-invariant part of the curvature tensor
of g. In this paper, we consider the elementary symmetric functions {σ
k
(A
g
), 1 ≤ k ≤ n} of the eigenvalues of A
g
with respect to g; we call σ
k
(A
g
) the k-th Schouten curvature function. We give an isometric classification for compact locally conformally flat manifolds which satisfy the conditions: A
g
is semi-positive definite and σ
k
(A
g
) is a nonzero constant for some k ∈ {2, ... , n}. If k = 2, we obtain a classification result under the weaker conditions that σ2(A
g
) is a non-negative constant and (M
n
, g) has nonnegative Ricci curvature. The corresponding result for the case k = 1 is well known. We also give an isometric classification for complete locally conformally flat manifolds with constant
scalar curvature and non-negative Ricci curvature.

Let M
i
X denote a sequence of n-manifolds converging to a compact metric space, X, in the Gromov-Hausdorff topology such that the sectional curvature is bounded in absolute value and dim(X)<n. We prove the following stability result: If the fundamental groups of M
i
are torsion groups of uniformly bounded exponents and the second twisted Betti numbers of M
i
vanish, then there is a manifold, M, and a sequence of diffeomorphisms from M to a subsequence of {M
i
} such that the distance functions of the pullback metrics converge to a pseudo-metric in C
0-norm. Furthermore, M admits a foliation with leaves diffeomorphic to flat manifolds (not necessarily compact) such that a vector is tangent to
a leaf if and only if its norm converges to zero with respect to the pullback metrics. These results lead to a few interesting
applications.

On a compact n ‐dimensional manifold M, it was shown that a critical point metric g of the total scalar curvature functional, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature of volume 1, satisfies the critical point equation ([5], p. 3222). In 1987 Besse proposed a conjecture in his book [1], p. 128, that a solution of the critical point equation is Einstein (Conjecture A, hereafter). Since then, number of mathematicians have contributed for the proof of Conjecture A and obtained many geometric consequences as its partial proofs. However, none has given its complete proof yet. The purpose of the present paper is to prove Theorem 1, stating that a compact 3‐dimensional manifold M is isometric to the round 3‐sphere S3 if ker s′*g ≠ 0 and its second homology vanishes. Note that this theorem implies that M is Einstein and hence that Conjecture A holds on a 3‐dimensional compact manifold under certain topological conditions (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

In this paper, it is shown that the first nonzero eigenvalue λ1 of the Laplacian operator on a compact immersed minimal hypersurface M in the unit sphere S n+1 satisfies one of the following $$ (i)\lambda _{1}=n, \quad (ii)\lambda _{1} \leq (1+k_{0})n, \quad (iii)\lambda _{1}\geq n+\frac{n}{2}(nk_{0}-(n-1))$$ where k 0 is the infimum of the sectional curvatures of M. It is also shown that a compact immersed minimal hypersurface of the unit sphere S n+1 with λ1?=?n is either isometric to the unit sphere S n or else k 0?<?n ?1(n?1). 相似文献
