Ricci flow on a 3-manifold with positive scalar curvature

In this paper we consider Hamilton's Ricci flow on a 3-manifold with a metric of positive scalar curvature. We establish several a priori estimates for the Ricci flow which we believe are important in understanding possible singularities of the Ricci flow. For Ricci flow with initial metric of positive scalar curvature, we obtain a sharp estimate on the norm of the Ricci curvature in terms of the scalar curvature (which is not trivial even if the initial metric has non-negative Ricci curvature, a fact which is essential in Hamilton's estimates [R.S. Hamilton, Three-manifolds with positive Ricci curvature, J. Differential Geom. 17 (1982) 255-306]), some L²-estimates for the gradients of the Ricci curvature, and finally the Harnack type estimates for the Ricci curvature. These results are established through careful (and rather complicated and lengthy) computations, integration by parts and the maximum principles for parabolic equations.

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].     

On the Ricci curvature of steady gradient Ricci solitons

Assume (Mn,g) is a complete steady gradient Ricci soliton with positive Ricci curvature. If the scalar curvature approaches 0 towards infinity, we prove that , where O is the point where R obtains its maximum and γ(s) is a minimal normal geodesic emanating from O. Some other results on the Ricci curvature are also obtained.     

Ricci Curvature of Certain Submanifolds in Kenmotsu Space Forms

In this paper, we obtain some sharp inequalities between the Ricci cur- vature and the squared mean curvature for bi-slant and semi-slant submanifolds in Kenmotsu space forms. Estimates of the scalar curvature and the k-Ricci curvature, in terms of the squared mean curvature, are also proved respectively.     

On Ricci curvature ofC-totally real submanifolds in Sasakian space forms

LetM ⁿ be a Riemanniann-manifold. Denote byS(p) and Ric(p) the Ricci tensor and the maximum Ricci curvature onM _n, respectively. In this paper we prove that everyC-totally real submanifold of a Sasakian space formM ^2m+1(c) satisfies , whereH ² andg are the square mean curvature function and metric tensor onM ⁿ, respectively. The equality holds identically if and only if eitherM ⁿ is totally geodesic submanifold or n = 2 andM ⁿ is totally umbilical submanifold. Also we show that if aC-totally real submanifoldM ⁿ ofM ²ⁿ⁺¹ (c) satisfies identically, then it is minimal.     

Smooth diameter and eigenvalue rigidity in positive Ricci curvature

A recent injectivity radius estimate and previous sphere theorems yield the following smooth diameter sphere theorem for manifolds of positive Ricci curvature: For any given and there exists a positive constant 0$">such that any -dimensional complete Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature , sectional curvature and diameter is Lipschitz close and diffeomorphic to the standard unit -sphere. A similar statement holds when the diameter is replaced by the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian.

Conformal vector fields on complete Finsler spaces of constant Ricci curvature

In this work, it is proved that if a complete Finsler manifold of positive constant Ricci curvature admits a solution to a certain ODE, then it is homeomorphic to the n-sphere. Next, a geometric meaning is obtained for solutions of this ODE, which is applicable to Einstein–Randers spaces. Moreover, some results on Finsler spaces admitting a special conformal vector field are obtained.     

Generalized Ejiri's Rigidity Theorem for Submanifolds in Pinched Manifolds

Let $M^{n}(n\geq4)$ be an oriented compact submanifold with parallel mean curvature in an $(n+p)$-dimensional complete simply connected Riemannian manifold $N^{n+p}$. Then there exists a constant $\delta(n,p)\in(0,1)$ such that if the sectional curvature of $N$ satisfies $\ov{K}_{N}\in[\delta(n,p), 1]$, and if $M$ has a lower bound for Ricci curvature and an upper bound for scalar curvature, then $N$ is isometric to $S^{n+p}$. Moreover, $M$ is either a totally umbilic sphere $S^n\big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+H^2}}\big)$, a Clifford hypersurface $S^{m}\big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2(1+H^2)}}\big)\times S^{m}\big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2(1+H^2)}}\big)$ in the totally umbilic sphere $S^{n+1}\big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+H^2}}\big)$ with $n=2m$, or $\mathbb{C}P^{2}\big(\frac{4}{3}(1+H^2)\big)$ in $S^7\big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+H^2}}\big)$. This is a generalization of Ejiri''s rigidity theorem.
