In this paper we prove that, under an explicit integral pinching assumption between the L2-norm of the Ricci curvature and the L2-norm of the scalar curvature, a closed 3-manifold with positive scalar curvature admits a conformal metric of positive Ricci curvature. In particular, using a result of Hamilton, this implies that the manifold is diffeomorphic to a quotient of S3. The proof of the main result of the paper is based on ideas developed in an article by M. Gursky and J. Viaclovsky. 相似文献

We study a new class of real hypersurfaces called Light-like CR hypersurfaces, of indefinite Kahler manifolds, and claim several new results of geometrical/physical significance. In particular, we show that our study has a direct relation with the physically important asymptotically flat spacetimes; which further lead to the Twistor theory of Penrose and the Heaven theory of Newman. As the induced connection, on the degenerate hypersurface, may not be a metric connection, we overcome this difficulty by using differential geometric technique and deduce the embedding conditions called Gauss-Codazzi equations. Finally, we find the integrability conditions for all the possible distributions and specialize the embedding conditions when the ambient space is a complex space form. We add to the list of totally umbilical nondegenerate hypersurfaces [16] the totally umbilical light-like cone, in the degenerate case, and prove the nonexistence of totally umbilical light-like CR hypersurfaces in ¯M(c) withc 0 (see Yano and Kon [22] and Tashiro and Tachibana [20] for the nondegenerate case). 相似文献

Almost hypercomplex pseudo-Hermitian manifolds are considered. Isotropic hyper-K?hler manifolds are introduced. A 4-parametric
family of 4-dimensional manifolds of this type is constructed on a Lie group. This family is characterized geometrically.
The condition a 4-manifold to be isotropic hyper-K?hler is given.

We consider tensors T=fg on the pseudo-euclidean space Rn and on the hyperbolic space Hn, where n?3, g is the standard metric and f is a differentiable function. For such tensors, we consider, in both spaces, the problems of existence of a Riemannian metric , conformal to g, such that , and the existence of such a metric which satisfies , where is the scalar curvature of . We find the restrictions on the Ricci candidate for solvability and we construct the solutions when they exist. We show that these metrics are unique up to homothety, we characterize those globally defined and we determine the singularities for those which are not globally defined. None of the non-homothetic metrics , defined on Rn or Hn, are complete. As a consequence of these results, we get positive solutions for the equation , where g is the pseudo-euclidean metric. 相似文献

We consider three-dimensional unimodular Lie groups equipped with a Lorentzian metric and we determine, for all of them, their
sets of homogeneous geodesics through a point.

We study Ricci flat 4-metrics of any signature under the assumption that they allow a Lie algebra of Killing fields with 2-dimensional orbits along which the metric degenerates and whose orthogonal distribution is not integrable. It turns out that locally there is a unique (up to a sign) metric which satisfies the conditions. This metric is of signature (++−−) and, moreover, homogeneous possessing a 6-dimensional symmetry algebra. 相似文献

We show that a three-dimensional contact metric manifold is locally homogeneous if and only if it is ball-homogeneous and
satisfies the condition ∇ξτ=2aτϕ, with a constant. Then, we relate the condition ∇ξτ=0 with the existence of taut contact circles on a compact three-dimensional contact metric manifold.

Blair [5] has introduced special directions on a contact metric 3-manifolds with negative sectional curvature for plane sections containing the characteristic vector field and, when is Anosov, compared such directions with the Anosov directions. In this paper we introduce the notion of Anosov-like special directions on a contact metric 3-manifold. Such directions exist, on contact metric manifolds with negative -Ricci curvature, if and only if the torsion is -parallel, namely (1.1) is satisfied. If a contact metric 3-manifold M admits Anosov-like special directions, and is -parallel, where is the Berger-Ebin operator, then is Anosov and the universal covering of M is the Lie group
(2,R). We note that the notion of Anosov-like special directions is related to that of conformally Anosow flow introduced in [9] and [14] (see [6]).Supported by funds of the M.U.R.S.T. and of the University of Lecce. 1991. 相似文献

We obtain criteria for the harmonicity of the Gauss map of submanifolds in the Heisenberg group and consider the examples demonstrating the connection between the harmonicity of this map and the properties of the mean curvature field. Also, we introduce a natural class of cylindrical submanifolds and prove that a constant mean curvature hypersurface with harmonic Gauss map is cylindrical. 相似文献

Schur's theorem states that an isotropic Riemannian manifold of dimension greater than two has constant curvature. It is natural
to guess that compact almost isotropic Riemannian manifolds of dimension greater than two are close to spaces of almost constant
curvature. We take the curvature anisotropy as the discrepancy of the sectional curvatures at a point. The main result of
this paper is that Riemannian manifolds in Cheeger's class ℜ(n,d,V,A) withL
1-small integral anisotropy haveL

results are based on the generalization of Schur' theorem to metric spaces. 相似文献

Isometric immersions with parallel pluri-mean curvature (“ppmc”) in euclidean n-space generalize constant mean curvature (“cmc”) surfaces to higher dimensional Kähler submanifolds. Like cmc surfaces they allow a one-parameter family of isometric deformations rotating the second fundamental form at each point. If these deformations are trivial the ppmc immersions are called isotropic. Our main result drastically restricts the intrinsic geometry of such a submanifold: Locally, it must be a symmetric space or a Riemannian product unless the immersion is holomorphic or a superminimal surface in a sphere. We can give a precise classification if the codimension is less than 7. The main idea of the proof is to show that the tangent holonomy is restricted and to apply the Berger-Simons holonomy theorem. 相似文献

We discuss the question whether a (complete) parallel submanifold M of a Riemannian symmetric space N is an (extrinsically) homogeneous submanifold, i.e. whether there exists a subgroup of the isometries of N which acts transitively on M. In a previous paper, we have discussed this question in case the universal covering space of M is irreducible. It is the subject of this paper to generalize this result to the case when the universal covering space of M has no Euclidian factor. 相似文献

Contact hypersurfaces of a Kaehler manifold have been
characterized and classified, assuming the second fundamental form to be
Codazzi (in particular, parallel). We have also discussed the special
cases when the ambient space is a (i) Calabi-Yau manifold and (ii) a
complex space-form. 相似文献

We study a 2-dimensional manifold that admits a homogeneous action of a 3-dimensional Lie group G, and has a 2-form invariant under G. We show that such a manifold can be realized as a surface in the affine 3-space, and list such realizations.

We study three-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifolds having distinct constant principal Ricci curvatures. These spaces are described via a system of differential equations, and a simple characterization is proved to hold for the locally homogeneous ones. We then generalize the technique used in [O. Kowalski, F. Prüfer, On Riemannian 3-manifolds with distinct constant Ricci eigenvalues, Math. Ann. 300 (1994) 17-28] for Riemannian manifolds and construct explicitly homogeneous and non-homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian metrics in R3, having the prescribed principal Ricci curvatures. 相似文献

Let (Mn,g), n?3, be a smooth closed Riemannian manifold with positive scalar curvature Rg. There exists a positive constant C=C(M,g) defined by mean curvature of Euclidean isometric immersions, which is a geometric invariant, such that Rg?n(n−1)C. In this paper we prove that Rg=n(n−1)C if and only if (Mn,g) is isometric to the Euclidean sphere Sn(C) with constant sectional curvature C. Also, there exists a Riemannian metric g on Mn such that the scalar curvature satisfies the pinched condition
