Fundamental Groups of Manifolds with Positive Sectional Curvature and Torus Symmetry

In 1965, Chern posed a question concerning the extent to which fundamental groups of manifolds admitting positive sectional curvature look like spherical space form groups. The original question was answered in the negative by Shankar in 1998, but there are a number of positive results in the presence of symmetry. These classifications fall into categories according to the strength of their conclusions. We give an overview of these results in the case of torus symmetry and prove new results in each of these categories.

Compact Manifolds with Positive Einstein Curvature

In this paper we study positive Einstein curvature which is a condition on the Riemann curvature tensor intermediate between positive scalar curvature and positive sectional curvature. We prove some constructions and obstructions for positive Einstein curvature on compact manifolds generalizing similar well known results for the scalar curvature. Finally, because our problem is relatively new, many open questions are included.     

Cohomogeneity Two Actions on Flat Riemannian Manifolds

In this paper, we study flat Riemannian manifolds which have codimension two orbits, under the action of a closed and connected Lie group G of isometries. We assume that G has fixed points, then characterize M and orbits of M.     

Finsler Manifolds with Positive Constant Flag Curvature

It is shown that a Finsler metric with positive constant flag curvature and vanishing mean tangent curvature must be Riemannian. As applications, we also discuss the case of Cheng's maximal diameter theorem and Green's maximal conjugate radius theorem in Finsler manifolds.     

Transitive Actions on Lorentz Manifolds with Noncompact Stabilizer

If a topological group G acts on a topological space X, then we say that the action is orbit nonproper provided that, for some xX, the orbit map ggx:GX is nonproper. We consider the problem of classifying the connected, simply connected real Lie groups G admitting a locally faithful, orbit nonproper, isometric action on a connected Lorentz manifold. In an earlier paper, we found three collections of groups such that G admits such an action iff G is in one of the three collections. In another paper, we effectively described the first collection. In this paper, we show that the second collection contains a small, effectively described collection of groups, and, aside from those, it is contained in the union of the first and third collections. Finally, in a third paper, we effectively describe the third collection, thus solving the stated problem.     

Flat Riemannian Manifolds as Torus Bundles

Vasquez showed that for any finite group G there exists a number n(G) such that for every flat Riemannian manifold M with holonomy group G there exists a fiber bundle T → M → N, where T is a flat torus and N is a flat manifold of dimension less than or equal to n(G). We show that n(H) ≤ n(G) if H Δ leftG or G = N ? H and use this result to describe groups with the Vasquez number equal to 2 or 3.     

Holomorphic Vector Bundle on Hopf Manifolds with Abelian Fundamental Groups

Let X be a Hopf manifolds with an Abelian fundamental group. E is a holomorphic vector bundle of rank r with trivial pull-back to W = ℂ ⁿ –{0}. We prove the existence of a non-vanishing section of L⊗E for some line bundle on X and study the vector bundles filtration structure of E. These generalize the results of D. Mall about structure theorem of such a vector bundle E. The research was supported by 973 Project Foundation of China and the Outstanding Youth Science Grant of NSFC (grant no. 19825105)

Hardy Spaces and bmo on Manifolds with Bounded Geometry

We develop the theory of the “local” Hardy space and John-Nirenberg space when M is a Riemannian manifold with bounded geometry, building on the classic work of Fefferman-Stein and subsequent material, particularly of Goldberg and Ionescu. Results include – duality, L ^p estimates on an appropriate variant of the sharp maximal function, and bmo-Sobolev spaces, and action of a natural class of pseudodifferential operators, including a natural class of functions of the Laplace operator, in a setting that unifies these results with results on L ^p -Sobolev spaces. We apply results on these topics to some interpolation theorems, motivated in part by the search for dispersive estimates for wave equations.

A Note on Diffeomorphism Groups of Closed Manifolds

In this short note, we construct a retracting deformation from group of orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms onto the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphismsof a compact smooth manifold. The retracting deformation isrealized by a moment map type of flow with the aid of the theory of quasi-linear parabolic equations.

The Length of a Shortest Closed Geodesic on a Two-Dimensional Sphere and Coverings by Metric Balls

In this paper we will present upper bounds for the length of a shortest closed geodesic on a manifold M diffeomorphic to the standard two-dimensional sphere. The first result is that the length of a shortest closed geodesic l(M) is bounded from above by 4r , where r is the radius of M . (In particular that means that l(M) is bounded from above by 2d, when M can be covered by a ball of radius d/2, where d is the diameter of M.) The second result is that l(M) is bounded from above by 2( max{r₁,r₂}+r₁+r₂), when M can be covered by two closed metric balls of radii r₁,r₂ respectively. For example, if r₁ = r₂= d/2 , thenl(M) 3d. The third result is that l(M) 2(max{r₁,r₂r₃}+r₁+r₂+r₃), when M can be covered by three closed metric balls of radii r₁,r₂,r₃. Finally, we present an estimate for l(M) in terms of radii of k metric balls covering M, where k 3, when these balls have a special configuration.

Closed Geodesics in Homology Classes for Convex Co-Compact Hyperbolic Manifolds

Let be a convex co-compact, torsion-free, discrete group of isometries of real hyperbolic space H ⁿ⁺¹. We compute the asymptotics of the counting function for closed geodesics in homology classes for the quotient manifold X = \H ⁿ⁺¹, under the assumption that H ¹(X, Z) is infinite. Our results imply asymptotic equipartition of geodesics in distinct homology classes.
