黎曼流形关于其$L^2$度量的完备化

The Completion of the Manifold of Riemannian Metrics with Respect to its $L^2$ Metric

Brian Clarke

摘要:

这是作者的博士学位。论文,提交给莱比锡大学。它讨论了有限维固定闭流形上所有光滑黎曼度量的流形上的$L^2$黎曼度量。本文的主体是关于$L^2$度量的度量完备流形的描述。研究这个问题的主要动机来自Teichmueller理论,其中类似的考虑导致了著名的Weil-Petersson度量的完成。我们给出了主要定理在Teichmueller空间关于一类度量的完备化中的应用,推广了Weil-Petersson度量。我们还证明了$L^2$度量在度量流形上诱导出一个度量空间结构。由于$L^2$度量是一个弱黎曼度量,这一事实并不符合一般结果。此外,我们还证明了Hilbert/Frechet流形上弱黎曼度量的指数映射和距离函数的几个结果.这些陈述类似于有限维流形上的黎曼度量或希尔伯特流形上的强黎曼度量的情况,但比它们弱。

英文摘要:

This is the author's Ph.D. thesis, submitted to the University of Leipzig. It deals with the $L^2$ Riemannian metric on the manifold of all smooth Riemannian metrics on a fixed closed, finite-dimensional manifold. The main body of the thesis is a description of the completion manifold of metrics with respect to the $L^2$ metric. The primary motivation for studying this problem comes from Teichmueller theory, where similar considerations lead to a completion of the well-known Weil-Petersson metric. We give an application of the main theorem to the completions of Teichmueller space with respect to a class of metrics that generalize the Weil-Petersson metric. We also prove that the $L^2$ metric induces a metric space structure on the manifold of metrics. As the $L^2$ metric is a weak Riemannian metric, this fact does not follow from general results. In addition, we prove several results on the exponential mapping and distance function of a weak Riemannian metric on a Hilbert/Frechet manifold. The statements are analogous to, but weaker than, what is known in the case of a Riemannian metric on a finite-dimensional manifold or a strong Riemannian metric on a Hilbert manifold.
