扰动3-球面中广义全脐2-球面的存在性

Existence of generalized totally umbilic 2-spheres in perturbed 3-spheres

Alessandro Carlotto, Andrea Mondino

摘要:

最近,R。Souam和E. Toubiana认为(非恒定弯曲的)Berger球不包含完全脐面。然而,在这篇文章中,我们表明,通过微扰的参数,所有的分析度量足够接近圆度量$g_{0}$ $\mathbb{S}^{3}$拥有\textsl{generalized}完全脐2-球,即临界点的共形Willmore功能$\int_Σ|A^\circ|^{2}\,dμ_γ$。在光滑情形下,只要在无迹Ricci张量上设置一个适当的非简并条件,也是如此。证明涉及两种不同的有限维约化方案的粘合过程,小半径扰动脐球上泛函的尖锐渐近分析和定量Schur型引理,以处理无迹Ricci张量退化但不恒为零的情况。对于$SU(2)\cong \mathbb{S}^{3}$上的左不变度量,我们的结果意味着存在不可数的许多不同的Willmore球。

英文摘要:

It was recently shown by R. Souam and E. Toubiana that the (non constantly curved) Berger spheres do not contain totally umbilic surfaces. Nevertheless in this article we show, by perturbative arguments, that all analytic metrics sufficiently close to the round metric $g_{0}$ on $\mathbb{S}^{3}$ possess \textsl{generalized} totally umbilic 2-spheres, namely critical points of the conformal Willmore functional $\int_Σ|A^\circ|^{2}\,dμ_γ$. The same is true in the smooth setting provided a suitable non-degeneracy condition on the traceless Ricci tensor holds. The proof involves a gluing process of two different finite-dimensional reduction schemes, a sharp asymptotic analysis of the functional on perturbed umbilic spheres of small radius and a quantitative Schur-type Lemma in order to treat the cases when the traceless Ricci tensor of the perturbation is degenerate but not identically zero. For left-invariant metrics on $SU(2)\cong \mathbb{S}^{3}$ our result implies the existence of uncountably many distinct Willmore spheres.
