焦距、刚度和曲率下限

Focal Radius, Rigidity, and Lower Curvature Bounds

Luis Guijarro, Frederick Wilhelm

摘要:

本文证明了截面曲率大于等于$1$的流形$M$中任意正维数子流形$N$的焦点半径不超过$N$。在等式的情况下,我们证明了$N$在$M$中是全测地的,并且只要$N$是闭的,则$M$的泛覆盖与球面或射影空间等距,并具有它们的标准度量。我们的结果也适用于$k^{th}$-中间Ricci曲率,提供了子流形的尺寸$\geq k.$因此,在一个流形与Ricci曲率$\geq n-1,$所有超曲面有焦点半径$\leq \frac{π}{2},$和空间形式是唯一的这样的流形的平等可以发生,如果子流形是封闭的。为了证明这些结果,我们开发了一个新的比较引理的Jacobi领域,利用威尔金的横向Jacobi方程。

英文摘要:

We show that the focal radius of any submanifold $N$ of positive dimension in a manifold $M$ with sectional curvature greater than or equal to $1$ does not exceed $\frac{π}{2}.$ In the case of equality, we show that $N$ is totally geodesic in $M$ and the universal cover of $M$ is isometric to a sphere or a projective space with their standard metrics, provided $N$ is closed. Our results also hold for $k^{th}$--intermediate Ricci curvature, provided the submanifold has dimension $\geq k.$ Thus in a manifold with Ricci curvature $\geq n-1,$ all hypersurfaces have focal radius $\leq \frac{π}{2},$ and space forms are the only such manifolds where equality can occur, if the submanifold is closed. To prove these results, we develop a new comparison lemma for Jacobi fields that exploits Wilking's transverse Jacobi equation.
