In this paper we discuss the behavior of the curvature lines of a transversal eqüiaffine vector field along a surface in $3$-space at isolated umbilical points.
Let $(M,g_M,\mathcal F)$ be a closed, connected Riemannian manifold with a Riemannian foliation $\mathcal F$ of nonzero constant transversal scalar curvature. When $M$ admits a transversal nonisometric conformal field, we find some generalized conditions that $\mathcal F$ is transversally isometric to the sphere.
In this paper we present the algorithms for calculating the differential geometric properties {t,n,b1,b2,b3,k1,k2,k3,k4} along-with geodesic curvature and geodesic torsion of the transversal intersection curve of four hypersurfaces (given by parametric representation) in Euclidean space R^5. In transversal intersection the normals of the surfaces at the intersection point are linearly independent, while as in nontransversal intersection the normals of the surfaces at the intersection point are linearly dependent.
In this paper we study curvature types of immersed surfaces in three-dimensional (normed or) Minkowski spaces. By endowing the surface with a normal vector field, which is a transversal vector field given by the ambient Birkhoff orthogonality, we get an analogue of the Gauss map. Then we can define concepts of principal, Gaussian, and mean curvatures in terms of the eigenvalues of the differential of this map. Considering planar sections containing the normal field, we also define normal curvatures at each point of the surface, and with respect to each tangent direction. We investigate the rel…
Let $\mathfrak{M}(Σ)$ be an open and connected subset of the space of hyperbolic metrics on a closed orientable surface, and $\mathfrak{M}(M)$ an open and connected subset of the space of metrics on an orientable manifold of dimension at least $3$. We impose conditions on $M$ and $\mathfrak{M}(M)$, which are often satisfied when the metrics in $\mathfrak{M}(M)$ have non-positive curvature. Under these conditions, the data of a homotopy class of maps from $Σ$ to $M$ gives $\mathfrak{M}(Σ)\times \mathfrak{M}(M)$ the structure of a space of harmonic maps. Using transversality theory for Banach ma…
On a compact foliated Riemannian manifold with some transversal curvature conditions, there are no nontrivial basic harmonic forms (M. Min-Oo et al., J. Reine Angew. Math. 415 (1991). In this paper, we extend the above facts to a complete foliated Riemannian manifold.
In this paper, we investigate the preservability of the curvature-adaptedness along the mean curvature flow starting from a compact curvature-adapted hypersurface in locally symmetric spaces, where the curvature-adaptedness means that the shape operator and the normal Jacobi operator of the hypersurface commute.
In this paper, we construct Delaunay type constant mean curvature surfaces along a nondegenerate closed geodesic in a 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold.
In this paper, we derive the evolution equation for the first eigenvalue of the Witten-Laplace operator acting on the space of functions along the mean curvature flow on a closed oriented manifold. We show some interesting monotonic quantities under the mean curvature flow.
We construct weak solutions for the evolution of hypersurfaces along their inverse space-time mean curvature in asymptotically flat maximal initial data sets. As the speed of the new flow is given by a space-time invariant, it can detect both future- and past-trapped apparent horizons. The weak solution extends concepts developed by Huisken-Ilmanen for inverse mean curvature flow and by Moore for inverse null mean curvature flow.
We study the evolution of the Whitney sphere along the Lagrangian mean curvature flow. We show that equivariant Lagrangian spheres in $\mathbb{C}^n$ satisfying mild geometric assumptions collapse to a point in finite time and the tangent flows converge to a Lagrangian plane with multiplicity two.
In this article, we consider compact surfaces $Σ$ having constant mean curvature $H$ ($H$-surfaces) whose boundary $Γ=\partialΣ\subset \mathbb{M}_0= \mathbb{M} \times_f\{0\}$ is transversal to the slice $\mathbb{M}_0$ of the warped product $ \mathbb{M}\times_f\mathbb{R} $, here $ \mathbb{M} $ denotes a Hadamard surface. We obtain height estimate for a such surface $Σ$ having positive constant mean curvature involving the area of a part of $Σ$ above of $ \mathbb{M} _0$ and the volume it bounds. Also we give general conditions for the existence of rotationally-invariant topological spheres havin…
Let $D$ be a smooth divisor in a compact complex manifold $X$ and let $β\in (0,1)$. We show that in any positive co-homology class on $X$ there is a Kähler metric with cone angle $2πβ$ along $D$ which has bounded Ricci curvature. We use this result together with the Aubin-Yau continuity method to give an alternative proof of a well-known existence theorem for Kahler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities.
In this paper, we study Ricci flow on compact manifolds with a continuous initial metric. It was known from Simon that the Ricci flow exists for a short time. We prove that the scalar curvature lower bound is preserved along the Ricci flow if the initial metric has a scalar curvature lower bound in distributional sense provided that the initial metric is $W^{1,p}$ for some $n<p\le \infty$. As an application, we use this result to study the relation between Yamabe invariant and Ricci flat metrics. We prove that if the Yamabe invariant is nonpositive and the scalar curvature is nonnegative in di…
A dynamical interpretation of the profile curve of cmc Twizzlers surfaces
众所周知,对于任何非零的$M in (-1/4,infty)$,如果我们在平面中的一条直线上滚动二次曲线{(x,y):4 x^2-y^2/M}=1},然后我们围绕这条直线旋转焦点的轨迹,那么我们获得具有中曲率1的旋转曲面D(M)。当M<=0时,D(M)是嵌入的,称之为波状体;当M>0时,D(M)不是嵌入的,称之为结节体。这些表面被称为Delaunay,它们由圆组成。上述结构中焦点的轨迹称为Delaunay轮廓曲线,它横切于圆。另一个众所周知的家庭恒定的中曲率表面是Twizzlers,他们是叶状的螺旋线,我们可以自然地定义一个轮廓曲线是横向的螺旋线。为了使本摘要中的演示更容易,我们将只考虑中曲率为1的Twizzlers。在本文中,我们将证明,如果我们在平面中的一条线上滚动Twizzler的轮廓曲线,并且同时,我们以相同的速度移动该线中的点,使得轮廓曲线的滚动运动看起来像是放置在跑步机上,那么,由轮廓曲线的原点形成的轨迹是闭合心形曲线HS(M,w)={(x,y):x^2+y^2+y/(1+ w^2x^2)=M},其中M>-1/4且w>0。利用这种动力学解释,我们将证明Twizzlers的几个性质
Let $L_t$ be a zero Maslov, rational Lagrangian mean curvature flow in a compact Calabi-Yau surface, and suppose that at the first singular time a tangent flow is given by the static union of two transverse planes. We show that in this case the tangent flow is unique, and that the flow can be continued past the singularity as an immersed, smooth, zero Maslov, rational Lagrangian mean curvature flow. Furthermore, if $L_0$ is a sphere that is stable in the sense of Thomas-Yau, then such a singularity cannot form.
We give a new proof of the uniformization theorem of the leaves of a lamination by surfaces of hyperbolic conformal type. We use a laminated version of the Ricci flow to prove the existence of a laminated Riemannian metric (smooth on the leaves, transversaly continuous) with leaves of constant Gaussian curvature equal to -1, which is conformally equivalent to the original metric.
In this note, we establish a local maximum principle along Ricci flow under scaling invariant curvature condition. This unifies the known preservation of nonnegativity results along Ricci flow with unbounded curvature. By combining with the Dirichlet heat kernel estimates, we also give a more direct proof of Hochard's localized version of a maximum principle given by R. Bamler, E. Cabezas-Rivas, and B. Wilking on the lower bound of curvature conditions.
In this short paper, we study a symmetric covariant tensor in Finsler geometry, which is called the mean Berwald curvature. We first investigate the geometry of the fibres as the submanifolds of the tangent sphere bundle on a Finsler manifold. Then we prove that if the mean Berwald curvature is isotropic along fibres, then the Berwald scalar curvature is constant along fibres.
In this paper, we discuss centroaffine geometry of polygons in $3$-space. For a polygon $X$ that is locally convex with respect to an origin together with a transversal vector field $U$, we define the centroaffine dual pair $(Y,V)$ similarly to [6]. We prove that vertices of $(X,U)$ correspond to flattening points for $(Y,V)$ and also that constant curvature polygons are dual to planar polygons. As an application, we give a new proof of a known $4$ flattening points theorem for spatial polygons.
We construct examples of spherical space forms $(S^3/Γ,g)$ with positive scalar curvature and containing no stable embedded minimal surfaces, such that the following happens along the Ricci flow starting at $(S^3/Γ,g)$: a stable embedded minimal two-sphere appears and a non-trivial singularity occurs. We also give in dimension $3$ a general contruction of Type I neckpinching and clarify the relationship between stable spheres and non-trivial Type I singularities of the Ricci flow. Some symmetry assumptions prevent the appearance of stable spheres, and this has consequences on the types of sing…
In this paper we prove a local curvature estimate for the $κ$-LYZ flow over Kähler manifolds introduced in [FGP1] and [LYZ]. In particular, we generalize the long time existence of the flow.
In this note we study a positivity notion for the curvature of the Bismut connection; more precisely, we study the notion of \emph{Bismut-Griffiths-positivity} for complex Hermitian non-Kähler manifolds. Since the Kähler-Ricci flow preserves and regularizes the usual Griffiths positivity we investigate the behaviour of the Bismut-Griffiths-positivity under the action of the Hermitian curvature flows. In particular we study two concrete classes of examples, namely, linear Hopf manifolds and six-dimensional Calabi-Yau solvmanifolds with holomorphically-trivial canonical bundle. From these exampl…
We investigate the scalar curvature behavior along the normalized conical Kähler-Ricci flow $ω_t$, which is the conic version of the normalized Kähler-Ricci flow, with finite maximal existence time $T<\infty $. We prove that the scalar curvature of $ω_t$ is bounded from above by $C/(T-t)^2$ under the existence of a contraction associated to the limiting cohomology class $[ω_T]$. This generalizes Z. Zhang's work to the conic case.
In this paper, we consider the stability of quermassintegral inequalities along a inverse curvature flow. We choose a special rescaling of the flow such that the $k$-th quermassintegral is decreasing and the $k-1$-th quermassintegral is preserved. Along this rescaled flow, we prove that the decreasing rate of the $k$-th quermassintegral is faster than the Fraenkel asymmetry of the domain when approaching to the sphere. This leads to the stability inequality of quermassintegral inequalities for nearly spherical sets using the flow method.
We study the scalar curvature of Kähler metrics that have cone singularities along a divisor, with a particular focus on certain specific classes of such metrics that enjoy some curvature estimates. Our main result is that, on the projective completion of a pluricanonical bundle over a product of Kähler--Einstein Fano manifolds with the second Betti number 1, momentum-constructed constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics with cone singularities along the $\infty$-section exist if and only if the log Futaki invariant vanishes on the fibrewise $\mathbb{C}^*$-action, giving a supporting evidence t…
We show that on compact Riemann surfaces of nonpositive curvature, the generalized periods, i.e. the $ν$-th order Fourier coefficients of eigenfunctions $e_λ$ over a closed smooth curve $γ$ which satisfies a natural curvature condition, go to 0 at the rate of $O((\logλ)^{-1/2})$, if $0<|ν|/λ<1-δ$, for any fixed $0<δ<1$. Our result implies, for instance, the generalized periods over geodesic circles on any surfaces with nonpositive curvature would converge to zero at the rate of $O((\logλ)^{-1/2})$. A direct corollary of our results and the QER theorem of Toth and Zelditch is that for a geodesi…
In this paper we characterize planar central configurations in terms of a sectional curvature value of the Jacobi-Maupertuis metric. This characterization works for the $N$-body problem with general masses and any $1/r^α$ potential with $α> 0$. We also observe dynamical consequences of these curvature values for relative equilibrium solutions. These curvature methods work well for strong forces ($α\ge 2$).
This paper defines a parabolic frequency for solutions of the heat equation along homothetically shrinking mean curvature flows and proves its monotonicity along such flows. As a corollary, frequency monotonicity provides a proof of backwards uniqueness. Additionally, for solutions of more general parabolic equations on mean curvature flow shrinkers, this paper provides bounds on the derivative of the frequency, which similarly imply backwards uniqueness.
