通过洛伦兹几何研究特殊黎曼度量的障碍

Obstructions to distinguished Riemannian metrics via Lorentzian geometry

Amir Babak Aazami

AI总结:

本研究借助洛伦兹几何的对偶框架,通过平面波极限得到特殊黎曼度量的局部必要条件,并利用Wick旋转排除了一类偏离常曲率的紧致黎曼流形的存在性,为黎曼度量的曲率障碍研究提供了新方法。

摘要:

我们通过研究在适当意义下与黎曼度量对偶的洛伦兹度量,来探究寻找曲率特殊的黎曼度量的存在障碍这一问题。对洛伦兹度量的存在障碍可相应推导出黎曼度量的存在障碍。该框架既适用于局部情形也适用于全局情形(包括紧致流形),且对曲率的多方面性质均敏感。本文以两种不同方式应用该框架:第一,通过将黎曼流形嵌入洛伦兹流形,并利用Penrose的“平面波极限”方法,我们得到了用单个函数的Hessian表述的局部必要条件,适用于判断大类黎曼度量中是否包含具有平行Ricci张量、Ricci平坦或局部对称性质的度量;第二,通过研究经一类Wick旋转与常曲率洛伦兹度量对偶的黎曼度量,我们能够排除一族(所有维数下的)紧致黎曼流形的存在性,这类流形在精确意义下偏离常曲率。

英文摘要:

We approach the problem of finding obstructions to curvature distinguished Riemannian metrics by considering Lorentzian metrics to which they are dual in a suitable sense. Obstructions to the latter then yield obstructions to the former. This framework applies both locally and globally, including to compact manifolds, and is sensitive to various aspects of curvature. Here we apply it in two different ways. First, by embedding a Riemannian manifold into a Lorentzian one and utilizing Penrose's "plane wave limit," we find necessary local conditions, in terms of the Hessian of just one function, for large classes of Riemannian metrics to contain within them those that have parallel Ricci tensor, or are Ricci-flat, or are locally symmetric. Second, by considering Riemannian metrics dual to constant curvature Lorentzian metrics via a type of Wick rotation, we are able to rule out the existence of a family of compact Riemannian manifolds (in all dimensions) that deviate from constant curvature in a precise sense.
