Sphere Theorem for Manifolds with Positive Curvature
In this paper, we prove that, for any integer n ≥ 2, there exists an ǫn ≥ 0 so that if M is an n-dimensional complete manifold with sectional curvature KM ≥ 1 and if M has conjugate radius bigger than π 2 and contains a geodesic loop of length 2(π − ǫn), then M is diffeomorphic to the Euclidian unit sphere S.
متن کاملComparison Geometry with Integral Curvature Bounds
In this paper we shall generalize a formula of Heintze and Karcher for the volume of normal tubes around geodesics to a situation where one has integral bounds for the sectional curvature. This formula leads to a generalization of Cheeger’s lemma for the length of the shortest closed geodesic and to a generalization of the Grove-Petersen finiteness result to a situation where one has integral c...
متن کاملConformal Quaternionic Contact Curvature and the Local Sphere Theorem
Abstract. A curvature-type tensor invariant called quaternionic contact (qc) conformal curvature is defined on a qc manifolds in terms of the curvature and torsion of the Biquard connection. The discovered tensor is similar to the Weyl conformal curvature in Riemannian geometry and to the Chern-Moser invariant in CR geometry. It is shown that a qc manifold is locally qc conformal to the standar...
متن کاملA Radius Sphere Theorem
The purpose of this paper is to present an optimal sphere theorem for metric spaces analogous to the celebrated Rauch-Berger-Klingenberg Sphere Theorem and the Diameter Sphere Theorem in riemannian geometry. There has lately been considerable interest in studying spaces which are more singular than riemannian manifolds. A natural reason for doing this is because Gromov-Hausdorff limits of riema...
متن کاملRELATIVE VOLUME COMPARISON WITH INTEGRAL CURVATURE BOUNDS P. Petersen and G. Wei
In this paper we shall generalize the Bishop-Gromov relative volume comparison estimate to a situation where one only has an integral bound for the part of the Ricci curvature which lies below a given number. This will yield several compactness and pinching theorems.
