Extrinsic curvature and conformal Gauss–Bonnet for four-manifolds with corner
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper defines two new extrinsic curvature quantities on the corner of a four-dimensional Riemannian manifold with corner. One these is pointwise conformal invariant, and transformation other governed by linear second-order conformally invariant partial differential operator. The Gauss-Bonnet theorem then stated in terms quantities.

Curvature flows on four manifolds with boundary
Given a compact four dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold (M, g) with smooth boundary, we consider the evolution equation by Q-curvature in the interior keeping the T -curvature and the mean curvature to be zero and the evolution equation by T -curvature at the boundary with the condition that the Q-curvature and the mean curvature vanish. Using integral method, we prove global existence and ...
متن کاملSymplectic four-manifolds and conformal blocks
We apply ideas from conformal field theory to study symplectic four-manifolds, by using modular functors to “linearise” Lefschetz fibrations. In Chern-Simons theory this leads to the study of parabolic vector bundles of conformal blocks. Motivated by the Hard Lefschetz theorem, we show the bundles of SU(2) conformal blocks associated to Kähler surfaces are Brill-Noether special, although the as...
متن کاملFour-Manifolds, Curvature Bounds, and Convex Geometry
Seiberg-Witten theory leads to a remarkable family of curvature estimates governing the Riemannian geometry of compact 4-manifolds, and these, for example, imply interesting results concerning the existence and/or uniqueness of Einstein metrics on such spaces. The primary purpose of the present article is to introduce a simplified, user-friendly repackaging of the information conveyed by the Se...
متن کاملConstant T -curvature conformal metrics on 4-manifolds with boundary
In this paper we prove that, given a compact four dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold (M, g) with smooth boundary there exists a metric conformal to g with constant T -curvature, zero Q-curvature and zero mean curvature under generic and conformally invariant assumptions. The problem amounts to solving a fourth order nonlinear elliptic boundary value problem (BVP) with boundary conditions gi...
متن کاملAn equation of Monge-Ampère type in conformal geometry, and four-manifolds of positive Ricci curvature
We formulate natural conformally invariant conditions on a 4-manifold for the existence of a metric whose Schouten tensor satisfies a quadratic inequality. This inequality implies that the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor are positively pinched.
