Curvature and Injectivity Radius Estimates for Einstein 4-manifolds
It is of fundamental interest to study the geometric and analytic properties of compact Einstein manifolds and their moduli. In dimension 2 these problems are well understood. A 2-dimensional Einstein manifold, (M, g), has constant curvature, which after normalization, can be taken to be −1, 0 or 1. Thus, (M, g) is the quotient of a space form and the metric, g, is completely determined by the ...
متن کاملCollapsing sequences of solutions to the Ricci flow on 3-manifolds with almost nonnegative curvature
We shall prove a general result about sequences of solutions to the Ricci flow on compact or complete noncompact 3-manifolds with locally uniformly bounded almost nonnegative sectional curvatures and diameters tending to infinity. It is known that such sequences occur when one dilates about a singularity of a solution to the Ricci flow on a 3-manifold. Our main result assumes collapse and is co...
متن کاملInjectivity radius and optimal regularity of Lorentzian manifolds with bounded curvature
We review recent work on the local geometry and optimal regularity of Lorentzian manifolds with bounded curvature. Our main results provide an estimate of the injectivity radius of an observer, and a local canonical foliations by CMC (Constant Mean Curvature) hypersurfaces, together with spatially harmonic coordinates. In contrast with earlier results based on a global bound for derivatives of ...
متن کاملInjectivity Radius of Lorentzian Manifolds
Motivated by the application to spacetimes of general relativity we investigate the geometry and regularity of Lorentzianmanifolds under certain curvature and volume bounds. We establish several injectivity radius estimates at a point or on the past null cone of a point. Our estimates are entirely local and geometric, and are formulated via a reference Riemannian metric that we canonically asso...
متن کاملManifolds with Nonnegative Isotropic Curvature
We prove that if (M, g) is a compact locally irreducible Riemannian manifold with nonnegative isotropic curvature, then one of the following possibilities hold: (i) M admits a metric with positive isotropic curvature (ii) (M, g) is isometric to a locally symmetric space (iii) (M, g) is Kähler and biholomorphic to CP n. This is implied by the following two results: (i) Let (M, g) be a compact, l...
