Relative Yamabe invariant and c-concordant metrics
We show a surgery formula for the relative Yamabe invariant and give applications to the study of concordance classes of metrics.
متن کاملSmooth Yamabe invariant and surgery
We prove a surgery formula for the smooth Yamabe invariant σ(M) of a compact manifold M . Assume that N is obtained from M by surgery of codimension at least 3. We prove the existence of a positive constant Λn, depending only on the dimension n of M , such that σ(N) ≥ min{σ(M),Λn}.
متن کاملEinstein Metrics and the Yamabe Problem
Which smooth compact n-manifolds admit Riemannian metrics of constant Ricci curvature? A direct variational approach sheds some interesting light on this problem, but by no means answers it. This article surveys some recent results concerning both Einstein metrics and the associated variational problem, with the particular aim of highlighting the striking manner in which the 4-dimensional case ...
متن کاملLow-dimensional surgery and the Yamabe invariant
Assume that M is a compact n-dimensional manifold and that N is obtained by surgery along a k-dimensional sphere, k ≤ n − 3. The smooth Yamabe invariants σ(M) and σ(N) satisfy σ(N) ≥ min(σ(M),Λ) for Λ > 0. We derive explicit lower bounds for Λ in dimensions where previous methods failed, namely for (n, k) ∈ {(4, 1), (5, 1), (5, 2), (9, 1), (10, 1)}. With methods from surgery theory and bordism ...
متن کاملModuli Spaces of Singular Yamabe Metrics
Complete, conformally flat metrics of constant positive scalar cur-vature on the complement of k points in the n-sphere, k ≥ 2, n ≥ 3, wereconstructed by R. Schoen in 1988. We consider the problem of determiningthe moduli space of all such metrics. All such metrics are asymptotically peri-odic, and we develop the linear analysis necessary to understand the nonlinearproblem. ...
