Ricci Yang-mills Solitons on Nilpotent Lie Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the Ricci Yang-Mills soliton equations on nilpotent Lie groups. In the 2-step nilpotent setting, we show that these equations are strictly weaker than the Ricci soliton equations. Using techniques from Geometric Invariant Theory, we develop a procedure to build many different kinds of Ricci Yang-Mills solitons. We finish this note by producing examples of Lie groups that do not admit Ricci soliton metrics but that do admit Ricci Yang-Mills soliton metrics.

The Ricci Bracket Flow for Solvable Lie Groups
The Ricci bracket flow is a geometric evolution on Lie algebras which is related to the Ricci flow on the corresponding Lie group. For nilpotent Lie groups, these two flows are equivalent. In the solvable case, it is not known whether they are equivalent. We examine a family of solvable Lie algebras and identify various elements of that family which are solitons under the Ricci bracket flow. We...
متن کاملLinear Stability of Homogeneous Ricci Solitons
As a step toward understanding the analytic behavior of Type-III Ricci flow singularities, i.e. immortal solutions that exhibit |Rm | ≤ C/t curvature decay, we examine the linearization of an equivalent flow at fixed points discovered recently by Baird–Danielo and Lott: nongradient homogeneous expanding Ricci solitons on nilpotent or solvable Lie groups. For all explicitly known nonproduct exam...

where λ is the soliton constant. In [2], Lauret proves the existence of many left invariant Ricci solitons on nilpotent Lie groups. The first explicit construction of Lauret solitons has been obtained by Baird and Danielo in [4]. In particular they show that the soliton structure on Nil is of nongradient type. Remarkably this is the first example of nongradient Ricci soliton. In [5], it is prov...

As a step toward understanding the analytic behavior of TypeIII Ricci flow singularities, i.e. immortal solutions that exhibit |Rm | ≤ C/t curvature decay, we examine the linearization of an equivalent flow at certain fixed points discovered recently by Baird–Danielo and Lott: non-gradient homogeneous Ricci solitons on nilpotent Lie groups. We show that the linearized operators at these fixed p...
متن کاملModuli of Einstein and Non-Einstein Nilradicals
The subject of left-invariant Ricci soliton metrics on nilpotent Lie groups has enjoyed quite a bit of attention in the past several years. These metrics are intimately related to left-invariant Einstein metrics on non-unimodular solvable Lie groups. In fact, a classification of one is equivalent to a classification of the other. In this note, we focus our attention on nilpotent Lie groups and ...
