Characterization of Pinched Ricci Curvature by Functional Inequalities
نویسنده
چکیده
ABSTRACT. In this article, functional inequalities for diffusion semigroups on Riemannian manifolds (possibly with boundary) are established, which are equivalent to pinched Ricci curvature, along with gradient estimates, Lp-inequalities and log-Sobolev inequalities. These results are further extended to differential manifolds carrying geometric flows. As application, it is shown that they can be used in particular to characterize general geometric flow and Ricci flow by functional inequalities.

RICCI CURVATURE OF SUBMANIFOLDS OF A SASAKIAN SPACE FORM
Involving the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature, we obtain basic inequalities for different kind of submaniforlds of a Sasakian space form tangent to the structure vector field of the ambient manifold. Contrary to already known results, we find a different necessary and sufficient condition for the equality for Ricci curvature of C-totally real submanifolds of a Sasakian space form...
متن کاملA Caveat on the Convergence of the Ricci Flow for Pinched Negatively Curved Manifolds
where r = ∫ Rdμ/ ∫ dμ is the average scalar curvature (R is the scalar curvature) and Ric is the Ricci curvature tensor of h. Hamilton then spectacularly illustrated the success of this method by proving, when n = 3, that if the initial Riemannian metric has strictly positive Ricci curvature it evolves through time to a positively curved Einstein metric h∞ on M . And, because n = 3, such a Riem...
متن کاملRicci flow and manifolds with positive curvature
This is an expository article based on the author’s lecture delivered at the conference Lie Theory and Its Applications in March 2011, UCSD. We discuss various notions of positivity and their relations with the study of the Ricci flow, including a proof of the assertion, due to Wolfson and the author, that the Ricci flow preserves the positivity of the complex sectional curvature. We discuss th...

We study complete noncompact long time solutions (M, g(t)) to the Kähler-Ricci flow with uniformly bounded nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature. We will show that when the Ricci curvature is positive and uniformly pinched, i.e. Rī ≥ cRgī at (p, t) for all t for some c > 0, then there always exists a local gradient Kähler-Ricci soliton limit around p after possibly rescaling g(t) alon...
