Deforming Metrics in the Direction of Their Ricci Tensors

چکیده
In [4], R. Hamilton has proved that if a compact manifold M of dimension three admits a C Riemannian metric g0 with positive Ricci curvature, then it also admits a metric g with constant positive sectional curvature, and is thus a quotient of the sphere S. In fact, he shows that the original metric can be deformed into the constant-curvature metric by requiring that, for t ≥ 0, x ∈ M and g = g(t, x),

In this paper we consider the action of higher derivative gravity up to the second order terms in the scalars made from the Ricci scalar, Ricci and Riemann tensors. We use the Bach- Lanczos identity of the Weyl tensor in four dimensions and show that the solutions of 4-dimensional Einstein equations with cosmological constant term in vacuum, which are known as Einstein metrics, satisfy the fie...
متن کاملOn quasi-Einstein Finsler spaces
The notion of quasi-Einstein metric in physics is equivalent to the notion of Ricci soliton in Riemannian spaces. Quasi-Einstein metrics serve also as solution to the Ricci flow equation. Here, the Riemannian metric is replaced by a Hessian matrix derived from a Finsler structure and a quasi-Einstein Finsler metric is defined. In compact case, it is proved that the quasi-Einstein met...

متن کاملThe Equation of Prescribed Ricci Curvature
Introduction. In [5], J. Milnor cited "understanding the Ricci tensor Rik = J^ Rt'kl 9J as a fundamental problem of present-day mathematics. A basic issue, then, is to determine which symmetric covariant tensors of rank two can be Ricci tensors of Riemannian metrics. The definition of Ricci curvature casts the problem of finding a metric g which realizes a given Ricci curvature R as one of solv...
