چکیده
We discuss the space of Einstein metrics, up to diffeomorphism, on a compact manifold. In particular we mention some heuristics on its dimension and some theorems on its compactness.

On 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 کاملCurvature 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 کاملModuli Spaces of Einstein Metrics on 4-manifolds
In this note, we announce some results showing unexpected similarities between the moduli spaces of constant curvature metrics on 2-manifolds (the Riemann moduli space) and moduli spaces of Einstein metrics on 4manifolds. Let J? denote the moduli space of Einstein metrics of volume 1 on a compact, orientable 4-manifold M. If J£\ denotes the space of smooth Riemannian metrics of volume 1 on M, e...
متن کاملPositivity of Relative Canonical Bundles of Families of Canonically Polarized Manifolds
The Kähler-Einstein metrics on the fibers of an effectively parameterized family of canonically polarized manifolds induce a hermitian metric on the relative canonical bundle. We use a global elliptic equation to show that this metric is strictly positive. Applications concern the curvature of the classical and generalized Weil-Petersson metrics and hyperbolicity of moduli spaces.
متن کاملWeil-petersson Geometry on Moduli Space of Polarized Calabi-yau Manifolds
Moduli spaces of general polarized algebraic varieties are studied extensively by algebraic geometers. However, there are two classes of moduli spaces where the methods of differential geometry are equally powerful. These are the moduli spaces of curves and the moduli spaces of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. Both spaces are complex orbifolds. The Weil-Petersson metric is the main tool for inve...
