Abstract

We characterize quasi Kähler manifolds whose curvature tensor associated to the canonical Hermitian connection satisfies the first Bianchi identity. This condition is related with the third Gray identity and in the almost Kähler case implies the integrability. Our main tool is the existence of generalized holomorphic frames introduced by the second author previously. By using such frames we also give a simpler and shorter proof of a Theorem of Goldberg. Furthermore we study almost Hermitian structures having the curvature tensor associated to the canonical Hermitian connection equal to zero. We show some explicit examples of quasi Kähler structures on the Iwasawa manifold having the Hermitian curvature vanishing and the Riemann curvature tensor satisfying the second Gray identity.

On the topology of manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and linear volume growth

Understanding the relationships between geometry and topology is a central theme in Riemannian geometry. We establish two results on the fundamental groups of open (complete and noncompact) $n$-manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and linear volume growth. First, we show that the fundamental group of such a manifold contains a subgroup $\mathbb{Z}^k$ of finite index, where $0\le k\le n-1$. Second, we prove that if the Ricci curvature is positive everywhere, then the fundamental group is finite. The proofs are based on an analysis of the equivariant asymptotic geometry of successive covering spaces and a plane/halfplane rigidity result for RCD spaces.

K-polystability of Asymptotically Conical Kähler-Ricci Shrinkers

Recently, Sun-Zhang have developed an algebraic theory for Kähler-Ricci shrinkers showing that they admit the structure of a polarized Fano fibration $(π: X \to Y, ξ)$. In particular, they conjecture that existence of a Kähler-Ricci shrinker metric is equivalent to a notion of K-stability. We prove one direction of this conjecture, namely that existence of a Kähler-Ricci shrinker metric $g$ implies K-polystability of $(π: X \to Y, ξ)$, in the case that the Ricci curvature of $g$ decays at infinity. As an application, we give a non-existence result: if $M$ is the blowup of a six-dimensional quadric along a two-dimensional subquadric, then the total space $X$ of the cube root of $K_M$ is a polarized Fano fibration not admitting a Kähler-Ricci shrinker.

Observações sobre funções potenciais de variedades quase-Einstein não compactas

Neste artigo, estudamos o conjunto de funções potenciais em variedades quase Einstein não compactas. Mostramos que o espaço de todas as funções potenciais positivas em uma variedade tridimensional não compacta quase-Einstein tem dimensão no máximo dois, e que a igualdade vale se e somente se a variedade for isométrica a um produto $B\times\mathbb{R}$, onde $B$ é uma superfície $λ$-Einstein ou um dos exemplos obtidos por L. Berard Bergery e descritos no livro de Besse. Além disso, provamos que qualquer variedade quase-Einstein assintoticamente plana $n$-dimensional com $λ=0$ é necessariamente Ricci-plana.
