Abstract

A survey on the recent work of Danciger, Guéritaud and Kassel on Margulis space-times and complete anti-de Sitter space-times. Margulis space-times are quotients of the 3-dimensional Minkowski space by (non-abelian) free groups acting propertly discontinuously. Goldman, Labourie and Margulis have shown that they are determined by a convex co-compact hyperbolic surface $S$ along with a first-order deformation of the metric which uniformly decreases the lengths of closed geodesics. Danciger, Guéritaud and Kassel show that those space-times are principal $\mathbb R$-bundles over $S$ with time-like geodesics as fibers, that they are homeomorphic to the interior of a handlebody, and that they admit a fundamental domain bounded by crooked planes. To obtain those results they show that those Margulis space-times are "infinitesimal" versions of 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter manifolds, and are lead to introduce a new parameterization of the space of deformations of a hyperbolic surface that increase the lengths of all closed geodesics.

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.
