Abstract

We show that to every maximal surface with conelike singularities in Lorentz-Minkowski space $\mathbb{L}^3$ that can be locally represented as the graph of a smooth function, there exists a corresponding timelike minimal surface in $\mathbb{L}^3$. There exists a linear transformation between such a maximal surface and its corresponding timelike minimal surface and it maps the singularities of one to the singularities of the other. Moreover, this transformation establishes a one-one correspondence between such maximal surfaces and timelike minimal surfaces and also preserves the one-one property of the Gauss map. This leads to a Kobayashi type theorem for timelike minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{L}^3$. Finally, we derive some non-trivial identities using existing Euler-Ramanujan identities, and some familiar timelike minimal surfaces in parametric form.

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.
