On Certain Rigidity Results of Compact Regular $(κ, μ) $-Manifolds

Abstract

In this article, we investigate the Riemannian and semi-Riemannian metrics on the base space of the Boothby-Wang fibration of a closed regular non-Sasakian $(κ, μ)$-manifold. To this end, we study a natural class of deviations of the projection map from being (semi-)Riemannian submersions. We consider deviations that preserve the canonical bi-Legendrian structure on the given $(κ, μ)$-manifold. We present rigidity results for Riemannian and semi-Riemannian metrics on the base space which orthogonalize the natural bi-Lagrangian structure induced by the $(κ, μ)$-structure. This approach gives a unified framework to analyze rigidity results in both categories. More precisely, in the Riemannian category, we obtain uniqueness of Sasakian structure on the given $(κ, μ)$-manifold which orthogonalizes the canonical bi-Legendrian structure. In the semi-Riemannian category, we obtain an explicit description of the finitely many para-contact structures which orthogonalize the canonical bi-Legendrian structure.

Futaki invariant on Hopf manifolds

The Futaki invariant is a fundamental tool in Kähler geometry representing an obstruction to the existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics. Recently, it was generalized to compact complex manifolds. In this paper, we prove that it vanishes on Hopf manifolds.

Remarks on potential functions of noncompact quasi-Einstein manifolds

In this article, we study the set of potential functions on noncompact quasi-Einstein manifolds. We show that the space of all positive potential functions on a three-dimensional noncompact quasi-Einstein manifold has dimension at most two, and that equality holds if and only if the manifold is isometric to a product $B\times\mathbb{R}$, where $B$ is a $λ$-Einstein surface or one of the examples obtained by L. Berard Bergery and described in Besse's book. Moreover, we prove that any asymptotically flat $n$-dimensional quasi-Einstein manifold with $λ=0$ is necessarily Ricci-flat.

Adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes

Higher gauge theory for non-abelian structure 2-groups faces significant challenges when extending beyond the fake-flat sector, which suffers from limited applicability in physical models. A promising resolution involves equipping 2-groups with additional structure, known as adjustments. We present a comprehensive theory of adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes, classified by Saemann's adjusted version of non-abelian differential cohomology. This theory enables, in particular, a new coordinate-independent formulation of Tellez-Dominguez' lifting theorem, establishing a correspondence between adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes and connections on abelian bundle 2-gerbes.
