Classification of odd generalized Einstein metrics on 3-dimensional Lie groups

Abstract

An odd generalized metric E_{-} on a Lie group G of dimension n is a left-invariant generalized metric on a Courant algebroid E_{H, F} of type B_n over G with left-invariant twisting forms H and F. Given an odd generalized metric E_{-} on G we determine the affine space of left invariant Levi-Civita generalized connections of E_ {-}. Given in addition a left-invariant divergence operator δwe show that there is a left-invariant Levi-Civita generalized connection of E_{-} with divergence δand we compute the corresponding Ricci tensor Ricci^δ of the pair (E_{-}, δ). The odd generalized metric E_{-} is called odd generalized Einstein with divergence δif Ricci^δ =0. We describe all odd generalized Einstein metrics of arbitrary left-invariant divergence on all 3-dimensional Lie groups.

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.
