The Smale Conjecture and Minimal Legendrian Graph in $\mathbb{S}^{2}\times \mathbb{S}^{3}$

Abstract

In this article, we recapture the Smale conjecture on a Sasakian $3$-sphere via the Legendrian mean curvature flow. More precisely,~we deform the area-preserving contactomorphism (symplectomorphism) of Sasakian $3$-spheres to an isometry via the Legendrian mean curvature flow on the Legendrian graph in $\mathbb{S}^{2}\times \mathbb{S}^{3}$. By using the monotonicity formula and blow-up analysis, we obtain the minimal Legendrian graph in $\mathbb{S}^{2}\times \mathbb{S}^{3}$. Finally, we will address the rigidity theorem of $2$-dimensional Legendrian self-shrinkers in $\mathbb{R}^{5}$. We are able to reconstruct the Harvey-Lawson special Lagrangian cone in $\mathbb{C}^{3}$ from this Legendrian self-shrinker. The partial classification is also provided if the squared norm of the second fundamental form is constant.

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.
