Abstract

The electric capacity of a conductor in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space $R^3 $ is defined as a ratio of a given positive charge on the conductor to the value of potential on the surface. This definition of the capacity is independent of the given charge. The capacity of a set as a mathematical notion was defined first by N. Wiener (1924) and was developed by O. Forstman, C. J. de La Vallee Poussin, and several other French mathematicians in connection with potential theory. This paper develops the theory of conformal invariants for Finsler manifolds. More precisely we prove: The capacity of a compact set and the capacity of the condenser of two closed sets are conformally invariant. By mean of the notion of capacity, we construct and study four conformal invariant functions $ ρ$, $ ν$, $μ$ and $λ$ which have similarities with the classical invariants on $S^n$, $ R^n $ or $H^n$. Their properties and especially their continuity are efficient tools for solving some problems of conformal geometry in the large.

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.
