Study on filling 3D metrics with 4D Poincaré-Einstein structures.

Given any two Einstein (pseudo-)metrics, with scalar curvatures suitably related, we give an explicit construction of a Poincaré-Einstein (pseudo-)metric with conformal infinity the conformal class of the product of the initial metrics. We show that these metrics are equivalent to ambient metrics for the given conforma…

The study examines stability and instability of Poincaré-Einstein metrics using Ricci flow.

New examples of degenerating metrics on R^4 found.

We calculate a wall crossing formula for 4-dimensional Poincare-Einstein metrics, through a wall made of orbifold Poincare-Einstein metrics with A1 singularities. This is based on a formalism which enables to deal with higher order terms of the Einstein equation in this setting. Some other consequences are deduced.

We exhibit an explicit one-parameter smooth family of Poincaré-Einstein metrics on the even-dimensional unit ball whose conformal infinities are the Berger spheres. Our construction is based on a Gibbons-Hawking-type ansätz of Page and Pope. The family contains the hyperbolic metric, converges to the complex hyperbolic…

New tensors help determine if metrics are related to Poincaré-Einstein ones.

Study non-linear Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for Poincaré-Einstein fillings.

The study proves rigidity for Poincaré-Einstein manifolds with flat Euclidean conformal infinity.

We re-visit the eigenvalue estimate of the Dirac operator on spin manifolds with boundary in terms of the first eigenvalues of conformal Laplace operator as well as the conformal mean curvature operator. These problems were studied earlier by Hijazi-Montiel-Zhang and Raulot and we re-prove them under weaker assumption …

An important tool in the study of conformal geometry, and the AdS/CFT correspondence in physics, is the Fefferman-Graham expansion of conformally compact Einstein metrics. We show that conformally compact metrics satisfying a generalization of the Einstein equation, Poincare-Lovelock metrics, also have Fefferman-Graham…

We develop a geometric and explicit construction principle that generates classes of Poincare-Einstein manifolds, and more generally almost Einstein manifolds. Almost Einstein manifolds satisfy a generalisation of the Einstein condition; they are Einstein on an open dense subspace and, in general, have a conformal scal…

We construct new examples of Einstein metrics by perturbing the conformal infinity of geometrically finite hyperbolic metrics and by applying the inverse function theorem in suitable weighted Hölder spaces.

In this note we prove the existence of infinitely many positive conformal classes on $S^7$ which cannot be the conformal infinity of a Poincaré-Einstein metric on the ball $B^8$. We also prove a sharp inequality between the Yamabe invariant of the conformal infinity and the Yamabe invariant of the interior (after a sui…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Kähler-Einstein manifold with $c_1 > 0$. Denote by $K\to M$ the canonical line-bundle, with total space $X$, and $X_0$ the singular space obtained by blowing down $X$ along its zero section. We employ a construction by Page and Pope and discuss an interesting multi-parameter family of Poincaré-…

We study the linearization of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for Poincaré-Einstein metrics in even dimensions on an arbitrary compact manifold with boundary. By fixing a suitable gauge, we make the linearized Einstein equation elliptic. In this gauge the linearization of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map appears as the scatte…

An almost Einstein manifold satisfies equations which are a slight weakening of the Einstein equations; Einstein metrics, Poincare-Einstein metrics, and compactifications of certain Ricci-flat asymptotically locally Euclidean structures are special cases. The governing equation is a conformally invariant overdetermined…

Study of 0-instantons on hyperbolic manifolds, proving invariants and energy formulas.

We establish a boundary connected sum theorem for asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein metrics; this requires no nondegeneracy hypothesis. We also show that if the two metrics have scalar positive conformal infinities, then the same is true for this boundary join.

The paper embeds CR manifolds into twistor spaces and constructs neutral hyperkähler metrics.

This is a survey on the correspondence between asymptotically complex hyperbolic Einstein metrics and CR structures on the boundary at infinity, which is the complex version of that between Poincaré-Einstein metrics and conformal structures. We mainly discuss existence theorems, and propose several open problems.

We prove the existence of a $C^{1,1}$ conformally compact Einstein metric on the ball that has asymptotic sectional curvature decay to $-1$ plus terms of order $e^{-2r}$ where $r$ is the distance from any fixed compact set. This metric has no $C^2$ conformal compactification.

Given a closed Riemannian manifold $(M, g_M)$ of dimension $n \geq 3$, we prove the existence of a conformally compact Einstein metric $g_{+}$ defined on a collar neighborhood $M \times (0,1]$ whose conformal infinity is $[g_M]$.

We treat the problem of defining, and characterising in a practical way, an appropriate class of distinguished curves for Poincaré-Einstein manifolds, and other conformally singular geometries. These "generalised geodesics" agree with geodesics away from the conformal singularity set and are shown to satisfy natural "b…

Let X be a Kähler manifold and D be a R-divisor with simple normal crossing support and coefficients between 1/2 and 1. Assuming that K_X+D is ample, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a negatively curved Kahler-Einstein metric on X\D having mixed Poincaré and cone singularities according to the coefficients of D…

The paper studies degenerate and nonlocal elliptic operators on Poincaré-Einstein manifolds.

Ancient solutions found on flag manifolds from invariant Einstein metrics.

We prove that desingularizations of non degenerate Poincaré-Einstein metrics with A1 singularities remain non degenerate. In principle this enables a recursive procedure to desingularize the other Fuchsian singularities. We illustrate this procedure by the A2 case.

Study Bergman kernels on complex hyperbolic cusps, generalizing previous results.

We study in this paper the fractional Yamabe problem first considered by Gonzalez-Qing on the conformal infinity $(M^n , [h])$ of a Poincaré-Einstein manifold $(X^{n+1} , g^+ )$ with either $n = 2$ or $n \geq 3$ and $(M^n , [h])$ is locally flat - namely $(M, h)$ is locally conformally flat. However, as for the classic…

We determine the structure of conformal powers of the Dirac operator on Einstein {\it Spin}-manifolds in terms of the product formula for shifted Dirac operators. The result is based on the techniques of higher variations for the Dirac operator on Einstein manifolds and spectral analysis of the Dirac operator on the as…

Given a smooth complex projective variety X and a smooth divisor D on X, we prove the existence of Hermitian-Einstein connections, with respect to a Poincaré-type metric on X - D, on polystable parabolic principal Higgs bundles with parabolic structure over D, satisfying certain conditions on its restriction to D.

The study classifies Einstein metrics on a specific total space, revealing various behaviors and transitions.

After analyzing renormalization schemes on a Poincaré-Einstein manifold, we study the renormalized integrals of scalar Riemannian invariants. The behavior of the renormalized volume is well-known, and we show any scalar Riemannian invariant renormalizes similarly. We consider characteristic forms and their behavior und…
