New rigidity result for metrics with positive scalar curvature and specific decay.

We consider Hitchin's hyperkähler metric $g_{L^2}$ on the $SU(n)$-Hitchin moduli space moduli space over a compact Riemann surface. We prove that the difference between the metric $g_{L^2}$ and a simpler "semiflat" hyperkähler metric $g_{\mathrm{sf}}$ is exponentially-decaying along generic rays in the Hitchin moduli s…

Researchers found solutions to a complex equation on spheres, overcoming a key difficulty.

The goal of this paper is to investigate the topological structure of open simply-connected 3-manifolds whose scalar curvature has a slow decay at infinity. In particular, we show that the Whitehead manifold does not admit a complete metric, whose scalar curvature decays slowly, and in fact that any contractible comple…

We show that there are topological obstructions for a noncompact manifold to admit a Riemannian metric with quadratic curvature decay and a volume growth which is slower than that of Euclidean space of the same dimension.

We present a method in nonlinear elliptic systems to study curvature decays on asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) manifolds. In particular, we show that scalar flat Kahler and harmonic ALE metrics of real dimension n are of order n-2.

In this paper we study the extent to which conformally compact asymptotically hyperbolic metrics may be characterized intrinsically. Building on the work of the first author, we prove that decay of sectional curvature to -1 and decay of covariant derivatives of curvature outside an appropriate compact set yield Hölder …

In this paper we pursue the work initiated in \cite{Bahuaud, BahuaudGicquaud}: study the extent to which conformally compact asymptotically hyperbolic metrics can be characterized intrinsically. We show how the decay rate of the sectional curvature to -1 controls the Hölder regularity of the compactified metric. To thi…

Study shows uniqueness of solutions on complex manifolds without requiring solution decay.

This paper constructs a class of complete Kähler metrics of positive holomorphic sectional curvature on ${\bf C}^n$ and finds that the constructed metrics satisfy the following properties: As the geodesic distance $ρ\to\infty,$ the volume of geodesic balls grows like $O(ρ^{\frac{2(β+1)n}{β+2}})$ and the Riemannian scal…

A random walk $w_n$ on a separable, geodesic hyperbolic metric space $X$ converges to the boundary $\partial X$ with probability one when the step distribution supports two independent loxodromics. In particular, the random walk makes positive linear progress. Progress is known to be linear with exponential decay when …

We prove a removal of singularities result for Bach-flat metrics in dimension 4 under the assumption of bounded L^2 norm of curvature, bounded Sobolev constant and a volume growth bound. This result extends the removal of singularities result for special classes of Bach-flat metrics obtained in \cite{TVMOD}. For the pr…

We study asymptotic behavior of positive smooth solutions of the conformal scalar curvature equation in ${\bf R}^n$. We consider the case when the scalar curvature of the conformal metric is bounded between two positive numbers outside a compact set. It is shown that the solution has slow decay if the radial change is …

Paper proves Gromov's conjecture on manifolds with certain group properties.

In this paper, we study the theory of linearized gravity and prove the linear stability of Schwarzschild black holes as solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations. In particular, we prove that solutions to the linearized vacuum Einstein equations centered at a Schwarzschild metric, with suitably regular initial data, r…

In this paper, we prove the linear stability to gravitational and electromagnetic perturbations of the Reissner-Nordström family of charged black holes with small charge. Solutions to the linearized Einstein-Maxwell equations around a Reissner-Nordström solution arising from regular initial data remain globally bounded…

This is our second paper in a series to study gravitational instantons, i.e. complete hyperkäler 4-manifolds with faster than quadratic curvature decay. We prove two main theorems: 1.The asymptotic rate of gravitational instantons to the standard models can be improved automatically. 2.Any ALF-D_k gravitational instant…

We prove in this paper the linear stability of the celebrated Schwarzschild family of black holes in general relativity: Solutions to the linearisation of the Einstein vacuum equations around a Schwarzschild metric arising from regular initial data remain globally bounded on the black hole exterior and in fact decay to…

Tian and Yau constructed a complete Ricci-flat Kähler metric on the complement of an ample and smooth anticanonical divisor. We inquire into the behaviour of this metric towards the boundary divisor and prove a slow decay rate of the difference to an appropriate explicitely given referential metric.

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.

In this paper, we examine the dependence of standard gluing process for pseudoholomorphic curves under the change of the length $T$ of the neck-region with respect to the cylindrical metrics associated to the given analytic coordinates near the punctures in the setting of bordered open Riemann surface with boundary pun…

We introduce a class of "weakly asymptotically hyperbolic" geometries whose sectional curvatures tend to $-1$ and are $C^0$, but are not necessarily $C^1$, conformally compact. We subsequently investigate the rate at which curvature invariants decay at infinity, identifying a conformally invariant tensor which serves a…

This paper investigates the effectiveness of decoupled weight decay at the start of training.

We give conditions on a general stress-energy tensor T_{αβ} in a spherically symmetric black hole spacetime which are sufficient to guarantee that the black hole will contain a (spherically symmetric) marginally trapped tube which is eventually achronal, connected, and asymptotic to the event horizon. Price law decay p…

Stability proved for open Milne spacetime, showing gravity's long-term behavior.

Proves K-polystability for Kähler-Ricci shrinkers with decaying curvature.

This paper deals with two related problems, namely distance-preserving binary embeddings and quantization for compressed sensing . First, we propose fast methods to replace points from a subset $\mathcal{X} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, associated with the Euclidean metric, with points in the cube $\{\pm 1\}^m$ and we associa…

We prove that any complete metric on R^3 minus a ball with non-negative Ricci curvature and quadratic Ricci-curvature decay, has cubic volume growth.

In this paper we continue our study of the Laplacian on manifolds with axial analytic asymptotically cylindrical ends initiated in~arXiv:1003.2538. By using the complex scaling method and the Phragmén-Lindelöf principle we prove exponential decay of the eigenfunctions corresponding to the non-threshold eigenvalues of t…

We obtain a volume growth and curvature decay result for various classes of complete, noncompact Riemannian metrics in dimension 4; in particular our method applies to anti-self-dual or Kahler metrics with zero scalar curvature, and metrics with harmonic curvature. Similar results are known for Einstein metrics, but ou…

This is the first part in a two-part series on complete Calabi-Yau manifolds asymptotic to Riemannian cones at infinity. We begin by proving general existence and uniqueness results. The uniqueness part relaxes the decay condition $O(r^{-n-ε})$ needed in earlier work to $O(r^{-ε})$, relying on some new ideas about harm…

The Riemann-Christoffel connection and Riemann curvature tensor for the Arnold and its conformal counter…

This paper studies the normalized Ricci flow from a slight perturbation of the hyperbolic metric on $\mathbb H^n$. It's proved that if the perturbation is small and decays sufficiently fast at the infinity, then the flow will converge exponentially fast to the hyperbolic metric when the dimension $n>5$.
