The paper studies curvature changes on manifolds with boundary.

Extending the work of G. Székelyhidi and T. Brönnle to Sasakian manifolds we prove that a small deformation of the complex structure of the cone of a constant scalar curvature Sasakian manifold admits a constant scalar curvature structure if it is K-polystable. This also implies that a small deformation of the complex …

Localized deformation of scalar curvature and mean curvature on manifolds.

We prove a Kuranishi-type theorem for deformations of complex structures on ALE Kähler surfaces. This is used to prove that for any scalar-flat Kähler ALE surface, all small deformations of complex structure also admit scalar-flat Kähler ALE metrics. A local moduli space of scalar-flat Kähler ALE metrics is then constr…

Study curvatures on compact pseudo-Hermitian manifolds using special methods.

In this article, we found a connection between Brown-York mass and the first Dirichlet Eigenvalue of a Schrödingier type operator. In particular, we proved a local positive mass type theorem for metrics conformal to the background one with suitable presumptions. As applications, we investigated compactly conformal defo…

The paper solves scalar curvature problems under conformal deformation for Riemannian manifolds.

We discuss conformal deformation and warped products on some open manifolds. We discuss how these can be applied to construct Riemannian metrics with specific scalar curvature functions.

We construct the first examples of continuous families of isospectral Riemannian metrics that are not locally isometric on closed manifolds, more precisely, on $S^n\times T^m$, where $T^m$ is a torus of dimension $m\ge 2$ and $S^n$ is a sphere of dimension $n\ge 4$. These metrics are not locally homogeneous; in particu…

Study on solitons in deformed Kenmotsu manifolds with specific vector fields.

In this paper,we obtain two results on closed Reimainnian manifold $M\times [0,T]$.When $T$ is small enough,to any prescribed scalar curvature, the existence and uniqueness of metrics are obtained on the volume element preserving deformation.When $T$ is large and the given scalar curvature is small enough,the same resu…

Non-rigidity of hyperbolic manifold under scalar curvature constraints.

In this note we give a simplified proof of a recent result of X.X. Chen, which together with work of G. Szekelyhidi implies that on a sufficiently small deformation of a polarized constant scalar curvature Kahler manifold the K-energy has a lower bound.

Paper sharpens inequality linking curvature and spectrum on manifolds.

We present a conformal deformation involving a fully nonlinear equation in dimension 4, starting with positive scalar curvature. Assuming a certain conformal invariant is positive, one may deform from positive scalar curvature to a stronger condition involving the Ricci tensor. We also give a new conformally invariant …

In this paper, we use Pacard-Xu's methods to discuss the complex deformation of constant scalar curvature metrics in the case of fixed and varying complex structures. Moreover, we also discuss the complex deformation of Kähler Ricci solitons.

New flow deforms Riemannian metrics smoothly.

This paper deals with the conformal deformation of the standard metric in a domain on the sphere to a complete metric with the constant scalar curvature. The problem of description of domains allowing such deformation originates in the works of Loewner and Nirenberg, and Schoen and Yau concerned with the locally confor…

In this article, I prove the following statement: Every compact complex surface with even first Betti number is deformation equivalent to one which admits an extremal Kähler metric. In fact, this extremal Kähler metric can even be taken to have constant scalar curvature in all but two cases: the deformation equivalence…

We carry out a Carlotto-Schoen-type gluing with interpolating scalar curvature on cone-like sets, or deformations thereof, in the category of smooth Riemannian asymptotically Euclidean metrics.

Proves rigidity of geodesic balls in spheres under certain deformations.

In this work we define a deformation theory for the Coupled Kähler-Yang-Mills equations in arXiv:1102.0991, generalizing work of Székelyhidi on constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics. We use the theory to find new solutions of the equations via deformation of the complex structure of a polarised manifold endowed with…

New metrics found with specific curvature properties on 4D manifolds.

In this article we investigate deformations of a scalar-flat Kähler metric on the total space of complex line bundles over CP^1 constructed by C. LeBrun. In particular, we find that the metric is included in a one-dimensional family of such metrics on the four-manifold, where the complex structure in the deformation is…

We present a series of results concerning the interplay between the scalar curvature of a manifold and the mean curvature of its boundary. In particular, we give a complete topological characterization of those compact 3-manifolds that support Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature and mean-convex boundary and…

It is known that the scalar curvature arises as the moment map in Kahler geometry. In pursuit of this analogy, we introduce the notion of a moment map in generalized Kahler geometry which gives the definition of a generalized scalar curvature on a generalized Kahler manifold. From the viewpoint of the moment map, we ob…

Study of exceptional algebroids in type IIA string theory.

We consider the problem of prescribing the scalar curvature and the boundary mean curvature of the standard half three sphere, by deforming conformally its standard metric. Using blow up analysis techniques and minimax arguments, we prove some existence and compactness results.

New method deforms function algebras on manifolds using spectral decomposition.

For a closed smooth manifold $M$ admitting a symplectic structure, we define a smooth topological invariant $Z(M)$ using almost-Kähler metrics, i.e. Riemannian metrics compatible with symplectic structures. We also introduce $Z(M, [[ω]])$ depending on symplectic deformation equivalence class $[[ω]]$. We first prove tha…

In this paper we extend the local scalar curvature rigidity result in [6] to a small domain on general vacuum static spaces, which confirms the interesting dichotomy of local surjectivity and local rigidity about the scalar curvature in general in the light of the paper [10]. We obtain the local scalar curvature rigidi…

Paper removes singularities from compact area minimizers in positive scalar curvature manifolds.

In this article, we prove that a quotient of a K3 surface by a free Z_2+Z_2 action does not admit any metric of positive scalar curvature. This shows that the scalar flat anti self-dual metrics (SF-ASD) on this manifold can not be obtained from a family of metrics for which the scalar curvature changes sign, contrary t…
