A weighted renormalized curvature for manifolds with density

Differential Geometry 2016-03-10 v1

Abstract

We introduce a scalar invariant on manifolds with density which is analogous to the renormalized volume coefficient v3v_3 in conformal geometry. We show that this invariant is variational and that shrinking gradient Ricci solitons are stable with respect to the associated W\mathcal{W}-functional.
