Computing Perelman's nu-functional

Differential Geometry 2012-05-03 v2

Abstract

This is a short note in which we show how to calculate the value of Perelman's nu-functional for a variety of metrics. In particular we complete the calculation of values for the known 4-dimensional Einstein and shrinking Ricci soliton metrics.
