Conformal Embeddings via Heat Kernel

Differential Geometry 2023-09-12 v3

Abstract

For any n-dimensional compact Riemannian Manifold MM with smooth metric gg, by employing the heat kernel embedding introduced by B\'erard-Besson-Gallot'94, we intrinsically construct a canonical family of conformal embeddings Ct,kC_{t,k}: MRq(t)M\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{q(t)}, with t>0t>0 sufficiently small, q(t)tn2q(t)\gg t^{-\frac{n}{2}}, and kk as a function of O(tl)O(t^l) in proper sense. Our approach involves finding all these canonical conformal embeddings, which shows the distinctions from the isometric embeddings introduced by Wang-Zhu'15.
