Einstein metrics and preserved curvature conditions for the Ricci flow

Differential Geometry 2010-04-05 v1

Abstract

Let C be a cone in the space of algebraic curvature tensors. Moreover, let (M,g) be a compact Einstein manifold with the property that the curvature tensor of (M,g) lies in the cone C at each point on M. We show that (M,g) has constant sectional curvature if the cone C satisfies certain structure conditions.
