Smoothing out positively curved metric cones by Ricci expanders

Differential Geometry 2015-03-02 v1

Abstract

We investigate the possibility of desingularizing a positively curved metric cone by an expanding gradient Ricci soliton with positive curvature operator. This amounts to study the deformation of such geometric structures. As a consequence, we prove that the moduli space of conical positively curved gradient Ricci expanders is connected.
