We construct Einstein metrics of non-positive scalar curvature on certain solid torus bundles over a Fano Kahler-Einstein manifold. We show, among other things, that the negative Einstein metrics are conformally compact, and the Ricci-flat…

Motivated by the work of Li and Mantoulidis, we study singular metrics which are uniformly Euclidean $(L^\infty)$ on a compact manifold $M^n$ ($n\ge 3$) with negative Yamabe invariant $\sigma(M)$. It is well-known that if $g$ is a smooth…

A Riemannian manifold $(M,\rho)$ is called Einstein if the metric $\rho$ satisfies the condition $\Ric (\rho)=c\cdot \rho$ for some constant $c$. This paper is devoted to the investigation of $G$-invariant Einstein metrics with additional…

On a 4-dimensional compact symplectic manifold, we consider a smooth family of compatible almost-complex structures such that at time zero the induced metric is Hermite-Einstein almost-K\"ahler metric with zero or negative Hermitian scalar…

We show that an enlargeable Riemannian metric on a (possibly nonspin) manifold cannot have uniformly positive scalar curvature. This extends a well-known result of Gromov and Lawson to the nonspin setting. We also prove that every…

We obtain new examples of non-symmetric Einstein solvmanifolds by combining two techniques. In \cite{T2}, H. Tamaru constructs new {\em attached} solvmanifolds, which are submanifolds of the solvmanifolds corresponding to noncompact…

We examine here the space of conformally compact metrics $g$ on the interior of a compact manifold with boundary which have the property that the $k^{th}$ elementary symmetric function of the Schouten tensor $A_g$ is constant. When $k=1$…

The aim of this article is to construct initial data for the Einstein equations on manifolds of the form R n+1 x T m , which are asymptotically flat at infinity, without assuming any symmetry condition in the compact direction. We use the…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian $n$-manifold, we denote by $\Ric$ and $\Scal$ the Ricci and the scalar curvatures of $g$. For scalars $k<n$, the modified Einstein tensors denoted $\Eink$ are defined as $\Eink :=\Scal \, g -k\Ric$. Note that the…
