We prove entropy rigidity for finite volume strictly convex projective manifolds in dimensions $\geq 3$, generalizing the work of arXiv:1708.03983 to the finite volume setting. The rigidity theorem uses the techniques of Besson, Courtois,…

In the present paper, we prove a stability theorem for the Kaehler Ricci flow near the infimum of the functional E_1 under the assumption that the initial metric has Ricci > -1 and |Riem| bounded. At present stage, our main theorem still…

We show that if a complete Riemannian manifold supports a vector field such that the Ricci tensor plus the Lie derivative of the metric with respect to the vector field has a positive lower bound, then the fundamental group is finite. In…

The characterization of a six- (or seven)-dimensional internal manifold with metric as having positive, zero or negative curvature is expected to be an important aspect of warped compactifications in supergravity. In this context, Douglas…

In this note we reprove a theorem of Gromov using Ricci flow. The theorem states that a, possibly non-constant, lower bound on the scalar curvature is stable under $C^0$-convergence of the metric.

In this article, we investigate four-dimensional gradient shrinking Ricci solitons close to a K\"ahler model. The first theorem could be considered as a rigidity result for the K\"ahler-Ricci soliton structure on $\mathbb{S}^2\times…

In this paper we prove the theorem that there exists no 7--dimensional Lie group manifold G of weak G2 holonomy. We actually prove a stronger statement, namely that there exists no 7--dimensional Lie group with negative definite Ricci…

We study the structure of Gromov-Hausdorff limits of sequences of Riemannian manifolds $\{(M_\alpha^n,g_\alpha)\}_{\alpha \in A}$ whose Ricci curvature satisfies a uniform Kato bound. We first obtain Mosco convergence of the Dirichlet…

We obtain new topological restrictions for complete Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and RCD(0,n) spaces. Our main results are a Betti number rigidity theorem which answers a question open since work of M.-T. Anderson…

We prove that a shrinking gradient Ricci soliton which agrees to infinite order at spatial infinity with one of the standard cylindrical metrics on $S^k\times \RR^{n-k}$ for $k\geq 2$ along some end must be isometric to the cylinder on that…

In this paper we obtain generalized Calabi-type compactness criteria for complete Riemannian manifolds that allow the presence of negative amounts of Ricci curvature. These, in turn, can be rephrased as new conditions for the positivity,…

Ricci curvature was proposed by Ollivier in a general framework of metric measure spaces, and it has been studied extensively in the context of graphs in recent years. In this paper we prove upper bounds for Ollivier's Ricci curvature for…

In this paper, we study the rigidity of eigenvalues of shring Ricci solitons. It is known that the drifted Laplacian on shrinking Ricci solitons has discrete spectrum, its eigenvalues have a lower bound and a rigidity result holds. Firstly,…
