We introduce the discrete Einstein metrics as critical points of discrete energy on triangulated 3-manifolds, and study them by discrete curvature flow of second (fourth) order. We also study the convergence of the discrete curvature flow.…

We consider the Einstein deformations of the reducible rank two symmetric spaces of noncompact type. If $M$ is the product of any two real, complex, quaternionic or octonionic hyperbolic spaces, we prove that the family of nearby Einstein…

We study complete Riemannian manifolds satisfying the equation $Ric+\nabla^2 f-\frac{1}{m}df\otimes df=0$ by studying the associated PDE $\Delta_f f + m\mu e^{2f/m}=0$ for $\mu\leq 0$. By developing a gradient estimate for $f$, we show…

Inspired by the recent work of Physicists Hertog-Horowitz-Maeda, we prove two stability results for compact Riemannian manifolds with nonzero parallel spinors. Our first result says that Ricci flat metrics which also admits nonzero parallel…

We compute a lower bound for the scalar curvature of a gradient Einstein soliton under a certain assumption on its potential function. We establish an asymptotic behavior of the potential function on a noncompact gradient shrinking Einstein…

Let $M=G/K$ be a generalized flag manifold, that is the adjoint orbit of a compact semisimple Lie group $G$. We use the variational approach to find invariant Einstein metrics for all flag manifolds with two isotropy summands. We also…

This is the second paper in a series of works devoted to nonholonomic Ricci flows. By imposing non-integrable (nonholonomic) constraints on the Ricci flows of Riemannian metrics we can model mutual transforms of generalized Finsler-Lagrange…

Para-Ricci-like solitons with arbitrary potential on para-Sasaki-like Riemannian $\Pi$-manifolds are introduced and studied. For the studied soliton, it is proved that its Ricci tensor is a constant multiple of the vertical component of…

In this paper we prove that under certain conditions in a quasi Einstein semi Riemannian warped product the fiber is necessarily a Einstein manifold. We provide all the quasi Einstein manifolds when r Bakry Emery tensor is null, the base is…

We prove the linear stability with respect to the Einstein-Hilbert action of the symmetric spaces $\mathrm{SU}(n)$, $n\geq3$, and $E_6/F_4$. Combined with earlier results, this resolves the stability problem for irreducible symmetric spaces…

In this paper we consider a perturbation of the Ricci solitons equation proposed by J. P. Bourguignon in \cite{jpb1}. We show that these structures are more rigid then standard Ricci solitons. In particular, we prove that there is only one…

Until recently, Ricci flow was viewed almost exclusively as a way of deforming Riemannian metrics of bounded curvature. Unfortunately, the bounded curvature hypothesis is unnatural for many applications, but is hard to drop because so many…

We illustrate the flow or wave character of the metrics and curvatures of evolving manifolds, introducing the Riemann flow and the Riemann wave via the bialternate product Riemannian metric. This kind of evolutions are new and very natural…

For each non-flat, unimodular Ricci soliton solvmanifold $(\mathsf{S}_0,g_0)$, we construct a one-parameter family of complete, expanding, gradient Ricci solitons that admit a cohomogeneity one isometric action by $\mathsf{S}_0$. The orbits…

We study the Ricci flow of initial metrics which are C^0-perturbations of the hyperbolic metric on H^n. If the perturbation is bounded in the L^2-sense, and small enough in the C^0-sense, then we show the following: In dimensions four and…

Topological stars, or top stars for brevity, are smooth horizonless static solutions of Einstein-Maxwell theory in 5-d that reduce to spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory in 4-d. We study linear scalar…

We present the necessary and sufficient conditions for constructing gradient Ricci almost solitons that are realized as warped products. This will be done by means of Bishop-O'Neill's formulas and a particular study of Riemannian manifolds…

We show using covariant techniques that the Einstein static universe containing a perfect fluid is always neutrally stable against small inhomogeneous vector and tensor perturbations and neutrally stable against adiabatic scalar density…

We address the stability issue of Ricci-flat and maximally symmetric spacetimes in nonlocal gravity to all perturbative orders in the gravitational perturbation. Assuming a potential at least cubic in curvature tensors but quadratic in the…
