In a Riemannian manifold, the existence of a new connection is proved. In particular cases, this connection reduces to several symmetric, semi-symmetric and quarter-symmetric connections; even some of them are not introduced so far. We also…

We show that the norm of the Riemann curvature tensor of any smooth solution to the Ricci flow can be explicitly estimated in terms of its initial values on a given ball, a local uniform bound on the Ricci tensor, and the elapsed time. This…

We derive, under a technical assumption, the first variation formula for the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a closed manifold evolving by the Ricci flow and give some applications.

Ten sharp lower estimates of the first non-trivial eigenvalue of Laplacian on compact Riemannian manifolds are reviewed and compared. An improved variational formula, a general common estimate, and a new sharp one are added. The best lower…

We introduce a new parabolic flow deforming any Riemannian metric on a spin manifold by following a constrained gradient flow of the total scalar curvature. This flow is built out of the well-known Dirac-Einstein functional. We prove local…

In this paper, we establish that: Suppose a closed Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g_0)$ of dimension $\geq 8$ is not locally conformally flat, then the Paneitz-Sobolev constant of $M^n$ has the property that $q(g_0)<q(S^n)$. The analogy of this…
