In this paper, we consider asymptotically flat Riemannnian manifolds $(M^n,g)$ with $C^0$ metric $g$ and $g$ is smooth away from a closed bounded subset $\Sigma$ and the scalar curvature $R_g\ge 0$ on $M\setminus \Sigma$. For given $n\le…

A left invariant metric on a nilpotent Lie group is called minimal, if it minimizes the norm of the Ricci tensor among all left invariant metrics with the same scalar curvature. Such metrics are unique up to isometry and scaling and the…

We discuss smooth metric measure spaces admitting two weighted Einstein representatives of the same weighted conformal class. First, we describe the local geometries of such manifolds in terms of certain Einstein and quasi-Einstein warped…

Let $(M, g_0)$ be a closed 4-manifold with positive Yamabe invariant and with $L^2$-small Weyl curvature tensor. Let $g_1 \in [g_0]$ be any metric in the conformal class of $g_0$ whose scalar curvature is $L^2$-close to a constant. We prove…

This paper is concerned with the construction of special metrics on non-compact 4-manifolds which arise as resolutions of complex orbifold singularities. Our study is close in spirit to the construction of the hyperkaehler gravitational…

In this work we wish characterize the Einstein manifolds $(M,g)$, however without the necessity of hypothesis of compactness over $M$ and unitary volume of $g$, which are well known in many works. Our result says that if all eingenvalues…
