We construct explicit complete Ricci-flat metrics on the total spaces of certain vector bundles over flag manifolds of the group $SU(n)$, for all K\"ahler classes. These metrics are natural generalizations of the metrics of Candelas-de la…

Let $(M^n, g, f)$, $n\geq 5$, be a complete gradient expanding Ricci soliton with nonnegative Ricci curvature $Rc\geq 0$. In this paper, we show that if the asymptotic scalar curvature ratio of $(M^n, g, f)$ is finite (i.e., $ \limsup_{r\to…

Let (M,g) be a complete noncompact riemannian manifold with bounded geometry and parallel Ricci curvature. We show that some operators, "affine" relatively to the Ricci curvature, are locally invertible, in some classical Sobolev spaces,…

We show that for any Ricci-flat manifold with Euclidean volume growth the tangent cone at infinity is unique if one tangent cone has a smooth cross-section. Similarly, for any noncollapsing limit of Einstein manifolds with uniformly bounded…

It is well known that in Lorentzian geometry there are no compact spherical space forms; in dimension 3, this means there are no closed Einstein 3-manifolds with positive Einstein constant. We generalize this fact here, by proving that…

We study here limit spaces $(M_\alpha,g_\alpha,p_\alpha)\stackrel{GH}{\rightarrow} (Y,d_Y,p)$, where the $M_\alpha$ have a lower Ricci curvature bound and are volume noncollapsed. Such limits $Y$ may be quite singular, however it is known…

Suppose $M$ is a manifold with boundary. Choose a point $o\in\partial M$. We investigate the prescribed Ricci curvature equation $\Ric(G)=T$ in a neighborhood of $o$ under natural boundary conditions. The unknown $G$ here is a Riemannian…

This is a continuation of the research in [16]. Let $(\overline{M},g_{-1})$ be a closed geodesic $r_0$-ball in the hyperbolic space $(\mathbb{H}^n,g_{-1})$. Let $m\neq1$ be a positive constant. In this paper, we show that for $n\geq3$,…

The prescribed Ricci curvature problem in the context of G-invariant metrics on a homogeneous space M=G/K is studied. We focus on the metrics at which the Ricci curvature map is, locally, as injective and surjective as it can be. Our main…

We show that for a noncollapsing sequence of closed, connected, oriented Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature uniformly bounded from below and diameter uniformly bounded above, Gromov-Hausdorff convergence essentially agrees with…

We obtain some rigidity results for metrics whose Schouten tensor is bounded from below after conformal transformations. Liang Cheng recently proved that a complete, nonflat, locally conformally flat manifold with Ricci pinching condition…

We develop new techniques in order to deal with Riccati-type equations, subject to a further algebraic constraint, on Riemannian manifolds $(M^3,g)$. We find that the obstruction to solve the aforementioned equation has order $4$ in the…

It is shown by Colding and Minicozzi the uniqueness of the tangent cone at infinity of Ricci-flat manifolds with Euclidean volume growth which has at least one tangent cone at infinity with a smooth cross section. In this article we raise…

We consider smooth solutions (M,g(t)), 0 <= t <T, to Ricci flow on compact, connected, four dimensional manifolds without boundary. We assume that the scalar curvature is bounded uniformly, and that T is finite. In this case, we show that…

We study a new class of rank two sub-Riemannian manifolds encompassing Riemannian manifolds, CR manifolds with vanishing Webster-Tanaka torsion, orthonormal bundles over Riemannian manifolds, and graded nilpotent Lie groups of step two.…

We study the pseudoriemannian geometry of almost parahermitian manifolds, obtaining a formula for the Ricci tensor of the Levi-Civita connection. The formula uses the intrinsic torsion of an underlying SL(n,R)-structure; we express it in…

In this paper, we present a Lichnerowicz type estimate and (higher order) Buser type estimates for the magnetic Laplacian on a closed Riemannian manifold with a magnetic potential. These results relate eigenvalues, magnetic fields, Ricci…
