In particular, it follows that for any n ∈ N0 and for L a negative line bundle over a compact Kähler manifold D, the total space of the vector bundle L⊕(n+1) admits a unique AC expanding gradient Kähler-Ricci soliton with soliton vector field a positive multiple of the Euler vector field if and only if c1(KD⊗(L)) > 0. This generalises the examples already known in the literature. We further prove a general uniqueness result and show that the space of certain AC expanding gradient Kähler-Ricci solitons on C with positive curvature operator on (1, 1)-forms is path-connected.","PeriodicalId":15642,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Differential Geometry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47952089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Khuri","doi":"10.4310/jdg/1669998184","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4310/jdg/1669998184","url":null,"abstract":"We give a lower bound for the Lorentz length of the ADM energy-momentum vector (ADM mass) of 3-dimensional asymptotically flat initial data sets for the Einstein equations. The bound is given in terms of linear growth `spacetime harmonic functions' in addition to the energy-momentum density of matter fields, and is valid regardless of whether the dominant energy condition holds or whether the data possess a boundary. A corollary of this result is a new proof of the spacetime positive mass theorem for complete initial data or those with weakly trapped surface boundary, and includes the rigidity statement which asserts that the mass vanishes if and only if the data arise from Minkowski space. The proof has some analogy with both the Witten spinorial approach as well as the marginally outer trapped surface (MOTS) method of Eichmair, Huang, Lee, and Schoen. Furthermore, this paper generalizes the harmonic level set technique used in the Riemannian case by Bray, Stern, and the second and third authors, albeit with a different class of level sets. Thus, even in the time-symmetric (Riemannian) case a new inequality is achieved.","PeriodicalId":15642,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Differential Geometry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48166512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, we study the rigidity of the standard sphere if we fixed its geometric center in the ambient space. Finally, we discuss a Shi-Tam type of inequality for the Schwarzschild manifold as an application of our findings.","PeriodicalId":15642,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Differential Geometry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47159225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the relevant representation is Fuchsian and has hyperbolic monodromy, our construction recovers a family of harmonic maps originally studied by Wolf. \u0000We employ these maps to solve a domination problem for representations. In particular, following ideas laid out by Deroin-Tholozan, we prove that any representation from a finitely generated free group to the isometry group of a CAT$(-1)$ Hadamard manifold is strictly dominated in length spectrum by a large collection of Fuchsian ones. As an intermediate step in the proof, we obtain a result of independent interest: parametrizations of certain Teichm{\"u}ller spaces by holomorphic quadratic differentials. The main consequence of the domination result is the existence of a new collection of anti-de Sitter $3$-manifolds. We also present an application to the theory of minimal immersions into the Grassmanian of timelike planes in $mathbb{R}^{2,2}$.","PeriodicalId":15642,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Differential Geometry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2019-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43155045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
