AbstractAs a generalization of the Yamabe problem, Hebey and Vaugon considered the equivariant Yamabe problem: for a subgroup G of the isometry group, find a G-invariant metric whose scalar curvature is constant in a given conformal class. In this paper, we study the equivariant Yamabe problem with boundary.

Let [Formula: see text] be a three-dimensional Lie group with a bi-invariant metric. Consider [Formula: see text] a strictly convex domain in [Formula: see text]. We prove that if [Formula: see text] is a stable CMC free-boundary surface in [Formula: see text] then [Formula: see text] has genus either 0 or 1, and at most three boundary components. This result was proved by Nunes [I. Nunes, On stable constant mean curvature surfaces with free-boundary, Math. Z. 287(1–2) (2017) 73–479] for the case where [Formula: see text] and by R. Souam for the case where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a geodesic ball with radius [Formula: see text], excluding the possibility of [Formula: see text] having three boundary components. Besides [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], our result also apply to the spaces [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. When [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a geodesic ball with radius [Formula: see text], we obtain that if [Formula: see text] is stable then [Formula: see text] is a totally umbilical disc. In order to prove those results, we use an extended stability inequality and a modified Hersch type balancing argument to get a better control on the genus and on the number of connected components of the boundary of the surfaces.

Abstract Classical rotating closed string are folded strings. At the folding points the scalar curvature associated with the induced metric diverges. As a consequence one cannot properly quantize the fluctuations around the classical solution since there is no complete set of normalizable eigenmodes. Furthermore in the non-critical effective string action of Polchinski and Strominger, there is a divergence associated with the folds. We overcome this obstacle by putting a massive particle at each folding point which can be used as a regulator. Using this method we compute the spectrum of quantum fluctuations around the rotating string and the intercept of the leading Regge trajectory. The results we find are that the intercepts are a = 1 and a = 2 for the open and closed string respectively, independent of the target space dimension. We argue that in generic theories with an effective string description, one can expect corrections from finite masses associated with either the endpoints of an open string or the folding points on a closed string. We compute explicitly the corrections in the presence of these masses.

AbstractWe study some types of qc-Einstein manifolds with zero qc-scalar curvature introduced by S. Ivanov and D. Vassilev. Secondly, we shall construct a family of quaternionic Hermitian metrics $$(g_a,\{J_\alpha \}_{\alpha =1}^3)$$ ( g a , { J α } α = 1 3 ) on the domain Y of the standard quaternion space $${\mathbb {H}}^n$$ H n one of which, say $$(g_a,J_1)$$ ( g a , J 1 ) is a Bochner flat Kähler metric. To do so, we deform conformally the standard quaternionic contact structure on the domain X of the quaternionic Heisenberg Lie group$${{\mathcal {M}}}$$ M to obtain quaternionic Hermitian metrics on the quotient Y of X by $${\mathbb {R}}^3$$ R 3 .

AbstractWe extend the Lyapunov–Schmidt analysis of outlying stable constant mean curvature spheres in the work of S. Brendle and the second-named author [S. Brendle and M. Eichmair, Isoperimetric and Weingarten surfaces in the Schwarzschild manifold, J. Differential Geom. 94 2013, 3, 387–407] to the “far-off-center” regime and to include general Schwarzschild asymptotics. We obtain sharp existence and non-existence results for large stable constant mean curvature spheres that depend delicately on the behavior of scalar curvature at infinity.

Yamabe Soliton

If [Formula: see text] is a 3-dimensional contact metric manifold such that [Formula: see text] which admits a Yamabe soliton [Formula: see text] with the flow vector field [Formula: see text] pointwise collinear with the Reeb vector field [Formula: see text], then we show that the scalar curvature is constant and the manifold is Sasakian. Moreover, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is endowed with a Yamabe soliton [Formula: see text], then either [Formula: see text] is flat or it has constant scalar curvature and the flow vector field [Formula: see text] is Killing. Furthermore, we show that if [Formula: see text] is non-flat, then either [Formula: see text] is a Sasakian manifold of constant curvature [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] is an infinitesimal automorphism of the contact metric structure on [Formula: see text].
