Abstract We study global obstructions to the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor on a Riemannian 3-manifold. As a topological obstruction, we first show that if the 3-manifold is closed, then certain choices of the eigenvalues are prohibited: in particular, there is no Riemannian metric whose corresponding Ricci eigenvalues take the form (−μ, f, f), where μ is a positive constant and f is a smooth positive function. We then concentrate on the case when one of the eigenvalues is zero. Here we show that if the manifold is complete and its Ricci eigenvalues take the form (0, λ, λ), where λ is a positive constant, then its universal cover must split isometrically. If the manifold is closed, scalar-flat, and its zero eigenspace contains a unit length vector field that is geodesic and divergence-free, then the manifold must be flat. Our techniques also apply to the study of Ricci solitons in dimension three.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to extend for the m-quasi-Einstein metrics some integral formulae obtained in [1] (C. Aquino, A. Barros and E. Ribeiro Jr., Some applications of the Hodge-de Rham decomposition to Ricci solitons, Results Math. 60 (2011), 245–254) for Ricci solitons and derive similar results achieved there. Moreover, we shall extend the m-Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor for a vector field X on a Riemannian manifold instead of a gradient field ∇f, in order to obtain some results concerning these manifolds that generalize their correspondents to a gradient field.

Let $M$ be a Fano manifold. We call a Kähler metric ${\it\omega}\in c_{1}(M)$ a Kähler–Ricci soliton if it satisfies the equation $\text{Ric}({\it\omega})-{\it\omega}=L_{V}{\it\omega}$ for some holomorphic vector field $V$ on $M$. It is known that a necessary condition for the existence of Kähler–Ricci solitons is the vanishing of the modified Futaki invariant introduced by Tian and Zhu. In a recent work of Berman and Nyström, it was generalized for (possibly singular) Fano varieties, and the notion of algebrogeometric stability of the pair $(M,V)$ was introduced. In this paper, we propose a method of computing the modified Futaki invariant for Fano complete intersections in projective spaces.

In our very recent published work [Int. J. Geom. Meth. Mod. Phys.8(4) (2011) 783–796], we considered the Riemannian manifold M = ℝ2 endowed with the warped metric ḡ(x, y) = diag (g(y), 1), where g is a positive function, of C∞-class, depending on the variable y only. Within this framework, we found a wide class of 2D gradient Ricci solitons and specialized our results to discuss some case studies. This research is a natural continuation, providing classification results for the subclass of steady gradient Ricci solitons.

AbstractOn a real hypersurface M in a complex two-plane Grassmannian G2() we have the Lie derivation and a differential operator of order one associated with the generalized Tanaka–Webster connection . We give a classification of real hypersurfaces M on G2() satisfying , where ξ is the Reeb vector field on M and S the Ricci tensor of M.

In this paper, we introduce a Riemannian metric [Formula: see text] and a family of framed f-structures on the slit tangent bundle [Formula: see text] of a Finsler manifold Fn = (M, F). Then we prove that there exists an almost contact structure on the tangent bundle, when this structure is restricted to the Finslerian indicatrix. We show that this structure is Sasakian if and only if Fn is of positive constant curvature 1. Finally, we prove that (i) Fn is a locally flat Riemannian manifold if and only if [Formula: see text], (ii) the Jacobi operator [Formula: see text] is zero or commuting if and only if (M, F) have the zero flag curvature.

AbstractIn this paper we studyη-Ricci solitons on Sasakian 3-manifolds. Among others we prove that anη-Ricci soliton on a Sasakian 3-manifold is anη-Einstien manifold. Moreover we considerη-Ricci solitons on Sasakian 3-manifolds with Ricci tensor of Codazzi type and cyclic parallel Ricci tensor. Beside these we study conformally flat andφ-Ricci symmetricη-Ricci soliton on Sasakian 3-manifolds. Alsoη-Ricci soliton on Sasakian 3-manifolds with the curvature conditionQ.R= 0 have been considered. Finally, we construct an example to prove the non-existence of properη-Ricci solitons on Sasakian 3-manifolds and verify some results.

We consider the problem −Δu = c0K(x)upε, u > 0 in Ω, u = 0 on δΩ, where Ω is a smooth, bounded domain in ℝN, N ≥ 3, c0 = N(N − 2), pε = (N + 2)/(N − 2) − ε and K is a smooth, positive function on . We prove that least-energy solutions of the above problem are non-degenerate for small ε > 0 under some assumptions on the coefficient function K. This is a generalization of the recent result by Grossi for K ≡ 1, and needs precise estimates and a new argument.

A Ricci soliton (M, g, v, λ) on a Riemannian manifold (M, g) is said to have concurrent potential field if its potential field v is a concurrent vector field. Ricci solitons arisen from concurrent vector fields on Riemannian manifolds were studied recently in [Ricci solitons and concurrent vector fields, preprint (2014), arXiv:1407.2790]. The most important concurrent vector field is the position vector field on Euclidean submanifolds. In this paper we completely classify Ricci solitons on Euclidean hypersurfaces arisen from the position vector field of the hypersurfaces.

UDC 514.7 The object of the present paper is to study three-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifolds admitting η -Ricci soliton. Actually, we study such manifolds whose Ricci tensor satisfy some special conditions like cyclic parallelity, Ricci semisymmetry, ϕ -Ricci semisymmetry, after reviewing the properties of second order parallel tensors on such manifolds. We determine the form of Riemann curvature tensor of trans-Sasakian manifolds of dimension greater than three as Kagan subprojective spaces. We also give some classification results of trans-Sasakian manifolds of dimension greater than three as Kagan subprojective spaces.
