Abstract

We consider the four-dimensional nonholonomic distribution defined by the 4-potential of the electromagnetic field on the manifold. This distribution has a metric tensor with the Lorentzian signature $(+,-,-,-)$, therefore, the causal structure appears as in the general relativity theory. By means of the Pontryagin's maximum principle we proved that the equations of the horizontal geodesics for this distribution are the same as the equations of motion of a charged particle in the general relativity theory. This is a Kaluza -- Klein problem of classical and quantum physics solved by methods of sub-Lorentzian geometry. We study the geodesics sphere which appears in a constant magnetic field and its singular points. Sufficiently long geodesics are not optimal solutions of the variational problem and define the nonholonomic wavefront. This wavefront is limited by a convex elliptic cone. We also study variational principle approach to the problem. The Euler -- Lagrange equations are the same as those obtained by the Pontryagin's maximum principle if the restriction of the metric tensor on the distribution is the same.

On the topology of manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and linear volume growth

Understanding the relationships between geometry and topology is a central theme in Riemannian geometry. We establish two results on the fundamental groups of open (complete and noncompact) $n$-manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and linear volume growth. First, we show that the fundamental group of such a manifold contains a subgroup $\mathbb{Z}^k$ of finite index, where $0\le k\le n-1$. Second, we prove that if the Ricci curvature is positive everywhere, then the fundamental group is finite. The proofs are based on an analysis of the equivariant asymptotic geometry of successive covering spaces and a plane/halfplane rigidity result for RCD spaces.

K-polystability of Asymptotically Conical Kähler-Ricci Shrinkers

Recently, Sun-Zhang have developed an algebraic theory for Kähler-Ricci shrinkers showing that they admit the structure of a polarized Fano fibration $(π: X \to Y, ξ)$. In particular, they conjecture that existence of a Kähler-Ricci shrinker metric is equivalent to a notion of K-stability. We prove one direction of this conjecture, namely that existence of a Kähler-Ricci shrinker metric $g$ implies K-polystability of $(π: X \to Y, ξ)$, in the case that the Ricci curvature of $g$ decays at infinity. As an application, we give a non-existence result: if $M$ is the blowup of a six-dimensional quadric along a two-dimensional subquadric, then the total space $X$ of the cube root of $K_M$ is a polarized Fano fibration not admitting a Kähler-Ricci shrinker.

Observações sobre funções potenciais de variedades quase-Einstein não compactas

Neste artigo, estudamos o conjunto de funções potenciais em variedades quase Einstein não compactas. Mostramos que o espaço de todas as funções potenciais positivas em uma variedade tridimensional não compacta quase-Einstein tem dimensão no máximo dois, e que a igualdade vale se e somente se a variedade for isométrica a um produto $B\times\mathbb{R}$, onde $B$ é uma superfície $λ$-Einstein ou um dos exemplos obtidos por L. Berard Bergery e descritos no livro de Besse. Além disso, provamos que qualquer variedade quase-Einstein assintoticamente plana $n$-dimensional com $λ=0$ é necessariamente Ricci-plana.
