Balancing The 2-Systoles Of Some K{\"a}hler Manifolds With Positive Scalar Curvature

Abstract

Theorems by Bray-Brendle-Neves and Zhu about positive scalar curvature metrics on products of a 2-sphere and an n-torus suggests that positive scalar curvature suggests and appropriate topological assumptions should lead to the existence of a topologically non trivial 2-spheres of small area, which can be stated as upper bound on the 2-systole of such manifolds. Recent progress have been made in this direction by Sha and Tsiamis under the additional K{\"a}hler assumption while Checcini-Hirsh-Ziedler, Stryker and Tsiamis showed similar upper bounds on the stable 2-systole using index theoretic methods. We prove here similar inequalities for some K{\"a}hler manifold which control the relative sizes of the representatives of a well chosen set of homology classes. For instance on $(\mathbb{CP}^1x\mathbb{CP}^1 , \omega)$ with a positive scalar curvature K{\"a}hler metric we quantitavely show that largeness of one factor imposes smallness of the other one.

The $q$-deformed cross-ratio: modular invariants and Coxeter friezes

We introduce and study a scalar $q$-deformation of the cross-ratio on $\mathbb P^1(\mathbb Q)$. Our construction is based on the notion of $q$-deformed rational numbers due to Morier-Genoud and the author. The $q$-cross-ratio is invariant under $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$, while elements of determinant $-1$ of $\mathrm{PGL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ act by $q\mapsto q^{-1}$. A principal result is its relation to $q$-deformed Coxeter friezes associated with rational polygons. The expansion at $q=e^h$ yields an algebraically independent sequence of modular invariants and relative invariants, although this sequence does not separate modular orbits. We compute the first two nonconstant coefficients of this expansion explicitly.

The Cartan-Hadamard conjecture in dimension five

We show that the sharp Euclidean isoperimetric inequality holds for domains in complete simply connected Riemannian $5$-manifolds of nonpositive sectional curvature, which establishes the Cartan-Hadamard conjecture in that dimension. The main step is a sharp inequality for constant-mean-curvature hypersurfaces, proved via integrals over pairs of boundary points, in the spirit of Banchoff-Pohl, together with an estimate for Jacobi fields along geodesic chords. The inequality persists for boundaries of isoperimetric regions in geodesic balls, whose mean curvature is constant only on the free part. An isoperimetric-profile argument, after Kleiner, completes the proof. Our method also gives a new proof in dimension $3$.

On static manifolds with boundary admitting a nowhere-vanishing static potential

We study complete static manifolds with boundary admitting a nowhere-vanishing static potential. Our main result shows that, under a natural lower bound relating the scalar curvature and the boundary mean curvature, a simple static manifold with boundary must in fact have positive scalar curvature, negative boundary mean curvature, and be compact; we also obtain explicit relations and estimates involving the volume of the manifold and the geometry of its boundary. In the scalar-flat case, we prove global splitting and Ricci-flat rigidity results, including for disconnected boundary, while in the negative scalar curvature case we establish a sharp mean-curvature bound and characterize the equality case by an exponential warped-product structure. The proofs rely essentially on the study of the associated Einstein manifold. In appendix we derive several identities for static manifolds with boundary and discuss the associated Einstein manifold technique in the boundaryless setting.
