Abstract  

Let M n be an n(≧ 3)-dimensional compact, simply connected Riemannian manifold without boundary and S n be the unit sphere of the Euclidean space R n+1. By two different means we derive an estimate of the diameter whenever the manifold considered satisfies that the sectional curvature K M ≦ 1, while Ric (M) ≧

Abstract  

Based on the celebrated 1/4-pinching sphere theorem, we prove a differentiable sphere theorem on Riemannian manifolds with reverse volume pinching.

Abstract  

Because of the different possible forms (Segre types) of the Ricci operator, semi-symmetry assumption for the curvature of a Lorentzian manifold turns out to have very different consequences with respect to the Riemannian case. In fact, a semi-symmetric homogeneous Riemannian manifold is necessarily symmetric, while we find some three-dimensional homogeneous Lorentzian manifolds which are semi-symmetric but not symmetric. The complete classification of three-dimensional semi-symmetric homogeneous Lorentzian manifolds is obtained.

Abstract

We investigate Ricci solitons on Lorentzian three-manifolds (M,g f ) admitting a parallel degenerate line field. For several classes of these manifolds, described in terms of the defining function f, the existence of non-trivial Ricci solitons is proved.
