Gluing manifolds with boundary and bordisms of positive scalar curvature metricsKazaras, Demetre 06 September 2017 (has links)
This thesis presents two main results on analytic and topological aspects of scalar curvature. The first is a gluing theorem for scalar-flat manifolds with vanishing mean curvature on the boundary. Our methods involve tools from conformal geometry and perturbation techniques for nonlinear elliptic PDE. The second part studies bordisms of positive scalar curvature metrics. We present a modification of the Schoen-Yau minimal hypersurface technique to manifolds with boundary which allows us to prove a hereditary property for bordisms of positive scalar curvature metrics. The main technical result is a convergence theorem for stable minimal hypersurfaces with free boundary in bordisms with long collars which may be of independent interest.

Mass Estimates, Conformal Techniques, and Singularities in General RelativityJauregui, Jeffrey Loren January 2010 (has links)
<p>In general relativity, the Riemannian Penrose inequality (RPI) provides a lower bound for the ADM mass of an asymptotically flat manifold of nonnegative scalar curvature in terms of the area of the outermost minimal surface, if one exists. In physical terms, an equivalent statement is that the total mass of an asymptotically flat spacetime admitting a time-symmetric spacelike slice is at least the mass of any black holes that are present, assuming nonnegative energy density. The main goal of this thesis is to deduce geometric lower bounds for the ADM mass of manifolds to which neither the RPI nor the famous positive mass theorem (PMT) apply. This is the case, for instance, for manifolds that contain metric singularities or have boundary components that are not minimal surfaces.</p>
<p>The fundamental technique is the use of conformal deformations of a given Riemannian metric to arrive at a new Riemannian manifold to which either the PMT or RPI applies. Along the way we are led to consider the geometry of certain types non-smooth metrics. We prove a result regarding the local structure of area-minimizing hypersurfaces with respect such metrics using geometric measure theory.</p>
<p>One application is to the theory of ``zero area singularities,'' a type of singularity that generalizes the degenerate behavior of the Schwarzschild metric of negative mass. Another application deals with constructing and understanding some new invariants of the harmonic conformal class of an asymptotically flat metric.</p> / Dissertation

Metrics of positive scalar curvature and generalised Morse functionsWalsh, Mark, 1976- 06 1900 (has links)
x, 164 p. : ill. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / We study the topology of the space of metrics of positive scalar curvature on a compact manifold. The main tool we use for constructing such metrics is the surgery technique of Gromov and Lawson. We extend this technique to construct families of positive scalar curvature cobordisms and concordances which are parametrised by Morse functions and later, by generalised Morse functions. We then use these results to study concordances of positive scalar curvature metrics on simply connected manifolds of dimension at least five. In particular, we describe a subspace of the space of positive scalar curvature concordances, parametrised by generalised Morse functions. We call such concordances Gromov-Lawson concordances. One of the main results is that positive scalar curvature metrics which are Gromov-Lawson concordant are in fact isotopic. This work relies heavily on contemporary Riemannian geometry as well as on differential topology, in particular pseudo-isotopy theory. We make substantial use of the work of Eliashberg and Mishachev on wrinkled maps and of results by Hatcher and Igusa on the space of generalised Morse functions. / Committee in charge: Boris Botvinnik, Chairperson, Mathematics;

Previous issue date: 2017-08-25 / This work does study the complete minimal hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space R4 , with Gauss-Kronecker curvature identically zero. Our main result is to prove that if f: M3 → R4 is a complete minimal hypersurface with Gauss-Kronecker curvature identically zero, nowhere vanishing second fundamental form and scalar curvature boun-ded from below, then f(M3) splits as a Euclidean product L2 × R , where L2 is a complete minimal surface in R3 with Gaussian curvature bounded from below. Moreover, we show a result about the Gauss-Kronecker curvature of f, without any assumption on the scalar curvature. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar as hipersuperfícies mínimas em R4, com curvatura de Gauss-Kronecker identicamente zero. Como resultado principal provamos que se f : M3 → R4 é uma hipersuperfície mínima com curvatura de Gauss-Kronecker identicamente zero, segunda forma fundamental não se anulando em nenhum ponto e curvatura escalar limitada inferiormente, então f(M3) se decompõe como um produto euclidiano do tipo L2 × R , onde L2 é uma superfície mínima de R3 com curvatura Gaussiana limitada inferiormente. Finalmente, apresentamos um resultado sobre a curvatura de Gauss-Kronecker de f sem nenhuma hipótese sobre a curvatura escalar.

Flot de Yamabe avec courbure scalaire prescrite / Yamabe flow with prescribed scalar curvatureAmacha, Inas 30 November 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse est consacrée à l'étude d'une famille des flots géométriques associés au problème de la courbure scalaire prescrite sur une variété riemannienne compacte. Plus précisément, si on désigne par (M,g0) une variété riemannienne compacte de dimension n≥3, et si F∈C∞ (M) est une fonction donnée, le problème de la courbure scalaire prescrite consiste à trouver une métrique g conforme à g0 telle que F soit sa courbure scalaire. Ce problème est équivalent à la résolution de l'EDP suivante :-4 (n-1)/(n-2) ∆u+R0 u=Fu((n+2)/(n-2 )) , u>0 , (E), Où R0 est la courbure scalaire de la métrique initiale g0 et ∆ est le laplacien associé à g0. Il s'agit d'une équation elliptique non-linéaire dont la difficulté principale provient du terme u((n+2)/(n-2 )). Hormis le cas de la sphère standard Sn , tous les travaux consacrés à l'étude de l'équation (E) sont basés sur la méthode variationnelle. Dans cette thèse, on développe une autre approche basée sur l'étude d'une famille de flots géométriques qui permet, entre autres, de résoudre l'équation (E). La question dépend bien entendu de la métrique initiale g0 et en particulier du signe de sa courbure scalaire R0. Les flots introduits sont des flots de gradient associés à deux fonctionnelles distinctes dépendant du signe de R0. La première partie de cette thèse est consacrée au cas R0<0 et dans la deuxième partie on traite le cas R0>0. Dans les deux cas, on démontre l'existence globale du flot et on étudie son comportement asymptotique à l'infini. / This thesis is devoted to the study of a family of geometric flows associated with the prescribed scalar curvature problem. More precisely, if we denote by (M,g0) a compact riemannian manifold with dimension n≥3, and if F∈C∞ (M) is a given function, the prescribed scalar curvature problem consists of finding a conformal metric g to g0 such that F is its scalar curvature. This problem is equivalent to the resolution of the following PDE : -4 (n-1)/(n-2) ∆u+R0 u=Fu((n+2)/(n-2 )) , u>0 , (E), Where R0 is the scalar curvature of the initial metric g0 and ∆ is the laplacian associated with g0.It is a nonlinear elliptic equation, whose the main difficulty comes from the term u((n+2)/(n-2 )). Apart from the case of the standard sphere Sn all the works that study the equation (E) are based on the variational method. In this thesis, we develop another approach based on the study of a family of geometric flows which allows to solve equation (E).The flows introduced are gradient flows associated with two distinct functional functions depending on the sign of R0.The first part of this thesis is devoted to the case R0<0 and in the second part we treat the case R0>0. In both cases, our aim is to proof the global existence of the flow and study its asymptotic behavior at infinity.
