Riemannian Geometry is a subfield of Differential Geometry, which specifically studies "Riemannian Manifolds", manifolds with "Riemannian Metrics", which means that they are equipped with continuous inner products.

What are some explicit examples of nontrivial gradient almost Ricci solitons with harmonic c...

A Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ is said to be an almost Ricci soliton if there exists a complete vector field $X \in \Gamma(TM)$ and a smooth function $\lambda: M \to \mathbb{R}$ such that $$\operatorn …

Does any warped product metric admit a function with hessian proportional to the metric?

It is known that the existence of a function with hessian proportional to the metric implies that the metric is a warped product metric. Is the reciprocal true as well? I.e, if $(B \times N, g = g_B + …

Does any warped product metric with harmonic Weyl curvature admit a structure of zero radial...

A Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ has harmonic Weyl curvature iff its Schouten tensor is Codazzi, and if there exists $f: M \to \mathbb{R}$ such that $W(\bullet, \bullet, \bullet, \nabla f) = 0$, one say …

I'm trying to prove the following identities (under the normalized Ricci flow on surfaces, on which $\partial_t g = (r-R)g$ holds true, where $r$ denotes the average scalar curvature and has the same …

What exactly does it mean for Hamilton's cigar soliton to have linear volume growth?

In a couple articles I've read lately, I've seen it mentioned that the cigar soliton has linear volume growth. What does this mean? I thought maybe, if you compute the volume of geodesic balls and inc …

Why is this subset associated to a $2$-tensor dense?

Let $S$ be a symmetric $(0, 2)$ tensor on a Riemannian manifold $M$. Define $E_S : M \to \mathbb{Z}$ by $E_S(x) = \left(\text{the number of distinct eigenvalues of } S_x\right)$. I've seen the followi …

What is known about warped product metrics satisfying conditions more general than conformal...

In this paper, the authors characterize warped product metrics which are conformally flat (the fibers must have constant sectional curvature, on some cases there is a limitation on the number of possi …

Estimating scalar curvature by norm of Riemannian curvature tensor under the Ricci flow

In B. Chow and D. Knopf's book "The Ricci Flow: An Introduction", the authors claim that for any dimension $n$ and any Riemannian manifold $M^n$, there is a constant $C_n$ depending only on $n$ such t …

In dimension $4$, it is known that the curvature operator $\operatorname{Rm} : \Lambda^2(M) \to \Lambda^2(M)$ admits a block decomposition of the form $$\operatorname{Rm} = \begin{pmatrix} A & B \\ B^ …

After a lot more time thinking about it, I think I've figured it out. Let $\Gamma$ be a constant such that $ \Gamma \|g \odot g \| = 1$ (where $\odot$ denotes the Kulkarni Nomizu product, and the only …

Are there examples of Einstein manifolds with unbounded curvature?

Are there any known examples of Einstein manifolds $(M, g)$ such that $$\sup_{x \in M} \|\text{Rm}(x) \| = \infty$$ I'm looking for these examples because they might provide a counter-example to a pro …

Classifying singularities of the Ricci flow

Context: A solution $(M^n, g(t))$ of the Ricci flow is said to encounter a Type III Singularity if $g(t)$ is defined for all $t \geq 0$ and: $$ \sup _{\mathcal{M}^{n} \times[0, \infty)} \|\operatorna …

Geometric intuition behind definition of $\delta$-necklike points of the Ricci flow

In "The Ricci Flow: An Introduction", the authors define a $\delta$-necklike point of the Ricci flow as a point $(x, t)$ where $$\|\text{Rm} - R (\theta \otimes \theta)\| \leq \delta \|\text{Rm}\|$$ f …
