Homogeneous Einstein Metrics

AbstractIn this paper, we study a class of homogeneous Finsler metrics of vanishing $S$-curvature on a $(4n+3)$-dimensional sphere. We find a second order ordinary differential equation that characterizes Einstein metrics with constant Ricci curvature $1$ in this class. Using this equation we show that there are infinitely many homogeneous Einstein metrics on $S^{4n+3}$ of constant Ricci curvature $1$ and vanishing $S$-curvature. They contain the canonical metric on $S^{4n+3}$ of constant sectional curvature $1$ and the Einstein metric of non-constant sectional curvature given by Jensen in 1973.

In this paper we consider the following problem: Given a smooth function K on the n-dimensional unit sphere Sn(n ≥ 3) with its canonical metric g0, is it possible to find a pointwise conformal metric which has K as its scalar curvature? This problem was presented by J. L. Kazdan and F. W. Warner. The associated problem for Gaussian curvature in dimension 2 had been presented by L. Nirenberg several years before.

Levi Civita Connection

We prove a Koszul formula for the Levi-Civita connection for any pseudo-Riemannian bilinear metric on a class of centered bimodule of noncommutative one-forms. As an application to the Koszul formula, we show that our Levi-Civita connection is a bimodule connection. We construct a spectral triple on a fuzzy sphere and compute the scalar curvature for the Levi-Civita connection associated to a canonical metric.

There were elaborated different models of Finsler geometry using the Cartan (metric compatible), or Berwald and Chern (metric non-compatible) connections, the Ricci flag curvature, etc. In a series of works, we studied (non)-commutative metric compatible Finsler and non-holonomic generalizations of the Ricci flow theory [see S. Vacaru, J. Math. Phys. 49 (2008) 043504; 50 (2009) 073503 and references therein]. The aim of this work is to prove that there are some models of Finsler gravity and geometric evolution theories with generalized Perelman's functionals, and correspondingly derived non-holonomic Hamilton evolution equations, when metric non-compatible Finsler connections are involved. Following such an approach, we have to consider distortion tensors, uniquely defined by the Finsler metric, from the Cartan and/or the canonical metric compatible connections. We conclude that, in general, it is not possible to elaborate self-consistent models of geometric evolution with arbitrary Finsler metric non-compatible connections.

Good Agreement

We explore the geodesic movement on an effective four-dimensional hypersurface that is embedded in a five-dimensional Ricci-flat manifold described by a canonical metric, to applying to planetary orbits in our solar system. Some important solutions are given, which provide the standard solutions of general relativity without any extra force component. We study the perihelion advances of Mercury, the Earth, and Pluto using the extended theory of general relativity. Our results are in very good agreement with observations and show how the foliation is determinant to the value of the perihelion’s advances. Possible applications are not limited to these kinds of orbits.

We prove that a Riemannian foliation with the flat normal connection on a Riemannian manifold is harmonic if and only if the geodesic flow on the normal bundle preserves the Riemannian volume form of the canonical metric defined by the adapted connection.

Singular Hypersurface

We discuss the question of whether the existence of singularities is an intrinsic property of 4D space–time. Our hypothesis is that singularities in 4D are induced by the separation of space–time from the other dimensions. We examine this hypothesis in the context of the so-called canonical or warp metrics in 5D. These metrics are popular because they provide a clean separation between the extra dimension and space–time. We show that the space–time section, in these metrics, inevitably becomes singular for some finite (nonzero) value of the extra coordinate. This is true for all canonical metrics that are solutions of the field equations in space–time-matter theory. This is a coordinate singularity in 5D, but appears as a physical one in 4D. At this singular hypersurface, the determinant of the space–time metric becomes zero and the curvature of the space–time blows up to infinity. These results are consistent with our hypothesis.
