A Riemannian almost paracomplex manifold is a 2n-dimensional Riemannian manifold (M,g), whose structural group O(2n,R) is reduced to the form O(n,R)×O(n,R). We define the scalar curvature π of this manifold and consider relationships between π and the scalar curvature s of the metric g and its conformal transformations.

AbstractLet (M, g(t)) be a compact Riemannian manifold and the metric g(t) evolve by the Ricci flow. In the paper, we prove that the eigenvalues of geometric operator −Δφ + $\frac{R}{2}$ are non-decreasing under the Ricci flow for manifold M with some curvature conditions, where Δφ is the Witten Laplacian operator, φ ∈ C2(M), and R is the scalar curvature with respect to the metric g(t). We also derive the evolution of eigenvalues under the normalized Ricci flow. As a consequence, we show that compact steady Ricci breather with these curvature conditions must be trivial.

AbstractLet ℱ be a Kähler foliation on a compact Riemannian manifold M. If the transversal scalar curvature of ℱ is nonzero constant, then any transversal conformal field is a transversal Killing field; and if the transversal Ricci curvature is nonnegative and positive at some point, then there are no transversally holomorphic fields.

In [4] M. Prvanovic considered several curvaturelike tensors defined for Hermitian manifolds. Developing her ideas in [3], we defined in an almost contact Riemannian manifold another new curvaturelike tensor field, which is called a contact holomorphic Riemannian curvature tensor or briefly (CHR)3-curvature tensor. Then, we mainly researched (CHR)3-curvature tensor in a Sasakian manifold. Also we proved, that a conformally (CHR)3-flat Sasakian manifold does not exist. In the present paper, we consider this tensor field in a trans-Sasakian manifold. We calculate the (CHR)3-curvature tensor in a trans-Sasakian manifold. Also, the (CHR)3-Ricci tensor ρ3  and the (CHR)3-scalar curvature τ3  in a trans-Sasakian manifold have been obtained. Moreover, we define the notion of the (CHR)3-flatness in an almost contact Riemannian manifold. Then, we consider this notion in a trans-Sasakian manifold and determine the curvature tensor, the Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature. We proved that a (CHR)3-flat trans-Sasakian manifold is a generalized   ɳ-Einstein manifold. Finally, we obtain the expression of the curvature tensor with respect to the Riemannian metric g of a trans-Sasakian manifold, if the latter is (CHR)3-flat.

AbstractWe develop index theory on compact Riemannian spin manifolds with boundary in the case when the topological information is encoded by bundles which are supported away from the boundary. As a first application, we establish a “long neck principle” for a compact Riemannian spin n-manifold with boundary X, stating that if $${{\,\mathrm{scal}\,}}(X)\ge n(n-1)$$ scal ( X ) ≥ n ( n - 1 ) and there is a nonzero degree map into the sphere $$f:X\rightarrow S^n$$ f : X → S n which is strictly area decreasing, then the distance between the support of $$\text {d}f$$ d f and the boundary of X is at most $$\pi /n$$ π / n . This answers, in the spin setting and for strictly area decreasing maps, a question recently asked by Gromov. As a second application, we consider a Riemannian manifold X obtained by removing k pairwise disjoint embedded n-balls from a closed spin n-manifold Y. We show that if $${{\,\mathrm{scal}\,}}(X)>\sigma >0$$ scal ( X ) > σ > 0 and Y satisfies a certain condition expressed in terms of higher index theory, then the radius of a geodesic collar neighborhood of $$\partial X$$ ∂ X is at most $$\pi \sqrt{(n-1)/(n\sigma )}$$ π ( n - 1 ) / ( n σ ) . Finally, we consider the case of a Riemannian n-manifold V diffeomorphic to $$N\times [-1,1]$$ N × [ - 1 , 1 ] , with N a closed spin manifold with nonvanishing Rosenebrg index. In this case, we show that if $${{\,\mathrm{scal}\,}}(V)\ge \sigma >0$$ scal ( V ) ≥ σ > 0 , then the distance between the boundary components of V is at most $$2\pi \sqrt{(n-1)/(n\sigma )}$$ 2 π ( n - 1 ) / ( n σ ) . This last constant is sharp by an argument due to Gromov.
