    The isoperimetric inequality on asymptotically flat manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature

    Full text link
    In this note, we consider the isoperimetric inequality on an asymptotically flat manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature, and improve it by using Hawking mass. We also obtain a rigidity result when equality holds for the classical isoperimetric inequality on an asymptotically flat manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature.Comment: Final version, to appear International Mathematics Research Notices. 12 pages, no figure

    Rigidity of Asymptotically Hyperboblic Manifolds

    Full text link
    In this paper, we prove a rigidity theorem of asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds only under the assumptions on curvature. Its proof is based on analyzing asymptotic structures of such manifolds at infinity and a volume comparison theorem.Comment: 16 page

    Degenerations of Ricci-flat Calabi-Yau manifolds

    Full text link
    This paper is a sequel to arXiv:1012.2940. We further investigate the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of Ricci-flat K\"{a}hler metrics under degenerations of Calabi-Yau manifolds. We extend Theorem 1.1 in arXiv:1012.2940 by removing the condition on existence of crepant resolutions for Calabi-Yau varieties.Comment: An error is correcte
