An optimal gap theorem

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: By solving the Cauchy problem for the Hodge-Laplace heat equation for d-closed, positive (1,1)-forms, we prove an optimal gap theorem for K"ahler manifolds with nonnegative bisectional curvature which asserts that the manifold is flat if the average of the scalar curvature over balls of radius r centered at any fixed point o is a function of o(r2). Furthermore via a relative monotonicity estimate we obtain a stronger statement, namely a `positive mass' type result, asserting that if (M,g) is not flat, then liminfroinftyfracr2Vo(r)intBo(r)mathcalS(y),dmu(y)>0 for any oinM.
