Incomplete Yamabe flows and removable singularities

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We study the Yamabe flow on a Riemannian manifold of dimension mgeq3 minus a closed submanifold of dimension n and prove that there exists an instantaneously complete solution if and only if n>fracm22. In the remaining cases 0leqnleqfracm22 including the borderline case, we show that the removability of the n-dimensional singularity is necessarily preserved along the Yamabe flow. In particular, the flow must remain geodesically incomplete as long as it exists. This is contrasted with the two-dimensional case, where instantaneously complete solutions always exist.
