On DeTurck uniqueness theorems for Ricci tensor

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In Riemannian geometry the prescribed Ricci curvature problem is as follows: given a smooth manifold M and a symmetric 2-tensor r, construct a metric on M whose Ricci tensor equals r. In particular, DeTurck and Koiso proved the following celebrated result: the Ricci curvature uniquely determines the Levi-Civita connection on any compact Einstein manifold with non-negative section curvature. In the present paper we generalize the result of DeTurck and Koiso for a Riemannian manifold with non-negative section curvature. In addition, we extended our result to complete non-compact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature and with finite total scalar curvature.
