Stability of ALE Ricci-Flat Manifolds Under Ricci Flow [PDF]
AbstractWe prove that if an ALE Ricci-flat manifold (M, g) is linearly stable and integrable, it is dynamically stable under Ricci flow, i.e. any Ricci flow starting close togexists for all time and converges modulo diffeomorphism to an ALE Ricci-flat metric close tog. By adapting Tian’s approach in the closed case, we show that integrability holds for

Static Ricci-flat 5-manifolds admitting the 2-sphere [PDF]
We examine, in a purely geometrical way, static Ricci-flat 5-manifolds admitting the 2-sphere and an additional hypersurface-orthogonal Killing vector. These are widely studied in the literature, from different physical approaches, and known variously as the Kramer - Gross - Perry - Davidson - Owen solutions.

DEGENERATIONS OF RICCI-FLAT CALABI–YAU MANIFOLDS [PDF]
This paper is a sequel to [Continuity of extremal transitions and flops for Calabi–Yau manifolds, J. Differential Geom.89 (2011) 233–270]. We further investigate the Gromov–Hausdorff convergence of Ricci-flat Kähler metrics under degenerations of Calabi–Yau manifolds. We extend Theorem 1.1 in [Continuity of extremal transitions and flops for Calabi–Yau

Asymptotically cylindrical Ricci-flat manifolds [PDF]
Asymptotically cylindrical Ricci-flat manifolds play a key role in constructing Topological Quantum Field Theories. It is particularly important to understand their behavior at the cylindrical ends and the natural restrictions on the geometry. In this paper we show that an orientable, connected, asymptotically cylindrical manifold(M,g)(M,g)with Ricci ...

Canonical Identification at Infinity for Ricci-Flat Manifolds [PDF]
We give a natural way to identify between two scales, potentially arbitrarily far apart, in a non-compact Ricci-flat manifold with Euclidean volume growth when a tangent cone at infinity has smooth cross section. The identification map is given as the gradient flow of a solution to an elliptic equation.

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

On noncollapsed almost Ricci-flat 4-manifolds [PDF]
We give topological conditions to ensure that a noncollapsed almost Ricci-flat 4-manifold admits a Ricci-flat metric. One sufficient condition is that the manifold is spin and has a nonzero A-hat genus. Another condition is that the fundamental group is infinite or, more generally, of sufficiently large cardinality.

Infinite families of homogeneous Bismut Ricci flat manifolds
Starting from compact symmetric spaces of inner type, we provide infinite families of compact homogeneous spaces carrying invariant non-flat Bismut connections with vanishing Ricci tensor. These examples turn out to be generalized symmetric spaces of order [Formula: see text] and (up to coverings) they can be realized as minimal submanifolds of the ...
