Abstract. We study manifolds satisfying a weighted Poincaré inequality, which was first introduced by Li and Wang. We generalized their result by relaxing the Ricci curvature bound condition only being satisfied outside a compact set and established a finitely many ends result. We also proved a vanishing result for an L 2 harmonic 1-form provided that the weight function ρ is of sub-quadratic growth of the distance function, which generalized the Li-Wang result on manifolds with a positive spectrum.
Abstract. We consider noncompact complete manifolds with Spin(9) holonomy and proved an one end result and a splitting type theorem under different conditions on the bottom of the spectrum. We proved that any harmonic functions with finite Dirichlet integral must be Cayley-harmonic, which allowed us to conclude an one end result. In the second part, we established a splitting type theorem by utilizing the Busemann function.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
