Teoremas de comparação em variedades Käler e aplicações

Abstract

In this work we present the proofs of the Laplacian comparison theorems for Kähler manifolds Mm of complex dimension m with holomorphic bisectional curvature bounded from below by −1, 1, and 0. The manifolds being compared are the complex hyperbolic space CHm, the complex projective space CPm, and the complex Euclidean space Cm, which holomorphic bisectional curvatures are −1, 1, and 0, respectively. Moreover, as applications of the Laplacian comparison theorems, we describe the proof of the Bishop- Gromov comparison theorem for Kähler manifolds and obtain an estimate for the first eigenvalue λ1(M) of the Laplacian operator, that is, λ1(M) ≤ m2 = λ1(CHm), and show that the volume of Kähler manifolds with holomorphic bisectional curvature bounded from below by 1 is bounded by the volume of CPm. The results cited above have been proved in 2005 by Li and Wang, in an article Comparison theorem for Kähler Manifolds and Positivity of Spectrum , published in the Journal of Differential Geometry.
