Constructions of Helicoidal Surfaces in Euclidean Space with Density

This work considers the Euclidean 3-space R 3 with a positive density function e ϕ and construct all the helicoidal surfaces in the space by solving the second-order non-linear ordinary differential equation with the weighted Gaussian curvature and the mean curvature functions.

Helicoidal surfaces in Euclidean space with density

Our principal goal is to study the prescribed curvature problem in a manifold with density. In particular, we consider a Euclidean 3-space R with a positive density function e, where φ = −x−y, (x, y,…

Some curvature pinching results for Riemannian manifolds with density

In this note we consider versions of both Ricci and sectional curvature pinching for Riemannian manifold with density. In the Ricci curvature case the main result implies a diameter estimate that is…

The entropy formula for the Ricci flow and its geometric applications

We present a monotonic expression for the Ricci flow, valid in all dimensions and without curvature assumptions. It is interpreted as an entropy for a certain canonical ensemble. Several geometric…
