Positive-Ricci-curvature conjecture for parabolic geometries
Positive-Ricci-curvature conjecture for parabolic geometries
Let be the split real form of a semisimple Lie group with parabolic subgroup , and let be a -geometry. Suppose that the Lie algebra has its parabolic filtration with , inducing a subbundle , where is the first filtered piece. Choose a principal maximal compact-subgroup reduction , and let it induce the canonical Riemannian metric on . Positive-Ricci completeness conjecture. If this Riemannian metric has positive Ricci curvature along , then the -geometry is complete. The claim proposes a geometric completeness criterion based on Ricci curvature in the distinguished filtered directions; the supplied text gives no resolution.
