한 줄 요약

이 논문은 $M^6 \times \mathbb{S}^1$ 위의 닫힌 G₂-구조에 대한 라플라시안 플로우를 연구한다. 여기서 $M^6$는 SU(3)-구조를 가진 컴act한 6차원 다양체이다. 플로우를 SU(3)-구조 형식과 워핑 함수에 대한 $M^6$ 상의 진화 방정식으로 재구성함으로써, 워핑 함수가 일정할 경우 장기 존재(영구적 해)를 위한 충분조건을 확립하며, 이는 새로운 종류의 팽창 라플라시안 솔리톤의 예를 이룩한다.

ABSTRACT

We study the behaviour of the Laplacian flow evolving closed G$_2$-structures on warped products of the form $M^6 imes{\mathbb S}^1$, where the base $M^6$ is a compact 6-manifold endowed with an SU(3)-structure. In the general case, we reinterpret the flow as a set of evolution equations on $M^6$ for the differential forms defining the SU(3)-structure and the warping function. When the latter is constant, we find sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions of the corresponding coupled flow. This provides a method to construct immortal solutions of the Laplacian flow on the product manifolds $M^6 imes{\mathbb S}^1$. The application of our results to explicit cases allows us to obtain new examples of expanding Laplacian solitons.

• Reformulate the Laplacian flow on $M^6 \times \mathbb{S}^1$ as a coupled system of evolution equations on $M^6$ for the differential forms defining the SU(3)-structure and the warping function.
• Utilize the geometry of warped products to decouple the flow into components governed by the SU(3)-structure on $M^6$ and the warping function.
