On a compact n-dimensional manifold $M^n$, a critical point of the total scalar curvature functional, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature of volume 1, satifies the critical point equation (CPE), given by $Z_g\;=\;s_g^{1\ast}(f)$. It has been conjectured that a solution (g, f) of CPE is Einstein. The purpose of the present paper is to prove that every compact stable minimal hypersurface is in a certain hypersurface of $M^n$ under an assumption that Ker($s_g^{1\ast}{\neq}0$).

We view Weyl structures as generalizations of Riemannian metrics and study the critical points of geometric functional which involve scalar curvature, defined on the space of Weyl structures on a closed 4-manifold. The main goal here is to provide a framework to analyze critical Weyl structures by defining functionals, discussing function spaces and writing down basic formulas for the equations of critical points.

On a compact n-dimensional manifold M, it has been conjectured that a critical point metric of the total scalar curvature, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature of volume 1, should be Einstein. The purpose of the present paper is to prove that a 3-dimensional manifold (M,g) is isometric to a standard sphere if ker $s^*_g{{\neq}}0$ and there is a lower Ricci curvature bound. We also study the structure of a compact oriented stable minimal surface in M.

The class of isotropic almost complex structures, J_𝛿,𝜎, define a class of Riemannian metrics, g_𝛿,𝜎, on the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold which are a generalization of the Sasaki metric. This paper characterizes the metrics g_𝛿,0 using the geometry of tangent bundle. As a by-product, some integrability results will be reported for J_𝛿,𝜎.

In this paper, we study general (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$) Finsler metrics and prove that every general (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-metric is semi C-reducible but not C2-like. As a consequence of this result we prove that every general (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-metric satisfying the Ricci flow equation is Einstein.

In this paper, we study algebraic Ricci solitons in the Finslerian case. We show that any simply connected Finslerian algebraic Ricci soliton is a Finslerian Ricci soliton. Furthermore, we study Randers algebraic Ricci solitons. It turns out that a shrinking, steady, or expanding Randers algebraic Ricci soliton with vanishing S-curvature is Einstein, locally Minkowskian, or Riemannian, respectively.

In this work, we introduce the complete Riemannian manifold $\mathbb{F}_3$ which is a three-dimensional real vector space endowed with a conformally flat metric that is a solution of the Einstein equation. We obtain a second order nonlinear ordinary differential equation that characterizes the helicoidal minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{F}_3$. We show that the helicoid is a complete minimal surface in $\mathbb{F}_3$. Moreover we obtain a local solution of this differential equation which is a two-parameter family of functions ${\lambda}_h,K_2$ explicitly given by an integral and defined on an open interval. Consequently, we show that the helicoidal motion applied on the curve defined from ${\lambda}_h,K_2$ gives a two-parameter family of helicoidal minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{F}_3$.

Gravitational-wave has been predicted by Einstein's general relativity in 1916, but its direct detection has failed to date despite of the persistent efforts in the last fifty years in the ground-based gravitational wave detectors. In the centennial year of the birth of general relativity, 'advanced LIGO', one of the most promising Earth-based gravitational wave detectors, plans to start commissioning for the successful discovery of gravitational waves. In addition, a pathfinder satellite of eLISA project, a space-based GW antenna by European Space Agency (ESA), will be launched in the mid of this year. In this talk, we review the current status of gravitational waves detection experiments and discuss its scientific impacts and the possibility of opening the new age of astronomy.

It is well known that critical points of the total scalar curvature functional S on the space of all smooth Riemannian structures of volume 1 on a compact manifold M are exactly the Einstein metrics. When the domain of S is restricted to the space of constant scalar curvature metrics, there has been a conjecture that a critical point is isometric to a standard sphere. In this paper we investigate the relationship between the first Betti number and stable minimal surfaces, and study the analytic properties of stable minimal surfaces in M for n = 3.

We report the discovery of a giant exoplanet in the microlensing event OGLE-2017-BLG-1049, with a planet-host star mass ratio of q = 9.53 ± 0.39 × 10-3 and a caustic crossing feature in Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) observations. The caustic crossing feature yields an angular Einstein radius of θE = 0.52 ± 0.11 mas. However, the microlens parallax is not measured because the time scale of the event, tE ≃ 29 days, is too short. Thus, we perform a Bayesian analysis to estimate physical quantities of the lens system. We find that the lens system has a star with mass Mh = 0.55+0.36-0.29 M⊙ hosting a giant planet with Mp = 5.53+3.62-2.87 MJup, at a distance of DL = 5.67+1.11-1.52 kpc. The projected star-planet separation is a⊥ = 3.92+1.10-1.32 au. This means that the planet is located beyond the snow line of the host. The relative lens-source proper motion is μrel ~ 7 mas yr-1, thus the lens and source will be separated from each other within 10 years. After this, it will be possible to measure the flux of the host star with 30 meter class telescopes and to determine its mass.
