Conformally Flat Spaces of Bounded Curvature

Abstract

dc:description

Here we show that if the logarithm of the conformal factor is subharmonic then the space has curvature bounded above by zero, and, subject to a growth constraint, if the logarithm of the conformal factor is subharmonic under all conformal transformations then the curvature is bounded below by zero. If the space has Lipschitz conformal factor and curvature bounded below by zero then the two dimensional subspaces have curvature bounded below by K, depending only on the Lipschitz constant and the size of the function.
