Computing Perelman's nu-functional
arXiv:0902.2805 · doi:10.1016/j.difgeo.2011.02.006
Abstract
This is a short note in which we show how to calculate the value of Perelman's nu-functional for a variety of metrics. In particular we complete the calculation of values for the known 4-dimensional Einstein and shrinking Ricci soliton metrics.
