Data integration is the process of collecting data from different data sources and providing user with unified view of answers that meet his requirements. The quality of query answers can be improved by identifying the quality of data sources according to some quality measures and retrieving data from only significant...
The recent breakthroughs in large language models (LLMs) are positioned to transition many areas of software. Database technologies particularly have an important entanglement with LLMs as efficient and intuitive database interactions are paramount.
A new functional for simplicial surfaces is suggested. It is invariant with respect to Moebius transformations and is a discrete analogue of the Willmore functional.
We describe the structure of $d$-dimensional homogeneous Lorentzian $G$-manifolds $M=G/H$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$. Due to a result by N. Kowalsky, it is sufficient to consider the case when the group $G$ acts properly, that is the stabilizer $H$ is compact.
Kock [Bull. Austral. Math. Soc., 25 (1982), 357-386] has considered differential forms with values in a group in a context where neighborhood relations are available. By doing so, he has made it clear where the so-called Maurer-Cartan formula should come from.
Many extensions of General Relativity are based on considering metric and affine structures as independent properties of spacetime. This leads to the possibility of introducing torsion as an independent degree of freedom.
We study holomorphic locally homogeneous geometric structures modelled on line bundles over the projective line. We classify these structures on primary Hopf surfaces.
In this paper, we generalize the anomaly cancellation formulas in \cite{AW, Liu1, HZ2} to the cases that an auxiliary bundle $W$ as well as a complex line bundle $\xi$ are involved with no conditions on the first Pontryagin forms being assumed.
This dissertation is concerned with the geometric study of differential spinors on oriented and spin Lorentzian four-manifolds via the theory of spinorial polyforms. The main results and applications are directed towards the investigation of torsion parallel spinors and the globally hyperbolic evolution flow determine...
This expository paper is a tribute to Ekkehart Kröner's results on the intrinsic non-Riemannian geometrical nature of a single crystal filled with point and/or line defects. A new perspective on this old theory is proposed, intended to contribute to the debate around the still open Kröner's question: "what...
The universal Liouville action (also known as the Loewner energy for Jordan curves) is a Kähler potential on the Weil-Petersson universal Teichmüller space, which is identified with the family of Weil-Petersson quasicircles via conformal welding. Our main result shows that, under regularity assumptions, the universal ...
We study metrics on conic 2-spheres when no Einstein metrics exist. In particular, when the curvature of a conic metric is positive, we obtain the best curvature pinching constant.
We provide a new angle and obtain new results on a class of metrics on length-normalized curves in $d$ dimensions, represented by their unit tangents expressed as a function of arc-length, which are functions from the unit interval to the $(d-1)$-dimensional unit sphere. These metrics are derived from the combined act...
In this paper, motivated by the singularity formation of ASD connections in gauge theory, we study an algebraic analogue of the singularity formation of families of rank two holomorphic vector bundles over surfaces. For this, we define a notion of fertile families bearing bubbles and give a characterization of it usin...
Homotopy connectedness theorems for complex submanifolds of homogeneous spaces (sometimes referred to as theorems of Barth-Lefshetz type) have been established by a number of authors. Morse Theory on the space of paths lead to an elegant proof of homotopy connectedness theorems for complex submanifolds of Hermitian sy...
We establish the regularity theory for certain critical elliptic systems with an anti-symmetric structure under inhomogeneous Neumann and Dirichlet boundary constraints. As applications, we prove full regularity and smooth estimates at the free boundary for weakly Dirac-harmonic maps from spin Riemann surfaces.
In this paper we develope a theory of reduction for classical systems with Poisson Lie groups symmetries using the notion of momentum map introduced by Lu. The local description of Poisson manifolds and Poisson Lie groups and the properties of Lu's momentum map allow us to define a Poisson reduced space.
We study in this work the existence of minimizing solutions to the critical-power type equation $\triangle_{\textbf{g}}u+h.u = f.u^{\frac{n+2}{n-2}}$ on a compact riemannian manifold in the limit case normally not solved by variational methods. For this purpose, we use a concept of "critical function" that was...
We prove a sharp logarithmic Sobolev inequality which holds for submanifolds in Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension and codimension. Like the Michael-Simon Sobolev inequality, this inequality includes a term involving the mean curvature.
We provide optimal pinching results on closed Einstein manifolds with positive Yamabe invariant in any dimension, extending the optimal bound for the scalar curvature due to Gursky and LeBrun in dimension four. We also improve the known bounds of the Yamabe invariant \emph{via} the $L^{\frac{n}{2}}$-norm of the Weyl t...
In \cite{KOT:MORITA}, Kotschick and Morita showed that the Gel'fand-Kalinin-Fuks class in $\ds \HGF{7}{2}{}{8}$ is decomposed as a product $\eta\wedge \omega $ of some leaf cohomology class $\eta$ and a transverse symplectic class $\omega$. In other words, the Kontsevich homomorphism $\ds\omega\wedge :\HGF{5}{2}{0...
Conformal invariance of two-dimensional variational problems is a condition known to enable a blow-up analysis of solutions and to deduce the removability of singularities. In this paper, we identify another condition that is not only sufficient, but also necessary for such a removability of singularities.
In this paper, using the technical tools in \cite{TW5}, we solve the complex Hessian equation on closed Hermitian manifolds, which generalizes the the Kähler case results in \cite{HMW} and \cite{DK}.
In this work, ruled surfaces in 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds are studied. We determine the expression for the extrinsic and sectional curvature of a parametrized ruled surface, where the former one is shown to be non-positive.
Teissier problem aims to characterize the equality case of Khovanskii-Teissier type inequality for $(1,1)$-classes on a compact Kähler manifold. When each of the involved $(1,1)$-classes is assumed to be nef and big, this problem has been solved by the previous works of Boucksom-Favre-Jonsson, Fu-Xiao and Li.
We find formal and holomorphic normal forms for a class of meromorphic connections (the so-called $(TE)$-structures) over the irreducible $2$-dimensional globally nilpotent $F$-manifold germ $\mathcal N_{2}$. We find normal forms for Euler fields on $\mathcal N_{2}$ and we characterize the Euler fields on $\mathcal N_...
The harmonic map energy of a map from a closed, constant-curvature surface to a closed target manifold can be seen as a functional on the space of maps and domain metrics. We consider the gradient flow for this energy.
In this paper, we give a lower bound for the spectrum of the Laplacian on minimal hypersurfaces immersed into $H^m \times R$. As an application, in dimension 2, we prove that a complete minimal surface with finite total extrinsic curvature has finite index.
Finding appropriate notions of discrete holomorphic maps and, more generally, conformal immersions of discrete Riemann surfaces into 3-space is an important problem of discrete differential geometry and computer visualization. We propose an approach to discrete conformality that is based on the concept of holomorphic ...
Suppose $v(x,y):\mathbb C\rightarrow \mathbb R$ is an entire harmonic polynomial with no critical points in the right half plane. Let $z_1, z_2\in\mathbb C$ lie on a level set of $v$ , and assume ${\rm Re}(z_2)>{\rm Re}(z_1)\geq0$.
What are appropriate geometric conditions ensuring that a complete Riemannian 2-cylinder without conjugate points is flat? Examples with nonpositive curvature show that one has to assume that the ends of the cylinder open sublinearly.
In this paper, we study the evolving behaviors of the first eigenvalue of Laplace-Beltrami operator under the normalized Ricci flow of model geometries. In every Bianchi class, we estimate the derivative of the eigenvalue.
We introduce two definitions with the purpose of quantifying the concept of a $C^{2,\alpha}$ surface for $0 < \alpha < 1$. The intrinsic definition is given in terms of the $\alpha$-Hölder norm of the Gauss curvature function.
We give a superconnection proof of Connes' index theorem for proper cocompact actions of etale groupoids. This includes Connes' general foliation index theorem for foliations with Hausdorff holonomy groupoid.
In this paper we use stable capillary surfaces (analogous to the $\mu$-bubble construction) to study manifolds with strictly mean convex boundary and nonnegative scalar curvature. We give an obstruction to filling 2-manifolds by such 3-manifolds based on the Urysohn width.
A quantization over a manifold can be seen as a way to construct a differential operator with prescribed principal symbol. The quantization map is moreover required to be a linear bijection.
The Korányi ellipsoidal ring $\mathcal{E}$ of radii $B$ and $A$, $0<B<A$, is defined as the image of the Korányi spherical ring of the same radii and centred at the origin via a linear contact map $L$ in the Heisenberg group. If $K\ge 1$ is the maximal distortion of $L$ then we prove that the modulus of $\mathca...
A Kaehler-Nijenhuis manifold is a Kaehler manifold M, with metric g, complex structure J and Kaehler form F, endowed with a Nijenhuis tensor field A that is compatible with the Poisson stucture defined by F in the sense of the theory of Poisson-Nijenhuis structures. If this happens, and if either AJ=JA or AJ=-JA, M is...
In this paper, we consider a family of closed hypersurfaces which shrink self-similarly with speed of quotient curvatures. We show that the only such hypersurfaces are shrinking spheres.
In this work we establish new equivalences for the concept of $p$-parabolic Riemannian manifolds. We define a concept of comparison principle for elliptic PDE's on exterior domains of a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ and prove that $M$ is $p$-parabolic if and only if this comparison principle holds for the $p$-L...
Riemannian manifolds of quasi-constant sectional curvatures (QC-manifolds) are divided into two basic classes: with positive or negative horizontal sectional curvatures. We prove that the Riemannian QC-manifolds with positive horizontal sectional curvatures are locally equivalent to canal hypersurfaces in Euclidean sp...
An old conjecture in non-Kähler geometry states that, if a compact Hermitian manifold has constant holomorphic sectional curvature, then the metric must be Kähler (when the constant is non-zero) or Chern flat (when the constant is zero). It is known to be true in complex dimension $2$ by the work of Balas and Gauducho...
Distance functions of metric spaces with lower curvature bound, by definition, enjoy various metric inequalities; triangle comparison, quadruple comparison and the inequality of Lang-Schroeder-Sturm. The purpose of this paper is to study the extremal cases of these inequalities and to prove rigidity results.
The theory of differential characters is developed completely from a de Rham - Federer viewpoint. Characters are defined as equivalence classes of special currents, called sparks, which appear naturally in the theory of singular connections.
We describe the structure of the Lie groups endowed with a left-invariant symplectic form, called symplectic Lie groups, in terms of semi-direct products of Lie groups, symplectic reduction and principal bundles with affine fiber. This description is particularly nice if the group is Hamiltonian, that is, if the left ...
Schoen-Webster theorem asserts a pseudoconvex CR manifold whose automorphism group acts non properly is either the standard sphere or the Heisenberg space. The purpose of this paper is to survey successive works around this result and then provide a short geometric proof in the compact case.
In this short survey paper, we first recall the log gradient estimates for the heat equation on manifolds by Li-Yau, R. Hamilton and later by Perelman in conjunction with the Ricci flow. Then we will discuss some of their applications and extensions focusing on sharp constants and improved curvature conditions.
Given k>=2, we construct a (2k-2)-parameter family of properly embedded minimal surfaces in H^2 x R invariant by a vertical translation T, called Saddle Towers, which have total intrinsic curvature 4 pi(1-k), genus zero and 2k vertical Scherk-type ends in the quotient by T. As limits of those Saddle Towers, we obtai...
We consider the inverse mean curvature flow by parallel hypersurfaces in space forms. We show that such a flow exists if and only if the initial hypersurface is isoparametric.
In this paper we consider non-compact non-flat simply connected harmonic manifolds. In particular, we show that the Martin boundary and Busemann boundary coincide for such manifolds.
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact immersed surface with constant weighted mean curvature $H_f$ in a weighted manifold $(M^3,g,f)$. In this paper we obtain upper bounds for the first eigenvalue of the weighted Jacobi operator on $\Sigma$ in terms of $H_f$ and the curvature of the ambient.
We analyze an energy functional associated to Conformal Ricci Flow along closed manifolds with constant negative scalar curvature. Given initial conditions we use this functional to demonstrate the uniqueness of both the metric and the pressure function along Conformal Ricci Flow.
There is considered a connection with skew symmetric torsion on a quasi-Kähler manifold with Norden metric. Some necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for the corresponding curvature tensor to be Kählerian.
The real symplectic Stiefel manifold is the manifold of symplectic bases of symplectic subspaces of a fixed dimension. It features in a large variety of applications in physics and engineering.
In this paper, we prove that a compact Kähler manifold $X$ with semi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature admits a locally trivial fibration $\phi \colon X \to Y$, where the fiber $F$ is a rationally connected projective manifold and the base $Y$ is a finite étale quotient of a torus. This result extends the struc...
We study isometric Lie group actions on the compact exceptional groups E6, E7, E8, F4 and G2 endowed with a biinvariant metric. We classify polar actions on these groups.
In this paper, we explore the positive solutions to the Finslerian nonlinear equation $$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = \Delta^{\nabla u} u + au\log u + bu,$$ which is related to Ricci solitons and serves as the Euler-Lagrange equation to the Finslerian log-energy functional. We then obtain the global gradient estimat...
We develop the deformations theory of a Dirac--Jacobi structure within a fixed Courant--Jacobi algebroid. Using the description of split Courant--Jacobi algebroids as degree $2$ contact $\mathbb{N} Q$ manifolds and Voronov's higher derived brackets, each Dirac--Jacobi structure is associated with a cubic $L_\infty...
We construct stable minimal hypersurfaces with simple topology in certain compact $4$-manifolds $X$ with boundary, where $X$ embeds into a smooth manifold homeomorphic to $S^4$. For example, if $X$ is equipped with a Riemannian metric $g$ with positive scalar curvature, we prove the existence of a stable minimal hyper...
For Cartan geometries admitting automorphisms with isotropies satisfying a particular, loosely dynamical property on their model geometries, we demonstrate the existence of an open subset of the geometry with trivial holonomy. This property, which generalizes characteristics of isotropies corresponding to isolated hig...
We consider open globally hyperbolic spacetimes $N$ of dimension $n+1$, $n\ge 3$, which are spatially asymptotic to a Robertson-Walker spacetime or an open Friedmann universe with spatial curvature $\tilde\kappa = 0,-1$ and prove, under reasonable assumptions, that there exists a unique foliation by hypersurfaces of co...
We use the Björling problem in Lorentz-Minkowski space to obtain explicit parametrizations of maximal surfaces containing a circle and a helix. We investigate the Weierstrass representation of these surfaces.
We study existence and nonexistence of diagonal and separating coordinates for Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank 1. We generalize the results of Gauduchon and Moroianu, 2020, by showing that a symmetric space of rank 1 has diagonal coordinates if and only if it has constant sectional curvature.
We establish analytic linearization of s-proper analytic groupoids around invariant submanifolds. We apply this result to show that any such groupoid admits a holomorphic extension.
We study the evolution of a Jordan curve on the plane by curvature flow, also known as curve shortening flow, and by level-set flow, which is a weak formulation of curvature flow. We show that the evolution of the curve depends continuously on the initial curve in Fréchet distance.
The first variant of this article contained a fatal error. Therefore, we publish second version our paper.
We present a conformal deformation involving a fully nonlinear equation in dimension 4, starting with positive scalar curvature. Assuming a certain conformal invariant is positive, one may deform from positive scalar curvature to a stronger condition involving the Ricci tensor.
We characterize HKT structure in terms of nondegenrate complex Poisson bivector on hypercomplex manifold. We extend the characterization to the twistor space.
In this paper, a new higher Hochschild Complex is defined with an Iterated Integral map to locally model differential forms on the space of bigons on $M$. In particular, given the local data for a gerbe with structure 2-group given by a crossed module of matrix-groups, there is an element in our curved zigzag Hochschi...
Many physical systems are described by partial differential equations (PDEs). Determinism then requires the Cauchy problem to be well-posed.
We study graphical mean curvature flow of complete solutions defined on subsets of Euclidean space. We obtain smooth long time existence.
In this paper, we continue to study some applications with respect to a Reilly type integral formula associated with the $\phi$-Laplacian. Some inequalities of Brascamp-Lieb type and Colesanti type are provided.
We provide new examples of manifolds which admit a Riemannian metric with sectional curvature nonnegative, and strictly positive at one point. Our examples include the unit tangent bundles of $CP^n$, $HP^n$ and $CaP^2$, and a family of lens space bundles over $CP^n$.
In this article, we introduce Clairaut anti-invariant Riemannian maps from Riemannian manifolds to trans-Sasakian manifolds. We derive necessary and sufficient condition for an anti-invariant map to be Clairaut when base manifold is trans-Sasakian manifold.
In this paper, we consider minimal hypersurfaces in the product space $\mathbb{H}^n \times \mathbb{R}$. We begin by studying examples of rotation hypersurfaces and hypersurfaces invariant under hyperbolic translations.
Motivated by Guo-Luo's generalized circle packings on surfaces with boundary \cite{GL2}, we introduce the generalized sphere packings on 3-dimensional manifolds with boundary. Then we investigate the rigidity of the generalized sphere packing metrics.
We present some new Stokes' type theorems on complete non-compact manifolds that extend, in different directions, previous work by Gaffney and Karp and also the so called Kelvin-Nevanlinna-Royden criterion for (p-)parabolicity. Applications to comparison and uniqueness results involving the p-Laplacian are deduced...
We prove that the conjectured capillary Blaschke-Santaló inequality holds for any unconditional, strictly convex capillary hypersurface when $\theta \in \left(0, \tfrac{\pi}{2}\right)$. Moreover, for $\theta \in \left(\tfrac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$, we show that the capillary volume product has no finite upper bound.
As we all know, the Minkowski type problem is the cornerstone of the Brunn-Minkowski theory in Euclidean space. The Heisenberg group as a sub-Riemannian space is the simplest non-Abelian degenerate Riemannian space that is completely different from a Euclidean space.
For certain real hypersurfaces in the projective space, of signature (1,n), we study the filling problem for small deformations of the CR structure (the other signatures being well understood). We characterize the deformations which are fillable, and prove that they have infinite codimension in the set of all CR struc...
Given two hyperkähler manifolds $M$ and $N$ and a quaternionic instanton on their product, a hyperkähler Nahm transform can be defined, which maps quaternionic instantons on $M$ to quaternionic instantons on $N$. This construction includes the case of Nahm transform for periodic instantons on $\bR^4$, the Fourier-Muka...
We introduce statistical, conjugate connection and Hessian structures on anti-commutable pre-Leibniz algebroids. Anti-commutable pre-Leibniz algebroids are special cases of local pre-Leibniz algebroids, which are still general enough to include many physically motivated algebroids such as Lie, Courant, metric and high...
In this article, we study the small sphere limit of the Wang-Yau quasi-local energy defined in [18,19]. Given a point $p$ in a spacetime $N$, we consider a canonical family of surfaces approaching $p$ along its future null cone and evaluate the limit of the Wang-Yau quasi-local energy.
The tangent bundle of an almost Norden manifold and the complete lift of the Norden metric is considered as a 4n-manifold. It is equipped with an almost hypercomplex Hermitian-Norden structure.
The purpose of this paper is to derive volume and other geometric information for three-dimensional complete manifolds with positive scalar curvature. In the case that the Ricci curvature is nonnegative, it is shown that the volume of the manifold must be of linear growth when the scalar curvature is bounded from belo...
The Klein-Grifone approach to global Finsler geometry is adopted. A global existence and uniqueness theorem for Chern connection is formulated and proved.
Poincar{é} and Sobolev inequalities for differential forms on Heisenberg balls, involving Rumin's differentials, are given. Furthermore, a global homotopy of Rumin's complex which improves differentiability of Rumin forms is provided on any bounded geometry contact manifold.
In this paper, we examine the homotopy classes of positive loops in Sp(2) and Sp(4). We show that two positive loops are homotopic if and only if they are homotopic through positive loops.
For a Kähler manifold endowed with a weighted measure $e^{-f}\,dv,$ the associated weighted Hodge Laplacian $\Delta _{f}$ maps the space of $(p,q)$-forms to itself if and only if the $(1,0)$-part of the gradient vector field $\nabla f$ is holomorphic. We use this fact to prove that for such $f$, a finite energy $f$ ha...
We prove that the stability condition for Fano manifolds defined by Saito-Takahashi, given in terms of the sum of the Ding invariant and the Chow weight, is equivalent to the existence of anticanonically balanced metrics. Combined with the result by Rubinstein-Tian-Zhang, we obtain the following algebro-geometric coro...
We adapt the framework of geometric quantization to the polysymplectic setting. Considering prequantization as the extension of symmetries from an underlying polysymplectic manifold to the space of sections of a Hermitian vector bundle, a natural definition of prequantum vector bundle is obtained which incorporates in...
Witten and Yau (<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9910245" data-arxiv-id="hep-th/9910245" class="link-https">hep-th/9910245</a>) have recently considered a generalisation of the AdS/CFT correspondence, and have shown that the relevant manifolds have certain physically desirable properties when the scalar curvature ...
We show the existence and orthogonality of wave operators naturally associated to a compatible Laplacian on a complete manifold with a corner of codimension 2. In fact, we prove asymptotic completeness i.e. that the image of these wave operators is equal to the space of absolutely continuous states of the compatible L...
We characterize all LVMB manifolds X such that the holomorphic tangent bundle TX is spanned at the generic point by a family of global holomorphic vector fields, each of them having non-empty zero locus. We deduce that holomorphic connections on semi-stable holomorphic vector bundles over LVMB manifolds with this prev...
We consider the timelike minimal surface problem in Minkowski spacetimes and show local and global existence of such surfaces having arbitrary dimension $\geq 2$ and arbitrary co-dimension, provided they are initially close to a flat plane.
We study the integrability of Poisson and Dirac structures that arise from quotient constructions. From our results we deduce several classical results as well as new applications.
We construct new smooth solutions to the Hull-Strominger system, showing that the Fu-Yau solution on torus bundles over K3 surfaces can be generalized to torus bundles over K3 orbifolds. In particular, we prove that, for $13 \leq k \leq 22$ and $14\leq r\leq 22$, the smooth manifolds $S^1\times \sharp_k(S^2\times S^3)...
Let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle. Let $\theta$ be a Higgs field, that is a holomorphic section of $End(E)\otimes\Omega^{1,0}_X$ satisfying $\theta^2=0$.
On a closed connected oriented manifold $M$ we study the space $\mathcal{M}_\\|(M)$ of all Riemannian metrics which admit a non-zero parallel spinor on the universal covering. Such metrics are Ricci-flat, and all known Ricci-flat metrics are of this form.
In this paper we investigate the relationship between isotopy classes of knots and links in S^3 and the diffeomorphism types of homeomorphic smooth 4-manifolds. As a corollary of this initial investigation, we begin to uncover the surprisingly rich structure of diffeomorphism types of manifolds homeomorphic to the K3 ...
