Let $\mathbb{E}$ be a connected and orientable Riemannian 3-manifold with a non-singular Killing vector field whose associated one-parameter group of the isometries of $\mathbb{E}$ acts freely and properly on $\E$. Then, there exists a Killing Submersion from $\E$ onto a connected and orientable surface $M$ whose fibe... |
In this note we consider versions of both Ricci and sectional curvature pinching for Riemannian manifold with density. In the Ricci curvature case the main result implies a diameter estimate that is new even for compact shrinking Ricci solitons. |
We propose a natural generalization of a conjecture by Garsia, originally concerning the realization of conformal classes of genus-1 surfaces via embeddings in three-dimensional Euclidean space. This generalized conjecture is formulated within the framework of connections on principal bundles. |
This article defines a new family of curves in space, whose graphs generate shapes similar to whirls. An intrinsic equation is found, in terms of curvature and torsion, which gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of this family. |
Given a closed orientable negatively curved Riemannian surface $(M,g)$, we show how to construct a perturbation $(M,g^\prime)$ such that each closed geodesic becomes longer, and yet there is no diffeomorphism $f : (M,g^\prime) \rightarrow (M,g)$ which contracts every tangent vector. |
In this paper, we study area-minimizing hypersurfaces in manifolds of Ricci curvature bounded below with Cheeger-Colding theory. Let $N_i$ be a sequence of smooth manifolds with Ricci curvature $\geq-n\kappa^2$ on $B_{1+\kappa'}(p_i)$ for constants $\kappa\ge0$, $\kappa'>0$, and volume of $B_1(p_i)$ has a p... |
We prove that every slim double Lie groupoid with proper core action is completely determined by a factorization of a certain canonically defined "diagonal" Lie groupoid. |
We explore geometric aspects of bubble convergence for harmonic maps. More precisely, we show that the formation of bubbles is characterised by the local excess of curvature on the target manifold. |
In this article we propose a metric variation on the C^0-version of the Zimmer program for three manifolds. After a reexamination of the isometry groups of geometric three-manifolds, we consider homomorphisms defined on higher rank lattices to them and establish a dichotomy betweeen finite image or infinite volume of ... |
The paper studies the problem of prescribing positive cross curvature on the three-dimensional sphere. We produce several existence results and an example of non-uniqueness, disproving a conjecture of Hamilton's. |
In this paper, we study submanifolds with constant $r$th mean curvature $S_r$. We investigate, the stability of such submanifolds in the case when they are leaves of a codimension one foliation. |
We study the conditions under which a Kählerian structure $(G,J)$ of general natural lift type on the cotangent bundle $T^*M$ of a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ has constant holomorphic sectional curvature. We obtain that a certain parameter involved in the condition for $(T^*M,G,J)$ to be a Kählerian manifold, is expre... |
In this thesis, we present various contributions to the study of free boundary minimal surfaces. After introducing some basic tools and discussing some delicate aspects related to the definition of Morse index when allowing for a contact set, we divide the thesis in two parts. |
We study two quantization schemes for compact symplectic manifolds with almost complex structures. The first of these is the Spin-c quantization. |
Eigenvalue estimate for the Dirac-Witten operator is given on bounded domains (with smooth boundary) of spacelike hypersurfaces satisfying the dominant energy condition, under four natural boundary conditions (MIT, APS, modified APS, and chiral conditions). This result is a generalisation of Friedrich's inequality... |
In this article we present pictorially the foundation of differential geometry which is a crucial tool for multiple areas of physics, notably general and special relativity, but also mechanics, thermodynamics and solving differential equations. As all the concepts are presented as pictures, there are no equations in t... |
This paper aims to investigate the curvature restricted geometric properties admitted by Melvin magnetic spacetime metric, a warped product metric with $1$-dimensional fibre. For this, we have considered a Melvin type static, cylindrically symmetric spacetime metric in Weyl form and it is found that such metric, in ge... |
We translate a classification scheme for periodic CMC surfaces developed by J. Dorfmeister and the author to discrete CMC surfaces in the sense of A. Bobenko and U. Pinkall. The scheme uses the dressing action on discrete CMC surfaces to arrive at a classification for periodic discrete CMC surfaces. |
Germs of tubular neighborhood embeddings for submanifolds N of manifolds M are in one-one correspondence with germs of Euler-like vector fields near N. In many contexts, this reduces the proof of `normal forms results' for geometric structures to the construction of an Euler-like vector field compatible with the gi... |
This article mainly aims to overview the recent efforts on developing algebraic geometry for an arbitrary compact almost complex manifold. <br>We review the results obtained by the guiding philosophy that a statement for smooth maps between smooth manifolds in terms of René Thom's transversality should also have i... |
We consider the punctured plane with volume density $|x|^\alpha$ and perimeter density $|x|^\beta$. We show that centred balls are uniquely isoperimetric for indices $(\alpha,\beta)$ which satisfy the conditions $\alpha-\beta+1>0$, $\alpha\leq 2\beta$ and $\alpha(\beta+1)\leq\beta^2$ except in the case $\alpha=\bet... |
A second-order generalization of the fundamental Lepage form of geometric calculus of variations over fibered manifolds with 2-dimensional base is described by means of insisting on (i) equivalence relation "Lepage differential 2-form is closed if and only if the associated Lagrangian is trivial" and, |
We consider ribbon $R^4$'s, that is, smooth open 4-manifolds, homeomorphic to $R^4$ and associated to $h$-cobordisms between closed 4-manifolds. We show that any generalized ribbon $R^4$ associated to a sequence of $h$-cobordisms between non-diffeomorphic 4-manifolds is exotic. |
The following results are proved: Theorem 1. A totally real semiparallel submanifold of constant curvature with parallel f-structure in the normal bundle of a Kähler manifold N is flat or a totally geodesic submanifold of N. Theorem |
Consider a singular Riemannian foliation (s.r.f for short) on a compact manifold. By successive blow-ups along the strata, we construct a regular Riemannian foliation on another compact Riemannian manifold and a desingularization map that projects leaves of the regular Riemannian foliation into leaves of the s.r.f. Th... |
We study the types of non-integrable $\mathrm{G}$-structures on Riemannian manifolds. In particular, geometric types admitting a connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion are characterized. |
On any given compact (n+1)-manifold M with non-empty boundary, it is proved that the moduli space of Einstein metrics on M is a smooth, infinite dimensional Banach manifold under a mild condition on the fundamental group. Thus, the Einstein moduli space is unobstructed. |
We prove that a stable $C^{1,1}$-to-edge properly embedded free boundary minimal hypersurface $\Sigma^3$ of a $4$-dimensional wedge domain $\Omega^4_{\theta}$ with angle $\theta\in (0,\pi]$ is flat. |
We prove that every Weil-Petersson isometry of the Teichmuller space T(g,n) is induced by an element of the extended mapping class group; here 3g-3+n > 1 and (g,n) is not (1,2). Our method follows Ivanov's proof of the Royden's analogous theorem for the Teichmuller metric: we study the action of an isometry... |
We construct a form of the $D_4^+$-singularity of fronts in $R^3$ which uses coordinate transformation on the source and isometry on the target. As an application, we calculate differential geometric invariants near the $D_4^+$-singularity, and give a Gauss-Bonnet type theorem for fronts allowing to have this singular... |
Let $p:X\to Y$ be an holomorphic surjective map between compact Kähler manifolds and let $D$ be an effective divisor on $X$ with generically simple normal crossings support and coefficients in $(0,1)$. Provided that the adjoint canonical bundle $K_{X_y}+D_y$ of the generic fiber is ample, we show that the current obta... |
We exhibit the first examples of closed 4-manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature that lose this property when evolved via Ricci flow. |
We prove a modified version of Turbiner's conjecture in three dimensions and we give a counter-example to the original conjecture. The Lie algebraic Schrödinger operators corresponding to flat metrics of a certain restricted type are shown to separate partially in either Cartesian, cylindrical or spherical coordin... |
We provide the Bäcklund transforms of Peterson's isometric deformations of diagonal higher dimensional quadrics without center. These are found explicitly. |
Weingarten transformations which, by definition, preserve the asymptotic lines on smooth surfaces have been studied extensively in classical differential geometry and also play an important role in connection with the modern geometric theory of integrable systems. Their natural discrete analogues have been investigate... |
We introduce a natural extension of the concept of gradient Ricci soliton: the Ricci almost soliton. We provide existence and rigidity results, we deduce a-priori curvature estimates and isolation phenomena, and we investigate some topological properties. |
We show that every closed nonpositively curved surface satisfies Loewner's systolic inequality. The proof relies on a combination of the Gauss-Bonnet formula with an averaging argument using the invariance of the Liouville measure under the geodesic flow. |
We study the problem of finding the global Riemannian center of mass of a set of data points on a Riemannian manifold. Specifically, we investigate the convergence of constant step-size gradient descent algorithms for solving this problem. |
The aim of this paper is to extend classic results of the theory of CMC surfaces in the product spaces to the class of immersed surfaces in $\mathbb{M}^2(\kappa)\times\mathbb{R}$ whose mean curvature is given as a $C^1$ function depending on their angle function. We cover topics such as the existence of a priori curva... |
E. Cartan proved that conformally flat hypersurfaces in S^{n+1} for n>3 have at most two distinct principal curvatures and locally envelop a one-parameter family of (n-1)-spheres. We prove that the Gauss-Codazzi equation for conformally flat hypersurfaces in S^4 is a soliton equation, and use a dressing action from... |
In this paper, we first derive a pinching estimate on the traceless Ricci curvature in term of scalar curvature and Weyl tensor under the Ricci flow. Then we apply this estimate to study finite-time singularity behavior. |
A symmetric quadratic form $g$ on a surface~$M$ is said to be locally Hessianizable if each $p\in M$ has an open neighborhood~$U$ on which there exists a local coordinate chart $(x^1,x^2):U\to\mathbb{R}^2$ and a function $f:U\to\mathbb{R}$ such that, on $U$, we have $$ g = \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^i\partial x^j}\... |
If $\alpha\in\r$, an $\alpha$-stationary surface in Euclidean space is a surface $\Sigma$ whose mean curvature $H$ satisfies $H(p)=\alpha |p|^{-2} \langle\nu,p\rangle$, $p\in\Sigma$. These surfaces generalize in dimension two a classical family of curves studied by Euler which are critical points of the moment of iner... |
A discussion of torsion of Riemannian G-structures leads to a survey of contributions of Alfred Gray and others on almost Hermitian manifolds, G_2-manifolds, curvature identities, volume expansions, plotting geodesics, and the geometry of nilmanifolds. The paper concludes with a new example of a compact 8-manifold wit... |
We study inverse mean curvature flows of starshaped, mean convex hypersurfaces in warped product manifolds with a positive warping factor $\varphi(r)$. If $\varphi'(r)>0$ and $\varphi''(r)\geq 0$, we show that these flows exist for all times, remain starshaped and mean convex. |
The paper suggests new topological lower bounds for the number of zeros of closed 1-forms within a given cohomology class. The main new technical tool is the deformation complex, which allows to pass to a singular limit and reduce the original problem with a closed 1-form to a traditional problem with a Morse function... |
We define two transforms between non-conformal harmonic maps from a surface into the 3-sphere. With these transforms one can construct, from one such harmonic map, a sequence of harmonic maps. |
We show that under certain symmetry, the images of complete harmonic embeddings from the complex plane into the hyperbolic plane is completely determined by the geometric information of the vertical measured foliation and is independent of the horizontal measured foliation of the corresponding Hopf differentials. |
On the upper hemisphere, we use the Obata-Escobar argument to classify conformal metrics with constant $\sigma_k$ curvature and constant boundary mean curvature in all types of cones including positive and negative cones. This extends a result of Escobar in \cite{Es} for $k=1$. |
Let $(M,\bar{g}, e^{-f}d\mu)$ be a complete metric measure space with Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature bounded below by a positive constant. We prove that, in $M$, there is no complete two-sided $L_f$-stable immersed $f$-minimal hypersurface with finite weighted volume. |
We give a complementary generalization of the extensions of Bonnet-Myers theorem obtained by Calabi and also Cheeger-Gromov-Taylor. |
We show that some embedded standard $13$-spheres in Shimada's exotic $15$-spheres have $\mathbb{Z}_2$ quotient spaces, $P^{13}$s, that are fake real $13$-dimensional projective spaces, i.e., they are homotopy equivalent, but not diffeomorphic to the standard $\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{13}$. As observed by F. Wilhelm a... |
We prove that a spacelike spherical symmetric constant mean curvature (SSCMC) surface and a general spacelike constant mean curvature (CMC) surface with certain boundary condition at the future null-infinity in Schwarzschild spacetime are asymptotically hyperbolic in the sense of Wang \cite{Wang2001} and Chruściel-Herz... |
In this paper we review some author's results about Weingarten surfaces in Euclidean space $\r^3$ and hyperbolic space $\h^3$. We stress here in the search of examples of linear Weingarten surfaces that satisfy a certain geometric property. |
A level orbit of a mechanical Hamiltonian system is a solution of Newton equation that is contained in a level set of the potential energy. In 2003, Mark Levi asked for a characterization of the smooth potential energy functions on the plane with the property that any point on the plane lies on a level orbit; we call ... |
Given a measure space ${\mathcal X}$, we can construct a number of induced structures: eg. its $L^2$ space, the space ${\mathcal P}({\mathcal X})$ of probability distributions on ${\mathcal X}$. |
We study codimension-two spacelike submanifolds in Lorentzian spacetimes that admit umbilical lightlike normal directions. We show that such submanifolds are subject to strong geometric and topological constraints, establishing explicit relationships between extrinsic geometry, mean curvature, and shear-isotropy. |
In the present paper we consider a special class of Lorentz surfaces in the four-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space with neutral metric which are one-parameter systems of meridians of rotational hypersurfaces with timelike or spacelike axis and call them meridian surfaces. We give the complete classification of minima... |
We study complex analytic projective connections on surfaces in projective n-spaces in terms of the "second" neighborhood of the surface in the ambient space, and in terms of the osculating behavior of the integral curves. We also investigate the action of a remarkable rational transformation on projective con... |
In this paper we continue our study of bifurcations of solutions of boundary-value problems for symplectic maps arising as Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. These have been shown to be connected to catastrophe theory via generating functions and ordinary and reversal phase space symmetries have been considered. |
Let $M\subset S^{n+1}$ be the hypersurface generated by rotating a hypersurface $M_0$ contained in the interior of the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^{n-k+1}$. More precisely, $M=\{(\sqrt{1-|m|^2}\, y\, , m):y\in S^k,\, m\in M_0\}$. |
The Tait-Kneser theorem, first demonstrated by Peter G. Tait in 1896, states that the osculating circles along a plane curve with monotone non-vanishing curvature are pairwise disjoint and nested. This note contains a proof of this theorem using the Lorentzian geometry of the space of circles. |
In this paper, two interesting eigenvalue comparison theorems for the first non-zero Steklov eigenvalue of the Laplacian have been established for manifolds with radial sectional curvature bounded from above. Besides, sharper bounds for the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Wentzell eigenvalue problem of the weighted L... |
We construct new explicit proper biharmonic functions on the $3$-dimensional Thurston geometries $\Sol$, $\Nil$, $\SL2$, $H^2\times\rn$ and $S^2\times\rn$. |
In this paper, we study the Chern classes on the moduli space of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. We prove that the integrations of the invariants of the curvature of the Weil-Petersson metric are finite. |
On closed Riemannian manifolds with Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature bounded from below and bounded gradient of the potential function, we obtain lower bounds for all positive eigenvalues of the Beltrami-Laplacian instead of the drifted Laplacian. The lower bound of the $k$th eigenvalue depends on $k$, Bakry-Émery Ricci cu... |
We study an energy functional on the universal spinor bundle over a closed $n$-dimensional spin manifold $M$. The critical points of this functional, which is modelled on the total torsion functional of $G_2$-structures in seven dimensions, are pairs of Ricci-flat metrics and real parallel spinor fields provided that ... |
Extending a recent theory developed on compact Kähler manifolds by Guedj-Lu-Zeriahi and the author, we define and study pluripotential solutions to degenerate parabolic complex Monge-Ampère equations on compact Hermitian manifolds. Under natural assumptions on the Cauchy boundary data, we show that the pluripotential ... |
By studying a complex Monge-Ampère equation, we present an alternate proof to a recent result of Chu-Lee-Tam concerning the projectivity of a compact Kähler manifold $N^n$ with $\Ric_k< 0$ for some integer $k$ with $1<k<n$, and the ampleness of the canonical line bundle $K_N$. |
In <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.08617" data-arxiv-id="2207.08617" class="link-https">arXiv:2207.08617</a> [math.DG] Brendle-Hirsch-Johne proved that $T^m\times S^{n-m}$ does not admit metrics with positive $m$-intermediate curvature when $n\leq 7$. Chu-Kwong-Lee showed in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.122... |
We study the boundary asymptotics of ACH metrics which are formally Einstein. In terms of the partially integrable almost CR structure induced on the boundary at infinity, existence and uniqueness of such formal asymptotic expansions are studied. |
There are many non-trivial entire spacelike graphs with constant mean curvature $H$ (CMC $H$, for short) in the isotropic 3-space $\mathbb{I}^3$. In this paper, we show a value distribution theorem of Gaussian curvature of complete spacelike constant mean curvature surfaces in $\mathbb{I}^3$, which implies a Bernstein... |
An explicit lower bound for the mass of an asymptotically flat Riemannian 3-manifold is given in terms of linear growth harmonic functions and scalar curvature. As a consequence, a new proof of the positive mass theorem is achieved in dimension three. |
We consider closed manifolds that possess a so called rank one ray structure. That is a (flat) affine structure such that the linear part is given by the products of a diagonal transformation and a commuting rotation. |
We prove the mean curvature flow of the graph of a symplectomorphism between Riemann surfaces converges smoothly as time approaches infinity. |
In a recent paper, the authors established the uniqueness of photon spheres in static vacuum asymptotically flat spacetimes by adapting Bunting and Masood-ul-Alam's proof of static vacuum black hole uniqueness. Here, we establish uniqueness of suitably defined sub-extremal photon spheres in static electro-vacuum a... |
We show that on a certain class of bounded, complete Reinhardt domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ that enjoy a lot of symmetries, the Carathéodory pseudo-distance and the geodesic distance of the complete Kähler-Einstein metric with Ricci curvature $-1$ are different. |
In this paper, we shall show that a polarized algebraic manifold is K-stable if the polarization class admits a Kaehler metric of constant scalar curvature. This generalizes the results of Chen-Tian, Donaldson and Stoppa. |
In this work, we study the Willmore submanifolds in a closed connected Riemannian manifold which are orbits for the isometric action of a compact connected Lie group. We call them homogeneous Willmore submanifolds or Willmore orbits. |

Borówka constructed a minitwistor space of an asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein-Weyl manifold with $\mathcal{M}$ being the boundary. In this article, starting from a symmetry of conformal Cartan connection, we prov... |
We provide a characterization of the Clifford Torus in S3 via moving frames and contact structure equations. More precisely, we prove that minimal surfaces in S3 with constant contact angle must be the Clifford Torus. |
In this paper, we set up a new Yamabe type flow on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ of dimension $n\geq 3$. Let $\psi(x)$ be any smooth function on $M$. |
We review some recent results on the mean curvature flows of Lagrangian submanifolds from the perspective of geometric partial differential equations. These include global existence and convergence results, characterizations of first-time singularities, and constructions of self-similar solutions. |
Almost contact manifolds with B-metric are considered. A special linear connection is introduced, which preserves the almost contact B-metric structure on these manifolds. |
Given a compact Chern-Ricci flat balanced orbifold, we show that its blow-up at a finite family of smooth points admits constant Chern scalar curvature balanced metrics, extending Arezzo-Pacard's construction to the balanced setting. Moreover, if the orbifold has isolated singularities and admits crepant resolutio... |
Suppose a sequence $M_j$ of Alexandrov spaces collapses to a space $X$ with only weak singularities. Yamaguchi constructed a map $f_j:M_j\to X$ called an almost Lipschitz submersion for large $j$. |
This paper proves a convergence theorem for the push-forward Wiener measures on holonomy groups via stochastic parallel transports along convergent metric connections. |
We prove a regularity result for unit volume conformal metrics with integral scalar curvature bounds for $p>n/2$ and first eigenvalue of $\Delta$ bounded from below by a constant $B > \Lambda_1(S^n,[g_{st.}]). $ |
The SL(2)-character variety X of a closed surface M enjoys a natural complex-symplectic structure invariant under the mapping class group G of M. Using the ergodicity of G on the SU(2)-character variety, we deduce that every G-invariant meromorphic function on X is constant. The trace functions of closed curves on M d... |
A theorem of Llarull says that if a smooth metric $g$ on the $n$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ is bounded below by the standard round metric and the scalar curvature $R_g$ of $g$ is bounded below by $n (n - 1)$, then the metric $g$ must be the standard round metric. We prove a spectral Llarull theorem by replacing the bound $... |
We classify all simply connected Riemannian manifolds whose isotropy groups act with cohomogeneity less than or equal to two. |
We present a global construction of a so-called D-bracket appearing in the physics literature of Double Field Theory (DFT) and show that if certain integrability criteria are satisfied, it can be seen as a sum of two Courant algebroid brackets. In particular, we show that the local picture of the extended space-time u... |
Block and Weinberger show that an arithmetic manifold can be endowed with a positive scalar curvature metric if and only if its $\rationals$-rank exceeds 2. We show in this article that these metrics are never in the same coarse class as the natural metric inherited from the base Lie group. |
Motivated by manifold learning techniques, we give an explicit lower bound for how far a smoothly embedded compact submanifold in ${\mathbb R}^N$ can move in a normal direction and remain an embedding. In addition, given a penalty function $P : \text{Emb}(M,\mathbb{R}^N) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ on the space of embedd... |
Let M be a paracompact smooth manifold of dimension n; A a Weil algebra and M^A the Weil bundle associated. We define and describe the notion of \widetilded-Poisson cohomology and of \widetilded^A -Poisson cohomology on M^A. |
In this paper we study gauge theory on SL(2,C)-equivariant bundles over XxP^1, where X is a compact Kahler manifold, P^1 is the complex projective line, and the action of SL(2,C) is trivial on X and standard on P^1. We first classify these bundles, showing that they are in correspondence with objects on X - that we ca... |
We prove that if a level set of a degree $n$ general inverse $\sigma_k$ equation $f(\lambda_1, \cdots, \lambda_n) = \lambda_1 \cdots \lambda_n - \sum_{k = 0}^{n-1} c_k \sigma_k(\lambda) = 0$ is contained in $q + \Gamma_n$ for some $q \in \mathbb{R}^n$, where $c_k$ are real numbers not necessary to be non-negative and $... |
The object of study of this article is compact surfaces in the three-dimensional hyperbolic space with a positive-definite second fundamental form. It is shown that several conditions on the Gaussian curvature of the second fundamental form can be satisfied only by extrinsic spheres. |
We investigate surfaces with constant harmonic-mean curvature one (HMC-1 surfaces) in hyperbolic three-space. We allow them to have certain kinds of singularities, and discuss some global properties. |
