We consider intermediate Ricci curvatures $Ric_k$ on a closed Riemannian manifold $M^n$. These interpolate between the Ricci curvature when $k=n-1$ and the sectional curvature when $k=1$. By establishing a surgery result for Riemannian…

We show that if a complete Riemannian manifold supports a vector field such that the Ricci tensor plus the Lie derivative of the metric with respect to the vector field has a positive lower bound, then the fundamental group is finite. In…

We show that a complete Riemannian manifold has finite topological type (i.e., homeomorphic to the interior of a compact manifold with boundary), provided its Bakry-\'{E}mery Ricci tensor has a positive lower bound, and either of the…

In Riemannian geometry the prescribed Ricci curvature problem is as follows: given a smooth manifold $M$ and a symmetric 2-tensor $r$, construct a metric on $M$ whose Ricci tensor equals $r$. In particular, DeTurck and Koiso proved the…

In a Riemannian manifold with a smooth positive function that weights the associated Hausdorff measures we study stable sets, i.e., second order minima of the weighted perimeter under variations preserving the weighted volume. By assuming…

We study the quantum Riemannian geometry of quantum projective spaces of any dimension. In particular we compute the Riemann and Ricci tensors, using previously introduced quantum metrics and quantum Levi-Civita connections. We show that…

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…
