We show a uniform spectral gap of stable commutator length for all compact hyperbolic $2$-orbifolds relative to the peripheral subgroups. Except for the case of a sphere with three cone points, we have an explicit uniform gap $1/36$. These…

Let M be an oriented three-dimensional Riemannian manifold of constant sectional curvature k = 0,1,-1 and let SO(M) be its direct orthonormal frame bundle (direct refers to positive orientation), which may be thought of as the set of all…

We study the isometry groups of compact spherical orientable $3$-orbifolds $S^3/G$, where $G$ is a finite subgroup of $\mathrm{SO}(4)$, by determining their isomorphism type. Moreover, we prove that the inclusion of $\mbox{Isom}(S^3/G)$…

We consider how the geometry and topology of a compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian orbifold with boundary relates to its Steklov spectrum. In two dimensions, motivated by work of A. Girouard, L. Parnovski, I. Polterovich and D. Sher in the…

Compact Type IIB D=4, N=1 orientifolds have certain U(1) sigma model symmetries at the level of the effective Lagrangian. These symmetries are generically anomalous. We study the particular case of $Z_N$ orientifolds and find that these…

We describe the local structure of Riemannian manifolds with harmonic curvature which admit a maximum number, in a well-defined sense, of local warped-product decompositions, and at the same time their Ricci tensor has, at some point, only…

We describe the isometry group of $L^2(\Omega, M)$ for Riemannian manifolds $M$ of dimension at least two with irreducible universal cover. We establish a rigidity result for the isometries of these spaces: any isometry arises from an…

This paper extends Yosida's mean ergodic theorem in order to compute projections onto non-unitary eigenspaces for spectral operators of scalar-type on locally convex linear topological spaces. For spectral operators with dominating point…

Cartan-Hadamard manifold is a simply connected Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature. In this article, we have proved that a Cartan-Hadamard manifold satisfying steady gradient Ricci soliton with the integral condition…

Using the Fourier-Laplace transform, we describe the isomonodromy equations for meromorphic connections on the Riemann sphere with unramified irregular singularities as those for connections with a (possibly ramified) irregular singularity…

Explicit representations of complex structures on closed manifolds are valuable, but relatively rare in the literature. Using isoparametric theory, we construct complex structures on isoparametric hypersurfaces with $g=4, m=1$ in the unit…

Formulae for the number of branch points of one-dimensional orbifolds defined over a non-archimedean local field and uniformisable by discrete projective linear groups are given. They depend only on the uniformising group. The method of…

We present a method which enables one to construct isospectral objects, such as quantum graphs and drums. One aspect of the method is based on representation theory arguments which are shown and proved. The complementary part concerns…

A general approach to proving that the length spectrum of a compact Riemannian manifold is an invariant of the Laplace spectrum comes from considering the wave trace, a spectrally determined tempered distribution. The Poisson relation…

We study transnormal and isoparametric functions on closed Riemannian 4-manifolds and establish fundamental restrictions on their topology and geometry. In particular, we show that such manifolds cannot be endowed with negatively curved…

A three-dimensional orbifold $(\Sigma, \gamma_i, n_i)$, where $\Sigma$ is a rational homology sphere, has a universal abelian orbifold covering, whose covering group is the first orbifold homology. A singular pair $(X,C)$, where $X$ is a…

We construct more dual pairs of type II-heterotic strings in four dimensions with $N=2,1$ spacetime supersymmetry. On the type II side the construction utilizes the various possible choices of K3 automorphisms with fixed points which…
