It is well known that an $m$-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be locally isometrically embedded into the $m+1$-dimensional Euclidean space if and only if there exists a symmetric 2-tensor field satisfying the Gauss and Codazzi equations.…

We construct special Lagrangian pair of pants in general dimensions, inside the cotangent bundle of $T^n$ with the Euclidean structure.

We give a sufficient condition for branched minimal immersions of spheres into ellipsoids to be embedded: we show that if the coordinate functions of the branched minimal immersion are first or second eigenfunctions with respect to a…

We give a simple proof of the local version of a result of R. Bryant, stating that any 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be isometrically embedded as a special Lagrangian submanifold in a Calabi-Yau manifold. We refine the theorem…

We extend Campbell-Magaard embedding theorem by proving that any n-dimensional semi-Riemannian manifold can be locally embedded in an (n+1)-dimensional Einstein space. We work out some examples of application of the theorem and discuss its…

We show that Lagrangian submanifolds in six-dimensional nearly K\"ahler (non K\"ahler) manifolds and in twistor spaces $Z\sp{4n+2}$ over quaternionic K\"ahler manifolds $Q\sp{4n}$ are minimal. Moreover, we will prove that any Lagrangian…

For a full-rank integral lattice $\mathcal{L}\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, Regev and Stephens-Davidowitz proved that \[N_{=k}(\mathcal{L}):=|\{y\in\mathcal{L}:\lVert y\rVert^2=k\}|\le 2\binom{n+2k-2}{2k-1}.\] We classify the equality cases. For…

In this paper we prove that the $k$-th order metric-affine Lovelock Lagrangian is not a total derivative in the critical dimension $n=2k$ in the presence of non-trivial non-metricity. We use a bottom-up approach, starting with the study of…

We show that, for a closed orientable n-manifold, with n not congruent to 3 modulo 4, the existence of a CR-regular embedding into complex (n-1)-space ensures the existence of a totally real embedding into complex n-space. This implies that…

The structure of graphs with a 2-vertex-cut that are critical with respect to the Euler genus is studied. A general theorem describing the building blocks is presented. These constituents, called hoppers and cascades, are classified for the…

We prove that a $n$-dimensional, $4 \leq n \leq 6$, compact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton satisfying a $L^{n/2}$-pinching condition is isometric to a quotient of the round $\mathbb{S}^{n}$. The proof relies mainly on sharp algebraic…

We establish an $h$-principle for exact Lagrangian immersions with transverse self-intersections and the minimal, or near-minimal number of double points. One corollary of our result is that any orientable closed 3-manifold admits an exact…

We construct and embedding of a N\"obeling space $N^n_{n-2}$ of codimension $2$ into a Menger space $M^n_{n-2}$ of codimension $2$. This solves an open problem stated by R.~Engelking in 1978 in codimension~$2$.

In this article we prove a rigidity theorem for lagrangian singularities by studying the local cohomology of the lagrangian de Rham complex that was introduced in math.AG/0002083. The result can be applied to show the rigidity of all open…

We derive the discrete version of the classical Helmholtz condition. Precisely, we state a theorem characterizing second order finite differences equations admitting a Lagrangian formulation. Moreover, in the affirmative case, we provide…

We show that the Born-Infeld theory with n complex abelian gauge fields written in an auxiliary field formulation has a U(n,n) duality group. We conjecture the form of the Lagrangian obtained by eliminating the auxiliary fields and then…

This paper characterizes when an $m \times n$ rectangle, where $m$ and $n$ are integers, can be tiled (exactly packed) by squares where each has an integer side length of at least 2. In particular, we prove that tiling is always possible…

We discuss the problem of the existence of a regular invariant Lagrangian for a given system of invariant second-order differential equations on a Lie group $G$, using approaches based on the Helmholtz conditions. Although we deal with the…

We show that a two-dimensional totally real concordance can be approximated by a Lagrangian concordance whose Legendrian boundary has been stabilised both positively and negatively sufficiently many times. The main applications that we…

The n-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds with vanishing second covariant derivative of the Riemann tensor (2-symmetric spacetimes) are characterized and classified. The main result is that either they are locally symmetric or they have a…
