A two-component link produces a torus as the product of the component knots in a two-point configuration space of a three-sphere. This space can be identified with a cotangent bundle and also with an indefinite Grassmannian. We show that…

Let $(E,\F,\mu)$ be a $\si$-finite measure space. For a non-negative symmetric measure $J(\d x, \d y):=J(x,y) \,\mu(\d x)\,\mu(\d y)$ on $E\times E,$ consider the quadratic form $$\E(f,f):= \frac{1}{2}\int_{E\times E} (f(x)-f(y))^2 \, J(\d…

Recent numerical results point to the existence of a conformally invariant twist defect in the critical 3d Ising model. In this note we show that this fact is supported by both epsilon expansion and conformal bootstrap calculations. We find…

We study inequalities connecting a product of uniform norms of polynomials with the norm of their product. Generalizing Gel'fond-Mahler inequality for the unit disk and Kneser-Borwein inequality for the segment $[-1,1]$, we prove an…

We study the mechanisms of the non properness of the action of the group of diffeomorphisms on the space of Lorentzian metrics of a compact manifold. In particular, we prove that nonproperness entails the presence of lightlike geodesic…

We show that the horofunction boundary of Teichm\"uller space with Thurston's Lipschitz metric is the same as the Thurston boundary. We use this to determine the isometry group of the Lipschitz metric, apart from in some exceptional cases.…

A classical result of Aubin states that the constant in Moser-Trudinger-Onofri inequality on $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ can be imporved for furnctions with zero first order moments of the area element. We generalize it to higher order moments case.…

The space of $G$-invariant metrics on a homogeneous space $G/H$ is in one-to-one correspondence with the set of inner products on the tangent space $\fr{m}\cong T_{{\it o}}(G/H)$, which are invariant under the isotropy representation. When…

In spaces of nonpositive curvature the existence of isometrically embedded flat (hyper)planes is often granted by apparently weaker conditions on large scales. We show that some such results remain valid for metric spaces with non-unique…

We discuss the relationship between ratio asymptotics for general orthogonal polynomials and the asymptotics of the associated Bergman shift operator. More specifically, we consider the case in which a measure is supported on an infinite…

This paper contains two main results. The first is the existence of an equivariant Weil-Petersson geodesic in Teichmueller space for any choice of pseudo-Anosov mapping class. As a consequence one obtains a classification of the elements of…

In this paper we establish asymptotic (biasymptotic) equivalence between spaces of solutions of a given linear homogeneous system and a perturbed system. The perturbations are of either linear or weakly linear characters. Existence of a…

We prove that uniform random triangulations whose genus is proportional to their size $n$ have diameter of order $\log n$ with high probability. We also show that in such triangulations, the distances between most pairs of points differ by…

The logarithmic Chow semistability is a notion of Geometric Invariant Theory for the pair consists of varieties and its divisors. In this paper we introduce a obstruction of semistability for polarized toric manifolds and its toric…

In this paper, we show that the analogue of Thurston's asymmetric metric on the Teichm{\"u}ller space of flat structures on the torus is weak Finsler and we give a geometric description of its unit sphere at each point in the tangent space…

In this note, we consider the isoperimetric inequality on an asymptotically flat manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature, and improve it by using Hawking mass. We also obtain a rigidity result when equality holds for the classical…

We construct the first examples of families of bad Riemannian orbifolds which are isospectral with respect to the Laplacian but not isometric. In our case these are particular fixed weighted projective spaces equipped with isospectral…

Random hyperspherical harmonics are Gaussian Laplace eigenfunctions on the unit $d$-sphere ($d\ge 2$). We investigate the distribution of their defect i.e., the difference between the measure of positive and negative regions. Marinucci and…

Using exhaustion properties of invariant plurisubharmonic functions along with basic combinatorial information on toric varieties convergence results for sequences of distribution functions \phi_n=|s_N| / |s_N|_{L^2} for sections s_N\in…

The existence of nontrivial cup products or Massey products in the cohomology of a manifold leads to inequalities of systolic type, but in general such inequalities are not optimal (tight). Gromov proved an {optimal} systolic inequality for…
