On a class of compact Hermitian manifolds including compact K\"{a}hler manifolds, we prove that the the relative non-pluripolar product is always well-defined. We also prove the monotonicity of the relative non-pluripolar product in terms…

We show that for elliptic parametric functionals whose Wulff shape is smooth and has strictly positive curvature, any surface with constant anisotropic mean curvature which is a topological sphere is a rescaling of the Wulff shape.

We give a survey of analytic and geometric results on `fibred cusp spaces', a large class of non-compact Riemannian manifolds which include the regular parts of singular spaces with incomplete cusp singularities as well as complete spaces…

In this short paper, we review recent progress on the positive mass theorem for spacelike hypersurfaces which approach to null infinity in asymptotically flat spacetimes. We use it to prove, if the functions $c(u, \theta, \psi)$, $d(u,…

We prove the Bisognano-Wichmann property for asymptotically complete Haag-Kastler theories of massless particles. These particles should either be scalar or appear as a direct sum of two opposite integer helicities, thus, e.g., photons are…

We consider the Einstein constraints on asymptotically euclidean manifolds $M$ of dimension $n \geq 3$ with sources of both scaled and unscaled types. We extend to asymptotically euclidean manifolds the constructive method of proof of…

We prove the following result: Let $(M,g_0)$ be a compact manifold of dimension $n\geq 12$ with positive isotropic curvature. Then $M$ is diffeomorphic to a spherical space form, or the total space of an orbifiber bundle over $\mathbb{S}^1$…

Let $(M^3, g)$ be an asymptotically flat 3-manifold with positive ADM mass. In this paper, we show that each leaf of the canonical foliation is the unique isoperimetric surface for the volume it encloses. Our proof is based on the "fill-in"…
