On a smooth asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold with non-compact boundary, we prove a positive mass theorem for metrics which are only continuous across a compact hypersurface. As an application, we obtain a positive mass theorem on…

The Generalised Baker--Schmidt Problem (1970) concerns the $f$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the set of $\psi$-approximable points on a nondegenerate manifold. There are two variants of this problem, concerning simultaneous and dual…

The classical Brill-Noether theorems count the dimension of the family of maps from a general curve of genus g to non-degenerate curves of degree d in r-dimensional projective space. These theorems can be extended to include ramification…

Introduced by Seifert and Threlfall, cylindrical neighborhoods of isolated critical points of smooth functions is an essential tool in the Lusternik- Schnirelmann theory. We conjecture that every isolated critical point of a smooth function…

Given a compact K\"ahler manifold $(X,\omega_0)$ let $\mathcal H_{0}$ be the set of K\"ahler forms cohomologous to $\omega_0$. As observed by Mabuchi \cite{m}, this space has the structure of an infinite dimensional Riemannian manifold, if…

We construct Morse homology groups associated with any regular function on a smooth complex algebraic variety, allowing singular and non-compact critical loci. These groups are generated by critical points of a certain large pertubation of…

Given a function $f$ on a smooth Riemannian manifold without boundary, we prove that if $p \in M$ is a non-degenerate critical point of $f$, then a neighborhood of $p$ contains a foliation by spheres with mean curvature proportional to $f$.…

In this paper, we construct local Morse homology in a new way and compute the local Morse homology of the critical points of the Lagrange problem. As a corollary, we prove for the first time that each of the linear critical points is either…

We give a natural notion of nondegeneracy for singular points of integrable non-Hamiltonian systems, and show that such nondegenerate singularities are locally geometrically linearizable and deformation rigid in the analytic case. We…

We start by revisiting the derivation of the variational formulae for the functional assigning to a bounded regular domain in a Riemannian manifold its first Dirichlet eigenvalue and extend it to (not necessarily bounded) domains in certain…

The existence or non-existence of Einstein metrics on 4-manifolds with non-trivial fundamental group and the relation with the underlying differential structure are analyzed. For most points $(n,m)$ in a large region of the integer lattice,…

We relate the topology of the Morse boundary of a group to geometric and algorithmic properties of the group. In particular, we show that a group has $\sigma$-compact Morse boundary if and only if it is Morse local-to-global. We also…

Given a Riemannian manifold M and a hypersurface H in M, it is well known that infinitesimal convexity on a neighborhood of a point in H implies local convexity. We show in this note that the same result holds in a semi-Riemannian manifold.…

We study a generalized boundary rigidity problem, which investigates whether the areas of embedded minimal surfaces can uniquely determine a Riemannian manifold with boundary. We prove that for a conformal perturbation of an analytic metric…

We prove that the $TT$-gauge-fixed linearised Einstein operator is non-degenerate for Riemannian Kottler ("Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter") metrics with dimension- and topology-dependent ranges of mass parameter. We provide evidence that this…

We consider the operator $F(u) = u' + f(t,u(t))$ acting on periodic real valued functions. Generically, critical points of $F$ are infinite dimensional Morin-like singularities and we provide operational characterizations of the…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. This paper is concerned with the set of scalar-flat metrics which are in the conformal class of g and have the boundary as a constant mean curvature hypersurface. We prove that this…
