In this paper, we study the prescribed $Q$-curvature problem on closed four-dimensional Riemannian manifolds when the total integral of the $Q$-curvature is a positive integer multiple of the one of the four-dimensional round sphere. This…

We prove Banach, Newton-Raphson and Brouwer fixed point theorems in the framework of generalized smooth functions, a minimal extension of Colombeau's theory (and hence of classical distribution theory) which makes it possible to model…

We prove that in closed almost complex manifolds of any dimension, generic perturbations of the almost complex structure suffice to achieve transversality for all unbranched multiple covers of simple pseudoholomorphic curves with…

We are concerned with the initial value problem governed by generalized Rayleigh-Stokes equations, where the nonlinearity depends on history states and takes values in Hilbert scales of negative order. The solvability and H\"older…

We provide an easy approach to the geodesic distance on the general linear group GL(n) for left-invariant Riemannian metrics which are also right-O(n)-invariant. The parametrization of geodesic curves and the global existence of length…

On a compact manifold with boundary, the map consisting of the scalar curvature in the interior and the mean curvature on the boundary is a local surjection at generic metrics. Moreover, this result may be localized to compact subdomains in…

In this short paper we show a sufficient condition for the solvability of the Dirichlet problem at infinity in Riemannian cones (as defined below).This condition is related to a celebrated result of Milnor that classifies parabolic…

In general, the critical points of the distance function $d_{\mathsf{M}}$ to a compact submanifold $\mathsf{M} \subset \mathbb{R}^D$ can be poorly behaved. In this article, we show that this is generically not the case by listing regularity…

We study inverse boundary problems for semilinear Schr\"odinger equations on smooth compact Riemannian manifolds of dimensions $\ge 2$ with smooth boundary, at a large fixed frequency. We show that certain classes of cubic nonlinearities…

Let Riemannian metrics $g$ and $\bar g$ on a connected manifold $M^n$ have the same geodesics (considered as unparameterized curves). Suppose the eigenvalues of one metric with respect to the other are all different at a point. Then, by the…

We report on some advances made in the problem of singularities in general relativity. First is introduced the singular semi-Riemannian geometry for metrics which can change their signature (in particular be degenerate). The standard…

We provide sufficient conditions for a locally lipschitz mapping to be invertible . We use classical local invertibility conditions together with the non-smooth critical point theory.

We prove that for any compact manifold of dimension greater than $1$, the set of pseudo-Riemannian metrics having a trivial isometry group contains an open and dense subset of the space of metrics.

The generalized Einstein Hilbert action is an extension of the classic scalar curvature energy and Perelman F functional which incorporates a closed three-form. The critical points are known as generalized Ricci solitons, which arise…

Let $E_{\tau}:=\mathbb{C}/(\mathbb{Z}+\mathbb{Z}\tau)$ with $\operatorname{Im}\tau>0$ be a flat torus and $G(z;\tau)$ be the Green function on $E_{\tau}$ with the singularity at $0$. Consider the multiple Green function $G_{n}$ on…

In this paper we lay the foundations for the Morse theoretical study of strongly indefinite functionals on Banach manifolds by developing the local theory for a specific model class that captures several key analytical features also arising…

We generalize the concept of sub-Riemannian geometry to infinite-dimensional manifolds modeled on convenient vector spaces. On a sub-Riemannian manifold $M$, the metric is defined only on a sub-bundle $\calH$ of the tangent bundle $TM$,…

Given a smooth compact manifold with boundary, we study variational properties of the volume functional and of the area functional of the boundary, restricted to the space of the Riemannian metrics with prescribed curvature. We obtain a…

We investigate Birkhoff genericity on submanifolds of homogeneous space $X=SL_d(\bR)\ltimes (\bR^d)^k/ SL_d(\bZ)\ltimes (\bZ^d)^k$, where $d\geq 2$ and $k\geq 1$ are fixed integers. The submanifolds we consider are parameterized by unstable…
