We investigate the relationship between rigid motions and relative equilibria in the N-body problem on the two-dimensional sphere, S2. We prove that any rigid motion of the N-body system on S2 must be a relative equilibrium. Our approach…
Near a singular point of a surface or a curve, geometric invariants diverge in general, and the orders of diverge, in particular the boundedness about these invariants represent geometry of the surface and the curve. In this paper, we study…
In this work we study regular black holes from a global perspective looking for evading some of the well-known singularity theorems by using their "reverses". Then, model geometries for the slices of typical spherically symmetric, (locally)…
We prove existence and multiplicity of periodic motions for the forced 2-body problem under conditions of topological character. In the different cases, the lower bounds obtained for the number of solutions are related to the winding number…
We determine the general form of the potential of the problem of motion of a rigid body about a fixed point, which allows the angular velocity to remain permanently in a principal plane of inertia of the body. Explicit solution of the…
This paper is devoted to the complete classification of space curves under affine transformations in the view of Cartan's theorem. Spivak has introduced the method but has not found the invariants. Furthermore, for the first time, we…
The problem of resolution of singularities in positive characteristic can be reformulated as follows: Fix a hypersurface $X$, embedded in a smooth scheme, with points of multiplicity at most $n$. Let an $n$-sequence of transformations of…
We show that closed surfaces with minimal total absolute curvature in Cartan-Hadamard 3-manifolds bound flat convex bodies. This generalizes Chern-Lashof's theorem for surfaces in Euclidean space and solves a problem posed by Gromov in…
In this paper we perform systematic investigation of all possible solutions with static compact extra dimensions and expanding three-dimensional subspace (``our Universe''). Unlike previous papers, we consider extra-dimensional subspace to…
This is a survey on known results and open problems about Smooth and PL-Rigidity Problem for negatively curved locally symmetric spaces. We also review some developments about studying the basic topological properties of the space of…
The infinite spin problem concerns the rotational behavior of total collision orbits in the $n$-body problem. It has long been known that when a solution tends to total collision then its normalized configuration curve must converge to the…
Although rare, collisions of two or more bodies in the N-body problem are apparent obstacles at which Newton's Law of Gravity ceases to make sense. Without understanding the nature of collisions, a complete understanding of the N-body…
In this paper, we study open complete metric spaces with non-negative curvature. Among other things, we establish an extension of Perelman's soul theorem for possibly singular spaces: "Let X be a complete, non-compact, finite dimensional…
In this paper we introduce two new notions of sectional curvature for Riemannian manifolds with density. Under both notions of curvature we classify the constant curvature manifolds. We also prove generalizations of the theorems of…
In this survey, we report on progress concerning families of projective curves with fixed number and fixed (topological or analytic) types of singularities. We are, in particular, interested in numerical, universal and asymptotically proper…
We discuss the inverse problem of determining the, possibly anisotropic, conductivity of a body $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}$ when the so-called Neumann-to-Dirichlet map is locally given on a non empty curved portion $\Sigma$ of the…
In this paper, we prove the existence of noncollision singularities in a planar four-body problem in a model different from [J. Xue,Acta Math.V224(2)253-388, 2020.]. In this model, the acceleration can be arbitrarily fast and the masses can…
We prove that positive elliptic-elliptic rotopulsator solutions of the $n$-body problem in spaces of constant Gaussian curvature that move on Clifford tori of nonconstant size either lie on great circles, or project onto regular polygons.…
We study the equation for improper (parabolic) affine spheres from the view point of contact geometry and provide the generic classification of singularities appearing in geometric solutions to the equation as well as their duals. We also…
In this paper we develop methods to extend the minimal hypersurface approach to positive scalar curvature problems to all dimensions. This includes a proof of the positive mass theorem in all dimensions without a spin assumption. It also…
