We obtain topological obstructions to the existence of a complete Riemannian metric with uniformly positive scalar curvature on certain (non-compact) $4$-manifolds. In particular, such a metric on the interior of a compact contractible…
Examples of almost-positively and quasi-positively curved spaces of the form M=H((G,h)xF) were discovered recently. Here, h is a left-invariant metric on a compact Lie group G, F is a compact Riemannian manifold on which the subgroup H of G…
In this paper we consider noncompact smooth metric measure spaces $(M, g,e^{-f}dvol_{g})$ of nonnegative Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature, i.e. $Ric + D^{2}f - \frac{1}{N}df \otimes df \geq 0$, for $0< N \leq \infty$, in order to obtain…
Let $Y$ be a closed Calabi-Yau manifold. Let $\omega$ be the K\"ahler form of a Ricci-flat K\"ahler metric on $\mathbb{C}^m \times Y$. We prove that if $\omega$ is uniformly bounded above and below by constant multiples of…
We show that any Riemannian metric conformal to the round metric on $S^n$, for $n\geq 4$, arises as a limit of a sequence of Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature on $S^n$ in the sense of uniform convergence of Riemannian…
Let $\pi: \mathcal{X}^* \rightarrow B^*$ be an algebraic family of compact K\"ahler manifolds of complex dimension $n$ with negative first Chern class over a punctured disc $B^*\in \mathbb{C}$. Let $g_t$ be the unique K\"ahler-Einstein…
In this article, we study a class of K\"ahler manifolds defined on tube domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$, and in particular those which have $O(n) \times \mathbb{R}^n$ symmetry. For these, we prove a uniqueness result showing that any such…
We consider 6-dimensional strict nearly Kaehler manifolds acted on by a compact, cohomogeneity one automorphism group G. We classify the compact manifolds of this class up to G-diffeomorphisms. We also prove that the manifold has constant…
Let $(M,\omega)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold with negative holomorphic sectional curvature. It was proved by Wu-Yau and Tosatti-Yang that $M$ is necessarily projective and has ample canonical bundle. In this paper, we show that any…
In my talk I will discuss the following results which were obtained in joint work with Wilderich Tuschmann. 1. For any given numbers $m$, $C$ and $D$, the class of $m$-dimensional simply connected closed smooth manifolds with finite second…
Let $M$ be a domain enclosed between two principal orbits on a cohomogeneity one manifold $M_1$. Suppose $T$ and $R$ are symmetric invariant (0,2)-tensor fields on $M$ and $\partial M$, respectively. The paper studies the prescribed Ricci…
In this paper, we show that every harmonic map from a compact K\"ahler manifold with uniformly RC-positive curvature to a Riemannian manifold with non-positive complex sectional curvature is constant. In particular, there is no non-constant…
We show that in every dimension $n \geq 8$, there exists a smooth closed manifold $M^n$ which does not admit a smooth positive scalar curvature ("psc") metric, but $M$ admits an $\mathrm{L}^\infty$-metric which is smooth and has psc outside…
For complete Riemannian manifolds with vanishing Bach tensor and positive constant scalar curvature, we provide a rigidity theorem characterized by some pointwise inequalities. Furthermore, we prove some rigidity results under an inequality…

This paper is about positive scalar curvature on a compact manifold $X$ with non-empty boundary $\partial X$. In some cases, we completely answer the question of when $X$ has a positive scalar curvature metric which is a product metric near…
We describe the local structure of Riemannian manifolds with harmonic curvature which admit a maximum number, in a well-defined sense, of local warped-product decompositions, and at the same time their Ricci tensor has, at some point, only…
We give a mathematical exposition of the Page metric, and introduce an efficient coordinate system for it. We carefully examine the submanifolds of the underlying smooth manifold, and show that the Page metric does not have positive…
We prove that if $(M^n,g)$, $n \ge 4$, is a compact, orientable, locally irreducible Riemannian manifold with nonnegative isotropic curvature, then one of the following possibilities hold: (i) $M$ admits a metric with positive isotropic…
Let $(M^n, g)$ and $(X^m, h)$ be closed manifolds $m, n>2$, such that $(X, h)$ has constant positive scalar curvature. We consider the one parameter family of products $(M\times X, g+\epsilon^2 h)$, $\epsilon>0$. We prove that if either the…
