In this paper we find, for any arbitrary finite topological type, a compact Riemann surface $\mathcal{M},$ an open domain $M\subset\mathcal{M}$ with the fixed topological type, and a conformal complete minimal immersion $X:M\to\R^3$ which…

We develop a general deformation principle for families of Riemannian metrics on smooth manifolds with possibly non-compact boundary, preserving lower scalar curvature bounds. The principle is used in order to strengthen boundary…

We construct complete Riemannian metrics to show that the total space of tangent bundles of orientable closed surfaces (except torus) admits complete uniformly PSC-metrics. It gives a partial positive answer to one of Gromov's question.

We show that a Riemannian foliation on a topological $n$-sphere has leaf dimension 1 or 3 unless n=15 and the Riemannian foliation is given by the fibers of a Riemannian submersion to an 8-dimensional sphere. This allows us to classify…

We give a generalized curvature-dimension inequality connecting the geometry of sub-Riemannian manifolds with the properties of its sub-Laplacian. This inequality is valid on a large class of sub-Riemannian manifolds obtained from…

In this paper, we establish a kind of splitting theorem for the eigenvalues of a specific family of operators on the base of a warped product. As a consequence, we prove a density theorem for a set of warping functions that makes the…

We analyze the limit of the p-form Laplacian under a collapse, with bounded sectional curvature and bounded diameter, to a smooth limit space. As an application, we characterize when the p-form Laplacian has small positive eigenvalues in a…

Let $(M,g)$ be an $n$-dimensional asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature that admits a noncompact area-minimizing hypersurface $\Sigma \subset M$. In the case where $n = 3$, O. Chodosh and the first-named…

Let $M^n$ be a complete, non-compact and $C^\infty$-smooth Riemannian manifold with nonnegative sectional curvature. Suppose $\Cal S$ is a soul of $M^n$. Then any distance non-increasing retraction $\Psi: M^n \to \Cal S$ must give rise to a…

We obtain upper estimates for the bottom (that is, greatest lower bound) of the essential spectrum of weighted Laplacian operator of a weighted manifold under assumptions of the volume growth of their geodesic balls and spheres.…

We consider a non-negative biminimal properly immersed submanifold $M$ (that is, a biminimal properly immersed submanifold with $\lambda\geq0$) in a complete Riemannian manifold $N$ with non-positive sectional curvature. Assume that the…

This paper develops a discrete theory of real Riemann surfaces based on quadrilateral cellular decompositions (quad-graphs) and a linear discretization of the Cauchy-Riemann equations. We construct a discrete analogue of an antiholomorphic…

In this paper we show that the space of holomorphic immersions from any given open Riemann surface, $M$, into the Riemann sphere $\mathbb{CP}^1$ is weakly homotopy equivalent to the space of continuous maps from $M$ to the complement of the…

We propose a new Riemannian gradient descent method for computing spherical area-preserving mappings of topological spheres using a Riemannian retraction-based framework with theoretically guaranteed convergence. The objective function is…

We investigate certain immersions of constant curvature from Riemann surfaces into flag manifolds equipped with invariant metrics, namely primitive lifts associated to pseudoholomorphic maps of surfaces into complex Grassmannians. We prove…

Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary and let E be a Riemannian vector bundle over M. If $\Sigma$ denotes the sphere subbundle of E, we look for embeddings of $\Sigma$ into E admitting a prescribed mean curvatures of…

We develop a Bochner theory and Bakry-Emery calculus for horizontal Laplacians associated with general Riemannian foliations. No bundle-like assumption on the metric, nor any total geodesicity or minimality condition on the leaves is…

We consider deformations of the scalar curvature of a partially integrable pseudohermitian manifold, in analogy with the work of Fischer and Marsden on Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we introduce and discuss $R$-singular spaces, give…

We develop a variational theory of geodesics for the canonical variation of the metric of a totally geodesic foliation. As a consequence, we obtain comparison theorems for the horizontal and vertical Laplacians. In the case of Sasakian…

We prove that any Riemannian two-sphere with area at most 1 can be continuously mapped onto a tree in a such a way that the topology of fibers is controlled and their length is less than 7.6. This result improves previous estimates and…
