The main goal of this present paper is to bring the results proved by Barbosa, Kenmotsu and Oshikiri (1991) and its ideas to a perspective where the Ricci curvature is bounded from below. For instance, for a foliation by CMC hypersurfaces…

We prove that if a family of metrics, $g_i$, on a compact Riemannian manifold, $M^n$, have a uniform lower Ricci curvature bound and converge to $g_\infty$ smoothly away from a singular set, $S$, with Hausdorff measure, $H^{n-1}(S) = 0$,…

In this work we consider periodic spherically symmetric metrics of constant positive scalar curvature on the n-dimensional cylinder called pseudo-cylindric metrics. These metrics belong to the conformal class $[g_0]$ of the Riemannian…

We prove that a sub-Riemannian manifold equipped with a full-support Radon measure is never $\mathrm{CD}(K,N)$ for any $K\in \mathbb{R}$ and $N\in (1,\infty)$ unless it is Riemannian. This generalizes previous non-CD results for…

Is a sequence of Riemannian manifolds with positive scalar curvature, satisfying some conditions to keep the sequence reasonable, compact? What topology should one use for the convergence and what is the regularity of the limit space? In…

Verifying a conjecture of Gromov we establish a generalized Margulis Lemma for manifolds with lower Ricci curvature bound. Among the various applications are finiteness results for fundamental groups of compact $n$-manifolds with upper…

We derive a uniform bound for the total betti number of a closed manifold in terms of a Ricci curvature lower bound, a conjugate radius lower bound and a diameter upper bound. The result is based on an angle version of Toponogov comparison…

We study the fundamental group of an open $n$-manifold $M$ of nonnegative Ricci curvature. We show that if there is an integer $k$ such that any tangent cone at infinity of the Riemannian universal cover of $M$ is a metric cone, whose…

We prove the existence of free boundary minimal annuli inside suitably convex subsets of three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature $-$ including strictly convex domains of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$.

Recent advances in the theory of metric measures spaces on the one hand, and of sub-Riemannian ones on the other hand, suggest the possibility of a "great unification" of Riemannian and sub-Riemannian geometries in a comprehensive framework…
