For any given finitely presented group G there exists a closed oriented 4-manifold with fundamental group G. What pairs of integers can occur as the signature and Euler characteristic of such a 4-manifold? The first part of this paper…

In this paper we prove the existence of a solution to the Dirichlet problem for harmonic maps into a geodesic ball on which the squared distance function from the origin is strictly convex. This improves a celebrated theorem obtained by S.…

In this paper, we construct smooth isometric embeddings of multiple warped product manifolds in quadrics of semi-Euclidean spaces. Our main theorem generalizes previous results as given by Blanusa, Rozendorn, Henke and Azov.

Parametric geometry of numbers is a new theory, recently created by Schmidt and Summerer, which unifies and simplifies many aspects of classical Diophantine approximations, providing a handle on problems which previously seemed out of…

We use the wrinkling theorem proven in Y. Eliashberg and N. Mishachev, "Wrinkling of smooth mappings and its applications - I", Invent. Math., 130(1997), 345-369, to fully describe the homotopy type of the space of S-immersions, i.e.…

A notion of parabolic C-subsolutions is introduced for parabolic equations, extending the theory of C-subsolutions recently developed by B. Guan and more specifically G. Sz\'ekelyhidi for elliptic equations. The resulting parabolic theory…

We study the geometry of universal embedding spaces for compact almost complex manifolds of a given dimension. These spaces are complex algebraic analogues of twistor spaces that were introduced by J-P. Demailly and H. Gaussier. Their…

Classifying the nonflat hypersurfaces in Euclidean space $f\colon M^n\to\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ that locally admit smooth infinitesimal deformations that preserve the Gauss map infinitesimally was a problem only considered by Schouten \cite{Sc}…

In this paper the method of compensated compactness is applied to the problem of isometric immersion of a two dimensional Riemannian manifold with negative Gauss curvature into three dimensional Euclidean space. Previous applications of the…

The class of differential equations describing pseudo-spherical surfaces, first introduced by Chern and Tenenblat [3], is characterized by the property that to each solution of a differential equation, within the class, there corresponds a…

We reformulate the problem of finding conformal immersions of closed Riemannian surfaces in the language of the $h$-principle and we prove that the inclusion from the space of smooth conformal immersions to the space of immersions induces a…

Conformally St{\"a}ckel manifolds can be characterized as the class of n-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (M, G) on which the Hamilton-Jacobi equation G($\nabla$u, $\nabla$u) = 0 for null geodesics and the Laplace equation --$\Delta$…

We consider two Riemannian geometries for the manifold $\mathcal{M}(p,m\times n)$ of all $m\times n$ matrices of rank $p$. The geometries are induced on $\mathcal{M}(p,m\times n)$ by viewing it as the base manifold of the submersion…

We propose a new strong Riemannian metric on the manifold of (parametrized) embedded curves of regularity $H^s$, $s\in(3/2,2)$. We highlight its close relationship to the (generalized) tangent-point energies and employ it to show that this…

We present an explicit piecewise linear map from a flat Klein bottle (i.e. one that is locally isometric to the Euclidean plane) into Euclidean 3-space an that is an isometric immersion -- a path isometry that is locally injective. The…

Although the Nash theorem solves the isometric embedding problem, matters are inherently more involved if one is further seeking an embedding that is well-behaved from the standpoint of submanifold geometry. More generally, consider a…

We analyse symmetry breaking in general gauge theories paying particular attention to the underlying geometry of the theory. In this context we find two natural metrics upon the vacuum manifold: a Euclidean metric associated with the scalar…

In 1977, Gauduchon proved that on every compact hermitian manifold $(X, \omega)$ there exists a conformally equivalent hermitian metric $\omega_{\mathrm{G}}$ which satisfies $\mathrm{dd}^c \omega_{\mathrm{G}}^{n-1} = 0$. In this note, we…
