Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold of nonnegative Ricci curvature and $\Sigma$ a compact embedded 2-sided minimal hypersurface in $M$. It is proved that there is a dichotomy: If $\Sigma$ does not separate $M$ then $\Sigma$ is totally…

We construct a foliation of an asymptotically flat end of a Riemannian manifold by hypersurfaces which are critical points of a natural functional arising in potential theory. These hypersurfaces are perturbations of large coordinate…

A vector field on a Riemannian manifold is called conformal Killing if it generates one-parameter group of conformal transformations. The class of conformal Killing symmetric tensor fields of an arbitrary rank is a natural generalization of…

Let $G$ be a unimodular Lie group, $X$ a compact manifold with boundary, and $M$ be the total space of a principal bundle $G\to M\to X$ so that $M$ is also a complex manifold satisfying a local subelliptic estimate. In this work, we show…
