Gyrations are operations on manifolds that arise in geometric topology, where a manifold $M$ may exhibit distinct gyrations depending on the chosen twisting. For a given $M$, we ask a natural question: do all gyrations of $M$ share the same…

We construct an explicit map from a generic minimal $\delta(2)$-ideal Lagrangian submanifold of $\mathbb{C}^n$ to the quaternionic projective space $\mathbb{H}P^{n-1}$, whose image is either a point or a minimal totally complex surface. A…

We provide a classification theorem for compact stable minimal immersions (CSMI) of codimension $1$ or dimension $1$ (codimension $1$ and $2$ or dimension $1$ and $2$) in the product of a complex (quaternionic) projective space with any…

For a conformal manifold, we describe a new relation between the ambient obstruction tensor of Fefferman and Graham and the holonomy of the normal conformal Cartan connection. This relation allows us to prove several results on the…

Liouville's theorem says that in dimension greater than two, all conformal maps are M\"obius transformations. We prove an analogous statement about simplicial complexes, where two simplicial complexes are considered discretely conformally…

Harmonic morphisms, maps which preserve Laplace's equation, are intimately connected to the topic of minimal submanifolds. In this article we first characterise harmonic morphisms between Riemannian manifolds as the weakly horizontally…

For Cartan geometries admitting automorphisms with isotropies satisfying a particular, loosely dynamical property on their model geometries, we demonstrate the existence of an open subset of the geometry with trivial holonomy. This…

While intersection cohomology is stable under small resolutions, both ordinary and intersection cohomology are unstable under smooth deformation of singularities. For complex projective algebraic hypersurfaces with an isolated singularity,…

In this paper we revisit the concept of conformality in the sense of Gauss in the context of octonions and Clifford algebras. We extend a characterization of conformality in terms of a system of partial differential equations and…

The primary goal of this paper is to find a homotopy theoretic approximation to moduli spaces of holomorphic maps Riemann surfaces into complex projective space. There is a similar treatment of a partial compactification of these moduli…

This paper belongs to the realm of conformal geometry and deals with Euclidean submanifolds that admit smooth variations that are infinitesimally conformal. Conformal variations of Euclidean submanifolds is a classical subject in…

We prove that given a pseudo-Riemannian conformal structure whose conformal holonomy representation fixes a totally lightlike subspace of arbitrary dimension, there is, wrt. a local metric in the conformal class defined off a singular set,…

We show that a simply connected stable plane with connected lines is isomorphic to an open subplane of a classical projective plane (i.e., a plane over the real or complex numbers, the quaternions or the octonions) if it has that property…

In this paper we study several aspects of the geometry of conformally stationary Lorentz manifolds, and particularly of GRW spaces, due to the presence of a closed conformal vector field. More precisely, we begin by extending to these…

In this paper, by refining approximation theorems for holomorphic sections of adjoint line bundles, it is proved that the regular locus of a weakly pseudoconvex complex space admitting a positive line bundle can be holomorphically embedded…

We construct field theories in $2+1$ dimensions with multiple conformal symmetries acting on only one of the spatial directions. These can be considered a conformal extension to "subsystem scale invariances", borrowing the language often…

We prove a Simons-type holonomy theorem for totally skew 1-forms with values in a Lie algebra of linear isometries. The only transitive case, for this theorem, is the full orthogonal group. We only use geometric methods and we do not use…

We prove the two theorems of the title, settling two long standing questions in the local theory of singular minimal hypersurfaces. The sharpness of either result is with respect to its hypothesis on the size of the allowable singular sets.…
