This work concerns single-trace correlations of Euclidean multi-matrix models. In the large-N limit we show that Schwinger-Dyson equations imply loop equations and non-anomalous Ward identities. Loop equations are associated to generic…
We develop a new approach to the conformal geometry of embedded hypersurfaces by treating them as conformal infinities of conformally compact manifolds. This involves the Loewner--Nirenberg-type problem of finding on the interior a metric…

In this paper we prove that the set of metrics conformal to the standard metric on $\mathbb{S}^{n}\backslash\{p_{1},\cdots,p_{l}\}$ is locally compact in $C^{m,\alpha}$ topology for any $m>0$, whenever the metrics have constant $\sigma_{k}$…

The curvature tensor of a symplectic connection, as well as its covariant derivatives, satisfy certain identities that hold on any manifold of dimension less than or equal to a fixed n. In this paper, we prove certain results regarding…
We discuss the physical interpretation of a dynamical and inhomogeneous spherically symmetric solution obtained by Fonarev for a scalar field with an exponential potential. There is a single parameter $w$ in the solution which can be set to…
We construct polynomial conformal invariants, the vanishing of which is necessary and sufficient for an $n$-dimensional suitably generic (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold to be conformal to an Einstein manifold. We also construct invariants…
Making use of integral representations, we develop a unified approach to establish blow up profiles, compactness and existence of positive solutions of the conformally invariant equations $P_\sigma(v)= Kv^{\frac{n+2\sigma}{n-2\sigma}}$ on…
We derive an identity for Margulis invariants of affine deformations of a complete orientable one-ended hyperbolic sur- face following the identities of McShane, Mirzakhani and Tan- Wong-Zhang. As a corollary, a deformation of the surface…
A general geometrical scheme is presented for the construction of novel classical gravity theories whose solutions obey two-sided bounds on the sectional curvatures along certain subvarieties of the Grassmannian of two-planes. The…
We analyze the constraints of general coordinate invariance for quantum theories possessing conformal symmetry in four dimensions. The character of these constraints simplifies enormously on the Einstein universe $R \times S^3$. The…
The Kodaira dimension of Shimura varieties has been studied by many people. Kondo and Gritsenko-Hulek-Sankaran studied the singularities of orthogonal Shimura varieties related to the moduli spaces of polarized K3 surfaces. They proved that…
In this article, we first show that given a smooth function $ S $ either on closed manifolds $ (M, g) $ or compact manifolds $ (\bar{M}, g) $ with non-empty boundary, both for dimensions at least $ 3 $, the condition $ S \equiv 0 $, or $ S…

We study the constraint equations for the Einstein-scalar field system on compact manifolds. Using the conformal method we reformulate these equations as a determined system of nonlinear partial differential equations. By introducing a new…
