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, $H^{n-1}(S) = 0$,…
We relate $L^p$ convergence of metric tensors or volume convergence to a given smooth metric to Intrinsic Flat and Gromov-Hausdorff convergence for sequences of Riemannian manifolds. We present many examples of sequences of conformal…
Given a compact, connected, and oriented manifold with boundary $M$ and a sequence of smooth Riemannian metrics defined on it, $g_j$, we prove volume preserving intrinsic flat convergence of the sequence to the smooth Riemannian metric…
We study sequences of oriented Riemannian manifolds with boundary and, more generally, integral current spaces and metric spaces with boundary. {\color{blue}For a metric space, we define its boundary to be the completion of the space minus…
In this paper we produce a sequence of Riemannian manifolds $M_j^m$, $m \ge 2$, which converge in the intrinsic flat sense to the unit $m$-sphere with the restricted Euclidean distance. This limit space has no geodesics achieving the…
In this paper, we consider a fixed metric space (possibly an oriented Riemannian manifold with boundary) with an increasing sequence of distance functions and a uniform upper bound on diameter. When the metric space endowed with the…
Herein we present open problems and survey examples and theorems concerning sequences of Riemannian manifolds with uniform lower bounds on scalar curvature and their limit spaces. Examples of Gromov and of Ilmanen which naturally ought to…
Let a sequence of conformal Riemannian metrics $\{g_k=u_k^2g_0\}$ be isospectral to $g_0$ over a compact boundaryless smooth 4-dimension manifold $(M,g_0)$. We prove that the subsequence of conformal factors $\{u_k\}$ converges to $u$…
We consider sequences of compact Riemannian manifolds with uniform Sobolev bounds on their metric tensors, and prove that their distance functions are uniformly bounded in the H\"{o}lder sense. This is done by establishing a general trace…
By Gromov's compactness theorem for metric spaces, every uniformly compact sequence of metric spaces admits an isometric embedding into a common compact metric space in which a subsequence converges with respect to the Hausdorff distance.…
We present the Tetrahedral Compactness Theorem which states that sequences of Riemannian manifolds with a uniform upper bound on volume and diameter that satisfy a uniform tetrahedral property have a subsequence which converges in the…
This is an intuitive survey of extrinsic and intrinsic notions of convergence of manifolds complete with pictures of key examples and a discussion of the properties associated with each notion. We begin with a description of three extrinsic…
A theorem of Anderson and Bando-Kasue-Nakajima from 1989 states that to compactify the set of normalized Einstein metrics with a lower bound on the volume and an upper bound on the diameter in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense, one has to add…
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 develop a matricial version of Rieffel's Gromov-Hausdorff distance for compact quantum metric spaces within the setting of operator systems and unital C*-algebras. Our approach yields a metric space of ``isometric'' unital complete order…
Given a pair of metric tensors $g_1 \ge g_0$ on a Riemannian manifold, $M$, it is well known that $\operatorname{Vol}_1(M) \ge \operatorname{Vol}_0(M)$. Furthermore one has rigidity: the volumes are equal if and only if the metric tensors…
We examine the limits of covering spaces and the covering spectra of oriented Riemannian manifolds, $M_j$, which converge to a nonzero integral current space, $M_\infty$, in the intrinsic flat sense. We provide examples demonstrating that…
We investigate the geometry of the family $\cal M$ of isometry classes of compact metric spaces, endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff metric. We show that sufficiently small neighborhoods of generic finite spaces in the subspace of all finite…
Inspired by the Gromov-Hausdorff distance, we define the intrinsic flat distance between oriented $m$ dimensional Riemannian manifolds with boundary by isometrically embedding the manifolds into a common metric space, measuring the flat…
In this paper, we discuss how a Gromov-Hausdorff-like distance function over the space of all isometric classes of compact $C^k$-Riemannian manifolds should be defined in the aspect of the Riemannan submanifold theory, where $k\geq 1$. The…
