We push forward the study of higher dimensional stable Hamiltonian topology by establishing two non-density results. First, we prove that stable hypersurfaces are not $C^3$-dense in any isotopy class of embedded hypersurfaces on any ambient…

A basilar property and a useful tool in the theory of Sobolev spaces is the density of smooth compactly supported functions in the space $W^{k,p}(\R^n)$ (i.e. the functions with weak derivatives of orders $0$ to $k$ in $L^p$). On Riemannian…

In this article we verify an orbifold version of a conjecture of Nimershiem from 1998. Namely, for every flat $n$-manifold $M$, we show that the set of similarity classes of flat metrics on $M$ which occur as a cusp cross-section of a…
