We prove a characterization of F-rationality in terms of tight closure of products of parameter ideals. Our results are inspired by the theory of complete ideals for surfaces and, in particular, the fundamental results of Lipman-Teissier…
In the paper by Klainerman, Rodnianski and Tao \cite{Klainerman-Rodnianski-Tao}, they give a physical space proof to a classical result of Klainerman and Machedon \cite{Klainerman-Machedon} for the bilinear space-time estimates of null…
We show that for a strongly convergent sequence of purely loxodromic finitely generated Kleinian groups with incompressible ends, Cannon-Thurston maps, viewed as maps from a fixed base limit set to the Riemann sphere, converge uniformly.…
Let $(M,g^{TM})$ be an odd dimensional ($\dim M\geq 3$) connected oriented noncompact complete spin Riemannian manifold. Let $k^{TM}$ be the associated scalar curvature. Let $f:M\to S^{\dim M}(1)$ be a smooth area decreasing map which is…
This article uses the conformal Einstein equations and the conformal representation of spatial infinity introduced by Friedrich to analyse the behaviour of the gravitational field near null and spatial infinity for the development of…
In the present paper continuing our previous work we prove an extension theorem for matrices with entries in the algebra of bounded holomorphic functions defined on an unbranched covering of a Caratheodory hyperbolic Riemann surface of…
In this paper we prove several quantitative rigidity results for conformal immersions of surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with bounded total curvature. We show that (branched) conformal immersions which are close in energy to either a round…
In a recent paper (gr-qc/0509107) the author and Rick Schoen obtained a generalization to higher dimensions of a classical result of Hawking concerning the topology of black holes. It was proved that, apart from certain exceptional…
Some fixed point results of classical theory, such as Banach's Fixed Point Theorem, have been previously extended by other authors to asymmetric spaces in recent years. The aim of this paper is to extend to asymmetric spaces some others…
This is a (mostly expository) paper on Reidemeister classes, twisted Burnside-Frobenius theory, congruences, R-infinity property and all that. It was written in 2005 and published in 2008. We post it as it was, only the bibliography data is…
We construct the first examples of residually finite non-exact groups. The construction is based on author's earlier construction of groups containing isometrically expanders using a graphical small cancellation.
In this paper, we study rigidity aspects of Penrose's singularity theorem. Specifically, we aim to answer the following question: if a spacetime satisfies the hypotheses of Penrose's singularity theorem except with weakly trapped surfaces…
We consider a massless scalar field propagating on the exterior of the extreme Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole. Using a discrete conformal symmetry of this spacetime, we draw a one-to-one relationship between the behavior of the field near…
In this article we extend results of Kakutani, Adler-Flatto, Smilansky and others on the classical $\alpha$-Kakutani equidistribution result for sequences arising from finite partitions of the interval. In particular, we describe a…
We prove that any length metric space homeomorphic to a surface may be decomposed into non-overlapping convex triangles of arbitrarily small diameter. This generalizes a previous result of Alexandrov--Zalgaller for surfaces of bounded…
We characterise the quotient surface graphs arising from symmetric contact systems of line segments in the plane and also from symmetric pointed pseudotriangulations in the case where the group of symmetries is generated by a translation or…
A new approach to space-time asymptotics is presented, refining Penrose's idea of conformal transformations with infinity represented by the conformal boundary of space-time. Generalizing examples such as flat and Schwarzschild space-times,…
In this paper, we are going to show some rigidity results for complete open Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature. Without using the famous Cheeger-Gromoll splitting theorem we give a new proof to a rigidity result for…
Exploiting the special features of four-dimensional Riemannian geometry, we derive topological and rigidity results for hypersurfaces immersed in space forms of dimension 5. First, we provide a complete description of the Weyl tensor for…
