We prove that every mod 2 integral cycle $T$ in a Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ can be approximated in flat norm by a cycle which is a smooth submanifold $\Sigma$ of nearly the same area, up to a singular set of codimension 3; in…

The Reifenberg theorem \cite{reif_orig} tells us that if a set $S\subseteq B_2\subseteq \mathbb R^n$ is uniformly close on all points and scales to a $k$-dimensional subspace, then $S$ is H\"older homeomorphic to a $k$-dimensional Euclidean…

Let $(M^n,g)$, $n \ge 4$, be a compact simply-connected Riemannian manifold with nonnegative isotropic curvature. Given $0<l\le L$, we prove that there exists $\eps = \eps (l,L,n)$ satisfying the following: If the scalar curvature $s$ of…

In this note we compare two ways of measuring the $n$-dimensional "flatness" of a set $S\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, where $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and $d>n$. The first one is to consider the classical Reifenberg-flat numbers $\alpha(x,r)$ ($x \in S$,…

The well-known Reifenberg theorem states that if a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be well approximated by $k$-planes at every point and every scale, then it is biH\"older homeomorphic to a $k$-disk. This article concerns a subset $S$ of…

The first goal of this paper is to give a short description of the planar bi-Sobolev homeomorphisms, providing simple and self-contained proofs for some already known properties. In particular, for any such homeomorphism $u:\Omega\to…

We prove that if E a subset of an n-dimensional manifold, then every continuous R^n-valued map on E that is zero-free on the interior of E can be approximated in the fine topology, and hence, in particular, in the uniform topology, by a…

We consider a compact Riemann surface $R$ of arbitrary genus, with a finite number of non-overlapping quasicircles, which separate $R$ into two subsets: a connected Riemann surface $\Sigma$, and the union $\mathcal{O}$ of a finite…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ be a bounded open set. Given $1\leq m_1,m_2\leq n-2$, we construct a homeomorphism $f :\Omega\to \Omega$ that is H\"older continuous, $f$ is the identity on $\partial \Omega$, the derivative $D f$ has rank…
