We show that a disc functional on a complex manifold has a plurisubharmonic envelope if all its pullbacks by holomorphic submersions from domains of holomorphy in affine space do and it is locally bounded above and upper semicontinuous in a…

Let $M$ be a closed surface and $f$ a diffeomorphism of $M$. A diffeomorphism is said to permute a dense collection of domains, if the union of the domains are dense and the iterates of any one domain are mutually disjoint. In this note, we…

A singular riemannian foliation F on a complete riemannian manifold M is said to admit sections if each regular point of M is contained in a complete totally geodesic immersed submanifold (a section) that meets every leaf of F orthogonally…

Let $f\colon M^{2n}\to\mathbb{R}^{2n+4}$ be an isometric immersion of a Kaehler manifold of complex dimension $n\geq 5$ into Euclidean space with complex rank at least $5$ everywhere. Our main result is that, along each connected component…

Let E be a generic real submanifold of an almost complex manifold. The geometry of Bishop discs attached to E is studied in terms of the Levi form of E.

This paper is concerned with "nice" compactifications of manifolds. Siebenmann's iconic dissertation characterized open manifolds M^m (m>5) compactifiable by addition of a manifold boundary. His theorem extends easily to cases where M^m is…

The theory of flat Pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and flat affine manifolds is closely connected to the topic of prehomogeneous affine representations of Lie groups. In this article, we exhibit several aspects of this correspondence. At the…

It is proved that any (repetitive) Riemannian manifold of bounded geometry can be realized as a leaf of some (minimal) Riemannian matchbox manifold without holonomy. Our methods can be adapted to achieve Cantor transversals or a prescribed…

In this paper we study the minimal and maximal $L^{2}$-cohomology of oriented, possibly not complete, Riemannian manifolds. Our focus will be on both the reduced and the unreduced $L^{2}$-cohomology groups. In particular we will prove that…

Let $f\colon M\to N$ be a proper map between two aspherical compact orientable 3-manifolds with empty or toroidal boundary. We assume that $N$ is not a closed graph-manifold. Suppose that $f$ induces an epimorphism on fundamental groups. We…

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold. Suppose $M$ contains a bounded, concave, connected open set $U$ with $C^0$ boundary and $M\setminus U$ is connected. We assume that either the relative homotopy set $\pi_1(M,M\setminus U)=0$ or the…

Let $X$ be a closed, $1$-dimensional, complex subvariety of $\CC^2$ and let $\ol{\BB}$ be a closed ball in $\CC^2 - X$. Then there exists a Fatou-Bieberbach domain $\Omega$ with $X \subseteq \Omega \subseteq \CC^2 - \ol{\BB}$ and a…

We present some results dealing with the local geometry of almost complex manifolds. We establish mainly the complete hyperbolicity of strictly pseudoconvex domains, the extension of plurisubharmonic functions through generic submanifolds…

In this work we explore the theme of $L^p$-boundedness of Bergman projections of domains that can be covered, in the sense of ramified coverings, by "nice" domains (e.g. strictly pseudoconvex domains with real analytic boundary). In…

Motivated by the work of Cappell, Deturck, Gluch and Miller, we extend the notion of cohomology of harmonic forms (of a compact manifold with boundary) to the abstract setting of Hilbert complexes. Then, we present some geometric…

In this paper we explore the geometric structures associated with curvature radii of curves with values on a Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$. We show the existence of sub-Riemannian manifolds naturally associated with the curvature radii and…

This work aims to define the concept of manifold, which has a very important place in the topology, on digital images. So, a general perspective is provided for two and three-dimensional imaging studies on digital curves and digital…

We formalize the ``metric bundle'' viewpoint by defining, for any smooth $n$--manifold $M$, the open fiberwise cones $\mathcal{G}^{p,q}\subset S^2\Tstar M$ of nondegenerate symmetric bilinear forms with fixed signature $(p,q)$, and we…

This note serves to record examples of diffeomorphisms of closed smooth $4$-manifolds $X$ that are homotopic but not pseudoisotopic to the identity, and to explain why there are no such examples when $X$ is orientable and its fundamental…

We study curvature invariants of a sub-Riemannian manifold (i.e., a manifold with a Riemannian metric on a non-holonomic distribution) related to mutual curvature of several pairwise orthogonal subspaces of the distribution, and prove…
