Given a pseudo-Riemannian metric of regularity $C^{1,1}$ on a smooth manifold, we prove that the corresponding exponential map is a bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism locally around any point. We also establish the existence of totally normal…

We consider geodesics in both Riemannian and Lorentzian manifolds with metrics of low regularity. We discuss existence of extremal curves for continuous metrics and present several old and new examples that highlight their subtle…

We solve explicitly the geodesic equation for a wide class of (pseudo)-Riemannian homogeneous manifolds (G/H,m), including those with G compact, as well as non-compact semisimple Lie groups, under a simple algebraic condition for the metric…

We prove that every complete Einstein (Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian) metric $g$ is geodesically rigid: if any other complete metric $\bar g$ has the same (unparametrized) geodesics with $g$, then the Levi-Civita connections of $g$ and…

We prove a $C^{1,1}$ estimate for solutions of a class of fully nonlinear equations introduced by Chen-He. As an application, we prove the $C^{1,1}$ regularity of geodesics in the space of volume forms.

We prove local Lipschitz regularity for local minimiser of \[ W^{1,1}(\Omega)\ni v\mapsto \int_\Omega F(Dv)\, dx \] where $\Omega\subseteq {\mathbb R}^N$, $N\ge 2$ and $F:{\mathbb R}^N\to {\mathbb R}$ is a quasiuniformly convex integrand in…

We show that maximal causal curves for a Lipschitz continuous Lorentzian metric admit a $\mathcal{C}^{1,1}$-parametrization and that they solve the geodesic equation in the sense of Filippov in this parametrization. Our proof shows that…

We prove the result stated in the title; it is equivalent to the existence of a regular point of the sub-Riemannian exponential mapping. We also prove that the metric is analytic on an open everywhere dense subset in the case of a complete…

Continuing recent efforts in extending the classical singularity theorems of General Relativity to low regularity metrics, we give a complete proof of both the Hawking and the Penrose singularity theorem for $C^1$-Lorentzian metrics - a…

In Theorem 1, we generalize the results of Szabo for Berwald metrics that are not necessary strictly convex: we show that for every Berwald metric F there always exists a Riemannian metric affine equivalent to F. As an application we show…

We prove that each sub-Riemannian manifold can be embedded in some Euclidean space preserving the length of all the curves in the manifold. The result is an extension of Nash $C^1$ Embedding Theorem. For more general metric spaces the same…

We show that Lipschitz solutions $u$ of $\mathrm{div}\, G(\nabla u)=0$ in $B_1\subset\mathbb R^2$ are $C^1$, for strictly monotone vector fields $G\in C^0(\mathbb R^2;\mathbb R^2)$ satisfying a mild ellipticity condition. If $G=\nabla F$…

In this note we investigate the regularity of geodesics in the space of convex and plurisubharmonic functions. In the real setting we prove (optimal) local C^{1,1} regularity. We construct examples which prove that the global C^{1,1}…

We study the regularity of solutions to the fully nonlinear thin obstacle problem. We establish local $C^{1,\alpha}$ estimates on each side of the smooth obstacle, for some small $\alpha > 0$. Our results extend those of Milakis-Silvestre…

We prove the existence of a constant $C > 0$ such that for any Riemannian metric $g$ on a 2-dimensional sphere $S^2$, there exist two distinct closed geodesics with lengths $L_{1}$ and $L_{2}$ satisfying $L_{1} L_{2} \leq C \cdot…

In the present article we prove second-order and Lipschitz regularity for quasilinear elliptic equations in metric spaces endowed with a lower bound on the Ricci curvature. The estimates we obtain are quantitative and cover a large class of…

Riemannian Geometry for $C^{1,1}$ manifolds contains important differences from that for $C^{2}$ manifolds. This paper develops Riemannian geometry at the $C^{1,1}$ level of regularity. It is shown that the connection is not symmetric and…

On the manifold $\Met(M)$ of all Riemannian metrics on a compact manifold $M$ one can consider the natural $L^2$-metric as described first by \cite{Ebin70}. In this paper we consider variants of this metric which in general are of higher…

The present paper is devoted to the problem of (local) geodesic equivalence of Riemannian metrics and sub-Riemannian metrics on generic corank 1 distributions. Using Pontryagin Maximum Principle, we treat Riemannian and sub-Riemannian cases…

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…
