In this note we prove that the Heisenberg group with a left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric admits a completely integrable totally geodesic distribution of codimension 1. This is on the contrary to the Riemannian case, as it was proved…

We provide a detailed proof of Hawking's singularity theorem in the regularity class $C^{1,1}$, i.e., for spacetime metrics possessing locally Lipschitz continuous first derivatives. The proof uses recent results in $C^{1,1}$-causality…

We obtain boundary nondegeneracy and regularity estimates for solutions to non-divergence equations in $C^1$ domains, providing an explicit modulus of continuity. Our results extend the classical Hopf-Oleinik lemma and boundary Lipschitz…

We resolve a long-standing open problem posed by Federer concerning the rectifiability of the integral geometric measure with exponent p >1, thereby settling a question that has persisted since its formulation. While the main theorem is…

We prove that a viscosity solution of a uniformly elliptic, fully nonlinear equation is $C^{2,\alpha}$ on the compliment of a closed set of Hausdorff dimension at most $\epsilon$ less than the dimension. The equation is assumed to be $C^1$,…

We introduce a generalized version of the local Lipschitz number $\textrm{lip}\,u$, and show that it can be used to characterize Sobolev functions $u\in W_{\textrm{loc}}^{1,p}(\mathbb R^n)$, $1\le p\le \infty$, as well as functions of…
