We give new estimates on the lower bounds for the first closed or Neumann eigenvalue for a compact manifold with positive Ricci curvature in terms of the diameter and the lower bound of Ricci curvature. The results improve the previous…
This is an exposition of recent results -- obtained in joint work with Andrzej Derdzinski -- on essentially conformally symmetric (ECS) manifolds, that is, those pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with parallel Weyl curvature which are not locally…
In this paper, we focus on Hamilton's pinching conjecture formulated in Hamilton's paper "Three-manifolds with positive Ricci curvature". Let $(M, g)$ be a complete, connected, noncompact Riemannian $3$-manifold satisfying the…
In this paper, we will study the asymptotic geometry of 4-dimensional steady gradient Ricci solitons under the condition that they dimension reduce to $3$-manifolds. We will show that such 4-dimensional steady gradient Ricci solitons either…
There is a conjecture that a complete Riemannian 3-manifold with bounded sectional curvature, and pointwise pinched nonnegative Ricci curvature, must be flat or compact. We show that this is true when the negative part (if any) of the…
In this paper we give some results on the topology of manifolds with $\infty$-Bakry-\'Emery Ricci tensor bounded below, and in particular of steady and expanding gradient Ricci solitons. To this aim we clarify and further develop the theory…
In this paper we study sufficient conditions for metric subregularity of a set-valued map which is the sum of a single-valued continuous map and a locally closed subset. First we derive a sufficient condition for metric subregularity which…
The deformation theory of hyperbolic and Euclidean cone-manifolds with all cone angles less then 2{\pi} plays an important role in many problems in low dimensional topology and in the geometrization of 3-manifolds. Furthermore, various old…
A necessary and sufficient set of conditions for a quasisymmetric magnetic field in the form of constraint equations is derived from first principles. Without any assumption regarding the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium of the plasma,…
In this paper (a sequel to B. Drinovec Drnovsek and F. Forstneric, Holomorphic curves in complex spaces, Duke Math. J. 139 (2007), 203-253) we obtain existence and approximation results for closed complex subvarieties that are normalized by…
The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, we provide a simple and pedagogical discussion of how compactifications of M-theory or supergravity preserving some four-dimensional supersymmetry naturally lead to reduced holonomy or its…
The harmonicity condition of the curvature 2-form of a pseudo- Riemannian manifold is formulated on the basis of annulment of this form by the de Rham-Lichnerowicz Laplacian. The following theorem is proved: The curvature 2-form of any…
In this paper we study *-Conformal {\eta}-Ricci soliton on Sasakian manifolds. Here, we discuss some curvature properties on Sasakian manifold admitting *-Conformal {\eta}-Ricci soliton. We obtain some significant results on *-Conformal…
Consider the scaling invariant, sharp log entropy (functional) introduced by Weissler \cite{W:1} on noncompact manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. It can also be regarded as a sharpened version of Perelman's W entropy \cite{P:1} in…
We consider a problem of prescribing the partial Ricci curvature on a locally conformally flat manifold $(M^n, g)$ endowed with the complementary orthogonal distributions $D_1$ and $D_2$. We provide conditions for symmetric $(0,2)$-tensors…
We describe a rigidity phenomenon exhibited by the second Chern Ricci curvature of a Hermitian metric on a compact complex manifold. This yields a characterisation of second Chern Ricci-flat Hermitian metrics on several types of manifolds…
In this paper, we study some relationships existing between some particular mathematical structures: discrete surfaces coming from discrete topology and mathematical morphology, poset-based connected manifolds coming from discrete topology,…
A smooth closed manifold $M$ is called almost Ricci-flat if $$\inf_g||\textrm{Ric}_g||_\infty\cdot \textrm{diam}_g(M)^2=0$$ where $\textrm{Ric}_g$ and $\textrm{diam}_g$ denote the Ricci tensor and the diameter of $g$ respectively and $g$…
We provide sufficient conditions for the Lojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality to hold on a submanifold of a Banach space and discuss the optimality of our assumptions. Our result provides a tool to study asymptotic properties of…
Two approaches to Lipschitz structures for any set are presented, studied and compared. The first approach is similar to the one proposed in Fraser, Jr. R. B., Axiom systems for Lipschitz structures, Fundamenta Mathematicae, (1970), where…
