Let $h^{+}$ and $h^{-}$ be two complete, conformal metrics on the disc $\mathbb{D}$. Assume moreover that the derivatives of the conformal factors of the metrics $h^{+}$ and $h^{-}$ are bounded at any order with respect to the hyperbolic…
The celebrated Nash Embedding Theorem asserts that every closed Riemannian manifold can be isometrically embedded into a sufficiently high-dimensional Euclidean space. In this paper, we prove an analogous result in the conformally compact…
In this paper, we prove a rigidity result for three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with boundary, under the assumption that a free boundary minimal two-disk, which locally maximizes a modified Hawking mass, is embedded in a…
Let $\mathcal{E}$ be an asymptotically Euclidean end in an otherwise arbitrary complete and connected Riemannian spin manifold $(M,g)$. We show that if $\mathcal{E}$ has negative ADM-mass, then there exists a constant $R > 0$, depending…
We consider the problem of finding on a given Euclidean domain $\Omega$ of dimension $n \geq 3$ a complete conformally flat metric whose Schouten curvature $A$ satisfies some equation of the form $f(\lambda(-A)) = 1$. This generalizes a…
We define the notion of a Killing (super)algebra for a connection on a spinor bundle associated to a generalised spin structure on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of any signature. We are led naturally to include in the even subspace not only…
We find a class of (2+1)-dimensional spacetimes admitting Killing spinors appropriate to (2,0) adS-supergravity. The vacuum spacetimes include anti-de Sitter (adS) space and charged extreme black holes, but there are many others, including…
Let $(M, g)$ be a compact 3-manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature $R_g\geq 0$. The boundary $\partial M$ is diffeomorphic to the boundary of a rotationally symmetric and weakly convex body $\bar{M}$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We call…
We study the quasi-local masses arising in general relativity using spinors and prove their positivity property. This leads to the question of a pure quasi-local proof of the positivity of the Wang-Yau \cite{yau} quasi-local mass. More…
We study the geometric structure of Lorentzian spin manifolds, which admit imaginary Killing spinors. The discussion is based on the cone construction and a normal form classification of skew-adjoint operators in signature $(2,n-2)$.…
In this paper we provide new characterizations of the Gehring-Hayman theorem from the point of view of Gromov boundary and uniformity. We also determine the critical exponents for the uniformized space to be a uniform space in the case of…
In this paper we show that for Riemannian manifolds with boundary the natural restriction map is a quasifibration between spaces of metrics of positive scalar curvature. We apply this result to study homotopy properties of spaces of such…
We develop index theory on compact Riemannian spin manifolds with boundary in the case when the topological information is encoded by bundles which are supported away from the boundary. As a first application, we establish a "long neck…
Let $M$ be a Hadamard manifold with curvature bounded above by a negative constant $-\alpha$, satisfying the "strict convexity condition", and assume that $M$ admits a "helicoidal" one-parameter subgroup $G$ of isometries of $M$. Then,…
Let $\Gamma$ be a Gromov hyperbolic group, endowed with an arbitrary left-invariant hyperbolic metric, quasi-isometric to a word metric. The action of $\Gamma$ on its boundary $\partial\Gamma$ endowed with the Patterson-Sullivan measure…
Let $\Sigma$ be a $k$-dimensional complete proper minimal submanifold in the Poincar\'{e} ball model $B^n$ of hyperbolic geometry. If we consider $\Sigma$ as a subset of the unit ball $B^n$ in Euclidean space, we can measure the Euclidean…
We extend the classical theory of sphere theorems to the transverse geometry of Riemannian foliations. In this setting, we establish transverse analogues of the Grove-Shiohama diameter sphere theorem and of the Berger-Klingenberg…
We propose a new method to solve the Killing spinor equations of eleven-dimensional supergravity based on a description of spinors in terms of forms and on the Spin(1,10) gauge symmetry of the supercovariant derivative. We give the…
In this note we generalize the methods of [1][2][3] to 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds M. We study the relations between the geometry of M and the number of solutions to a generalized Killing spinor equation obtained from a 5-dimensional…
In this paper, we consider a connected orientable closed Riemannian manifold $M^{n+1}$ with positive Ricci curvature. Suppose $G$ is a compact Lie group acting by isometries on $M$ with $3\leq {\rm codim}(G\cdot p)\leq 7$ for all $p\in M$.…
