This is a survey on known results and open problems about Smooth and PL-Rigidity Problem for negatively curved locally symmetric spaces. We also review some developments about studying the basic topological properties of the space of…

We use functions of a bicomplex variable to unify the existing constructions of harmonic morphisms from a 3-dimensional Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean space to a Riemannian or Lorentzian surface. This is done by using the notion of…

This paper is a study of harmonic maps from Riemannian polyhedra to (locally) non-positively curved geodesic spaces in the sense of Alexandrov. We prove Liouville-type theorems for subharmonic functions and harmonic maps under two different…

Square contingency tables are traditionally analyzed with a focus on the symmetric structure of the corresponding probability tables. We view probability tables as elements of a simplex equipped with the Aitchison geometry. This perspective…

We classify the holomorphic parabolic geometries on compact complex manifolds of general type. We accomplish this by bounding the numerical dimension of any smooth projective variety in terms of geometric invariants of the flag variety…

Hermitian symmetric manifolds are Hermitian manifolds which are homogeneous and such that every point has a symmetry preserving the Hermitian structure. The aim of these notes is to present an introduction to this important class of…

We construct a parabolic entire minimal graph $S$ over a finite topology complete Riemannian surface $\Sigma$ of curvature $-1$ and infinite area (thus of non-parabolic conformal type). The vertical projection of this graph yields a…

In this article, we study Conformal pointwise-slant Riemannian maps (\textit{CPSRM}) from or to K\"{a}hler manifolds to or from Riemannian manifolds. To check the existence of such maps, we provide some non-trivial examples. We derive some…

This work deals with relations between a bounded cohomological invariant and the geometry of Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type. The invariant, obtained from the K\"ahler class, is used to define and characterize a special class…

We prove an integral formula for the spherical measure of hypersurfaces in equiregular sub-Riemannian manifolds. Among various technical tools, we establish a general criterion for the uniform convergence of parametrized sub-Riemannian…

We study quasi-isometric embeddings of symmetric spaces and non-uniform irreducible lattices in semisimple higher rank Lie groups. We show that any quasi-isometric embedding between symmetric spaces of the same rank can be decomposed into a…

We construct harmonic Riemannian submersions that are retractions from symmetric spaces of noncompact type onto their rank-one totally geodesic subspaces. Among the consequences, we prove the existence of a non-constant, globally defined…

In this survey, symmetry provides a framework for classification of manifolds with differential-geometric structures. We highlight pseudo-Riemannian metrics, conformal structures, and projective structures. A range of techniques have been…

In this note, we outline the general development of a theory of symmetric homology of algebras, an analog of cyclic homology where the cyclic groups are replaced by symmetric groups. This theory is developed using the framework of crossed…

A geometric picture of conformally invariant mechanics is presented. Although the standard form of the model is recovered, the careful analysis of global geometry of phase space leads to the conclusion that, in the attractive case, the…

We study the complete conformal geometry of shear-free spacetimes with spherical symmetry and do not specify the form of the matter content. The general conformal Killing symmetry is solved and we can explicitly exhibit the vector. The…

We prove that any conformally flat submanifold with flat normal bundle in a conformally flat Riemannian manifold is locally holonomic, that is, admits a principal coordinate system. As one of the consequences of this fact, it is shown that…
