The embedding theorem arises in several problems from analysis and geometry. The purpose of this paper is to provide a deeper understanding of analysis and geometry with a particular focus on embedding theorems on spaces of homogeneous type…

We study the existence of proper holomorphic embeddings of bordered Riemann surfaces into the complex plane C^2. Denote by M(R) the moduli space consisting of all equivalence classes of complex structures J on a given smooth oriented…

We classify compact 2-connected homogeneous spaces with the same rational cohomology as a product of spheres. This classification relies on spectral sequences, homotopy theory, and representation theory. We then apply this classification to…

It is well known that plane curves with the same endpoints are homotopic. An analogous claim for plane curves with the same endpoints and bounded curvature still remains open. In this work we find necessary and sufficient conditions for two…

A classical result of Sampson and Schoen-Yau in 1978 states that every diffeomorphism between compact hyperbolic Riemann surfaces is homotopic to an harmonic diffeomorphism. As conjectured by Schoen in 1993 and partially proved by Wan in…

We provide a short proof for the theorem that two compact Riemannian manifolds are isomorphic if and only there exists an order isomorphism which intertwines between the heat semigroups on the manifolds.

We show that two hypersurfaces in a manifold are related by a sequence of embedded cobordisms if and only if they represent the same homology class. By applying handle decompositions we turn these cobordisms into a sequence of embedded…

This paper develops new tools for understanding surfaces with more than one end (and usually, of infinite topology) which properly minimally embed into Euclidean three-space. On such a surface, the set of ends forms a compact Hausdorff…

We prove that there exist infinitely many embedded tori with a common geometric dual in $T^4\#(S^2\times S^2)$ that are homotopic, diffeomorphic, but not isotopic to each other, even after arbitrary many external stabilizations. These…

This paper is the second in a series exploring the properties of a functor which assigns a homotopy double groupoid with connections to a Hausdorff space. We show that this functor satisfies a version of the van Kampen theorem, and so is a…

We study the moduli space of congruence classes of isometric surfaces with the same mean curvature in 4-dimensional space forms. Having the same mean curvature means that there exists a parallel vector bundle isometry between the normal…

Two planar embedded circle patterns with the same combinatorics and the same intersection angles can be considered to define a discrete conformal map. We show that two locally finite circle patterns covering the unit disc are related by a…

Let $f$ be a harmonic map from a Riemann surface to a Riemannian $n$-manifold. We prove that if there is a holomorphic diffeomorphism $h$ between open subsets of the surface such that $f\circ h = f$, then $f$ factors through a holomorphic…

We prove the nonexistence of stable immersed minimal surfaces uniformly conformally equivalent to the complex plane in any complete orientable four-dimensional Riemannian manifold with uniformly positive isotropic curvature. We also…

We prove a result on equivariant deformations of flat bundles, and as a corollary, we obtain two ``splitting in a finite cover'' theorems for isometric group actions on Riemannian manifolds with infinite fundamental groups, where the…

Hypersurfaces embedded in conformal manifolds appear frequently as boundary data in boundary-value problems in cosmology and string theory. Viewed as the non-null conformal infinity of a spacetime, we consider hypersurfaces embedded in a…

We show that all Lagrangian submanifolds of the cotangent bundle of a Riemann surface which are homotopic to the zero section must be smoothly isotopic to the zero section.

We present an alternative proof of the Coisotropic Embedding Theorem in which the geometric choice of a connection is recast as the algebraic choice of an embedding into the cotangent bundle. The symplectic thickening is then identified as…

In this paper we study the smooth moduli space of closed Riemann surfaces. This smooth moduli is an infinite cover of the usual moduli space $\mathscr{M}_g$ of closed Riemann surfaces, and is identified with the Schottky space of rank $g.$…
