We prove that any translating soliton for the mean curvature flow which is noncollapsed and uniformly 2-convex must be the rotationally symmetric bowl soliton. In particular, this proves a conjecture of White and Wang, in the 2-convex case…

For an aspherical symplectic manifold, closed or with convex contact boundary, and with vanishing first Chern class, a Floer chain complex is defined for Hamiltonians linear at infinity with coefficients in the group ring of the fundamental…

We investigate asymptotically flat manifolds with cone structure at infinity. We show that any such manifold M has a finite number of ends. For simply connected ends we classify all possible cones at infinity, except for the 4-dimensional…

In this article we prove two non-existence results for translating solitons of the mean curvature flow (translators for short) in $\mathbb{R}^{m+1}$. We also obtain an upper bound to the maximum height that a compact embedded translator in…

Let R be a normal, equi-codimensional Cohen-Macaulay ring of dimension $d\geq 2$ with a canonical module. We give a sufficient criterion that establishes a derived equivalence between the noncommutative crepant resolutions of R. When $d\leq…

We establish sufficient conditions which ensure that a locally-warped product structure propagates backward in time under the Ricci flow. As an application, we prove that if an asymptotically conical gradient shrinking soliton is asymptotic…

We investigate stable homology of modules over a commutative noetherian ring $R$ with respect to a semidualzing module $C$, and give some vanishing results that improve/extend the known results. As a consequence, we show that the balance of…

For any 3D steady gradient Ricci soliton with positive curvature, we prove that it must be isometric to the Bryant soliton if it is asymptotic to a ray. Otherwise, it is asymptotic to a sector and hence a flying wing. We show that all 3D…

We show that an expanding gradient Ricci solitons which is asymptotic to a cone at infinity in a certain sense must be rotationally symmetric.

We study orbits and reachable sets of generic couples of Hamiltonians $H_1, H_2$ on a symplectic manifold $N$. We prove that, $C^k$-generically for $k$ large enough, orbits coincide with the whole of $N$, and that the same is true for…

In this note we provide a quasisymmetric taming of uniformly perfect and uniformly disconnected sets that generalizes a result of MacManus from 2 to higher dimensions. In particular, we show that a compact subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is…

Any nontrivial homomorphism from the mapping class group of an orientable surface of genus $g\geq 3$ to $\GL(2g,\C)$ is conjugate to the standard symplectic representation. It is also shown that the mapping class group has no faithful…

A centrally symmetric convex body is a convex compact set with non-empty interior that is symmetric about the origin. Of particular interest are those that are both smooth and strictly convex -- known here as regular symmetric bodies --…

We prove the existence of a one-parameter family of pairwise non-isometric, complete, positively curved, steady generalized Ricci solitons of gradient type on $\mathbb{R}^3$ that are invariant under the natural cohomogeneity one action of…

We show that the cylinder Z^{2n}(1):= B^2(1)\times \mathbb{R}^{2(n-1)} embeds symplectically into B^4(R) \times \mathbb{R}^{2(n-2)} if R \geq \sqrt{3}.

Homogeneous compatible almost complex structures on symplectic manifolds are studied, focusing on those which are special, meaning that their Chern-Ricci form is a multiple of the symplectic form. Non Chern-Ricci flat ones are proven to be…

In this paper, we will give a $C^{1,\beta}$-regularity result on the boundary for two dimensional sliding almost minimal sets in $\mathbb{R}^3$. This effect may lead to the existence of a solution to the Plateau problem with sliding…

In this paper, we establish nonexistence results for complete translating solitons of the r-mean curvature flow under suitable growth conditions on the (r-1)-mean curvature and on the norm of the second fundamental form. We first show that…

We consider constant mean curvature surfaces of finite topology, properly embedded in three-space in the sense of Alexandrov. Such surfaces with three ends and genus zero were constructed and completely classified by the authors in…

We show that symplectic forms taming complex structures on compact manifolds are related to special types of almost generalized K\"ahler structures. By considering the commutator $Q$ of the two associated almost complex structures…
