We prove a persistence result for noncompact normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds in Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry. The bounded geometry of the ambient manifold is a crucial assumption in order to control the uniformity of all…

We develop the notion of higher Cheeger constants for a measurable set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$. By the $k$-th Cheeger constant we mean the value \[h_k(\Omega) = \inf \max \{h_1(E_1), \dots, h_1(E_k)\},\] where the infimum is taken…

The large-scale geometry of hyperbolic metric spaces exhibits many distinctive features, such as the stability of quasi-geodesics (the Morse Lemma), the visibility property, and the homeomorphism between visual boundaries induced by a…

We give a new proof of an isoperimetric inequality for a family of closed surfaces, which have Gaussian curvature identically equal to one wherever the surface is smooth. These surfaces are formed from a convex, spherical polygon, with each…

In this paper, we prove an isoperimetric inequality for lower order eigenvalues of the free membrane problem on bounded domains of a Euclidean space or a hyperbolic space which strengthens the well-known Szeg\"o-Weinberger inequality and…

Houdr\'e and Tetali defined a class of isoperimetric constants $\varphi_p$ of graphs for $0 \leq p \leq 1$, and conjectured a Cheeger-type inequality for $\varphi_\frac12$ of the form $$\lambda_2 \lesssim \varphi_\frac12 \lesssim…

We prove some sharp isoperimetric type inequalities for domains with smooth boundary on Riemannian manifolds. For example, using generalized convexity, we show that among all domains with a lower bound $l$ for the cut distance and Ricci…

We prove rigidity results involving the Hawking mass for surfaces immersed in a $3$-dimensional, complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with non-negative scalar curvature (resp. with scalar curvature bounded below by $-6$). Roughly, the main…

Initiated by the work of Uhlenbeck in late 1970s, we study questions about the existence, multiplicity and asymptotic behavior for minimal immersions of closed surface in some hyperbolic three-manifold, with prescribed conformal structure…

In this paper we first prove some linear isoperimetric inequalities for submanifolds in the de Sitter-Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrom manifolds. Moreover, the equality is attained. Next, we prove some monotonicity formulas for…

Let $Q_{n}^{r}$ be the graph with vertex set $\{-1,1\}^{n}$ in which two vertices are joined if their Hamming distance is at most $r$. The edge-isoperimetric problem for $Q_{n}^{r}$ is that: For every $(n,r,M)$ such that $1\le r\le n$ and…

In this note, we investigate the existence of smooth complete hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space with constant $(n-2)$-curvature and a prescribed asymptotic boundary at infinity. Previously, the existence was known only for a restricted…

For any subgraph of a graph, the Laplacian with Neumann boundary condition was introduced by Chung and Yau [CY94]. In this paper, motivated by the Riemannian case, we introduce the Cheeger constants for Neumann problems and prove…

The goal of this work is to give new quantitative results about the distribution of semi-arithmetic hyperbolic surfaces in the moduli space of closed hyperbolic surfaces. We show that two coverings of genus $g$ of a fixed arithmetic surface…

The pants graph has proved to be influential in understanding 3-manifolds concretely. This stems from a quasi-isometry between the pants graph and the Teichm\"uller space with the Weil-Petersson metric. Currently, all estimates on the…

We study the local Szeg\"o-Weinberger profile in a geodesic ball $B_g(y_0,r_0)$ centered at a point $y_0$ in a Riemannian manifold $(\M,g)$. This profile is obtained by maximizing the first nontrivial Neumann eigenvalue $\mu_2$ of the…

This note is a contribution to large scale geometry. More precisely, we introduce the intrinsically quasi-isometric sections in metric spaces and we investigate their properties: the Ahlfors-David regularity in large scale; following…

In this article, we will study the isoperimetric problem by introducing a mean curvature type flow in the Riemannian manifold endowed with a non-trivial conformal vector field. This flow preserves the volume of the bounded domain enclosed…

For each $g \ge 2$, we prove existence of a computable constant $\epsilon(g) > 0$ such that if $S$ is a strongly irreducible Heegaard surface of genus $g$ in a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ and $\gamma$ is a simple geodesic of length…
