We obtain a sharp lower bound on the isoperimetric deficit of a general polygon in terms of the variance of its side lengths, the variance of its radii, and its deviation from being convex. Our technique involves a functional minimization…

In this note a notion of generalized topological entropy for arbitrary subsets of the space of all sequences in a compact topological space is introduced. It is shown that for a continuous map on a compact space the generalized topological…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. This paper is concerned with the set of scalar-flat metrics which are in the conformal class of g and have the boundary as a constant mean curvature hypersurface. We prove that this…

The infinitesimal symmetry algebra of any Cartan geometry has maximum dimension realized by the flat model, but often this dimension drops significantly when considering non-flat geometries, so a gap phenomenon arises. For general (regular,…

We establish central limit theorems for an action of a group G on a hyperbolic space X with respect to the counting measure on a Cayley graph of G. Our techniques allow us to remove the usual assumptions of properness and smoothness of the…

Inspired by Goette-Semmelmann \cite{GSSU2002}, we derive an estimate for the scalar curvature without a nonnegativity assumption on curvature operator. As an application, we show that, on an even dimensional closed manifold with nonzero…

We show that the space of min-max minimal hypersurfaces is non-compact when the manifold has an analytic metric of positive Ricci curvature and dimension $3\leq n+1\leq 7$. Furthermore, we show that bumpy metrics with positive Ricci…

We prove universal lower bounds for discrepancies (i.e. sizes of spectral gaps of averaging operators) of measure-preserving actions of a locally compact group on probability spaces. For example, a locally compact Hausdorff unimodular group…

For a complete noncompact connected Riemannian manifold with bounded geometry, we prove the existence of isoperimetric regions in a larger space obtained by adding finitely many limit manifolds at infinity. As one of many possible…

We investigate spectral properties of the Neumann Laplacian $\mathscr{A}_\varepsilon$ on a periodic unbounded domain $\Omega_\varepsilon$ depending on a small parameter $\varepsilon>0$. The domain $\Omega_\varepsilon$ is obtained by…

The Bogomolov Conjecture is a finiteness statement about algebraic points of small height on a smooth complete curve defined over a global field. We verify an effective form of the Bogomolov Conjecture for all curves of genus at most 4…

We show that any compact half-conformally flat manifold of negative type, with bounded $L^2$ energy, sufficiently small scalar curvature, and a non-collapsing assumption, has all betti numbers bounded. We show that this result is optimal…
