Let $(N,g)$ be an $n$-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold with nonempty boundary $\pt N$. Assume that the Ricci curvature of $N$ has a negative lower bound $Ric\geq -(n-1)c^2$ for some $c>0$, and the mean curvature of the boundary $\pt…

Given a closed connected manifold smoothly immersed in a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with nonnegative sectional curvature, we estimate the intrinsic diameter of the submanifold in terms of its mean curvature field integral. On…

For a convex domain $D$ bounded by the hypersurface $\partial D$ in a space of constant curvature we give sharp bounds on the width $R-r$ of a spherical shell with radii $R$ and $r$ that can enclose $\partial D$, provided that normal…

In this article, we study properly immersed complete noncompact submanifolds in a complete shrinking gradient Ricci soliton with weighted mean curvature vector bounded in norm. We prove that such a submanifold must have polynomial volume…

Hughston has shown that projective pure spinors can be used to construct massless solutions in higher dimensions, generalizing the four-dimensional twistor transform of Penrose. In any even (Euclidean) dimension d=2n, projective pure…

The fractal properties of four-dimensional Euclidean simplicial manifold generated by the dynamical triangulation are analyzed on the geodesic distance D between two vertices instead of the usual scale between two simplices. In order to…

We consider 3-dimensional hyperbolic cone-manifolds, singular along infinite lines, which are ``convex co-compact'' in a natural sense. We prove an infinitesimal rigidity statement when the angle around the singular lines is less than…

Expander graphs have been intensively studied in the last four decades. In recent years a high dimensional theory of expanders has emerged, and several variants have been studied. Among them stand out coboundary expansion and topological…

We present explicit constructions of centrally symmetric 2-neighborly d-dimensional polytopes with about 3^{d/2} = (1.73)^d vertices and of centrally symmetric k-neighborly d-polytopes with about 2^{c_k d} vertices where c_k=3/20 k^2 2^k.…

For any integer $n\geq 2$, we prove that for any large enough integer $d$, with large probability the injectivity radius of a random degree $d$ complex hypersurface in $\C P^n$ is larger than $d^{-\frac{1}2(3n+2)}$. Here the hypersurface is…

Let $A_1,A_2,...,A_n$ be the vertices of a polygon with unit perimeter, that is $\sum_{i=1}^n |A_i A_{i+1}|=1$. We derive various tight estimates on the minimum and maximum values of the sum of pairwise distances, and respectively sum of…

The polygon $P$ is small if its diameter equals one. When $n=2^s$, it is still an open problem to find the maximum perimeter or the maximum width of a small $n$-gon. Motivated by Bingane's series of works, we improve the lower bounds for…

Let $G$ be a connected bridgeless graph with domination number $\gamma$. The oriented diameter (strong diameter) of $G$ is the smallest integer $d$ for which $G$ admits a strong orientation with diameter (strong diameter) $d$. Kurz and…

We compute the value of the simplicial volume for closed, oriented Riemannian manifolds covered by $\mathbb{H}^{2}\times\mathbb{H}^{2}$ explicitly, thus in particular for products of closed hyperbolic surfaces. This gives the first exact…

We study the abelian sandpile growth model, where n particles are added at the origin on a stable background configuration in Z^d. Any site with at least 2d particles then topples by sending one particle to each neighbor. We find that with…

We consider the hypergraph Tur\'an problem of determining $\mathrm{ex}(n, S^d)$, the maximum number of facets in a $d$-dimensional simplicial complex on $n$ vertices that does not contain a simplicial $d$-sphere (a homeomorph of $S^d$) as a…

Let $M$ be the interior of a connected, oriented, compact manifold $V$ of dimension at least 2. If each path component of $\partial V$ has amenable fundamental group, then we prove that the simplicial volume of $M$ is equal to the relative…

In this paper, we prove the optimal volume growth for complete Riemannian manifolds $(M^n,g)$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature everywhere and bi-Ricci curvature bounded from below by $n-2$ outside a compact set when the dimension is less…

In this note, we give a characterization of immersed submanifolds of simply-connected space forms for which the quotient of the extrinsic diameter by the focal radius achieves the minimum possible value of $2$. They are essentially round…
