Given a compact, connected, and oriented manifold with boundary $M$ and a sequence of smooth Riemannian metrics defined on it, $g_j$, we prove volume preserving intrinsic flat convergence of the sequence to the smooth Riemannian metric…

We consider sequences of compact Riemannian manifolds with uniform Sobolev bounds on their metric tensors, and prove that their distance functions are uniformly bounded in the H\"{o}lder sense. This is done by establishing a general trace…

We consider uniformly semi-locally 1-connected sequences of closed connected Riemannian 2-manifolds. In particular, we assume that the manifolds are homeomorphic to each other and that their total absolute curvature is uniformly bounded.…

The purpose of this report is to acknowledge the influence of M. Gromov's vision of geometry on our own works. It is two-fold: in the first part we aim at describing some results, in dimension 3, around the question: which open 3-manifolds…

Inspired by the Gromov-Hausdorff distance, we define the intrinsic flat distance between oriented $m$ dimensional Riemannian manifolds with boundary by isometrically embedding the manifolds into a common metric space, measuring the flat…

In this paper we produce a sequence of Riemannian manifolds $M_j^m$, $m \ge 2$, which converge in the intrinsic flat sense to the unit $m$-sphere with the restricted Euclidean distance. This limit space has no geodesics achieving the…

Is a sequence of Riemannian manifolds with positive scalar curvature, satisfying some conditions to keep the sequence reasonable, compact? What topology should one use for the convergence and what is the regularity of the limit space? In…

Comparison theorems are foundational to our understanding of the geometric features implied by various curvature constraints. This paper considers manifolds with a positive lower bound on either scalar, 2-Ricci, or Ricci curvature, and…

We explore the distinctions between $L^p$ convergence of metric tensors on a fixed Riemannian manifold versus Gromov-Hausdorff, uniform, and intrinsic flat convergence of the corresponding sequence of metric spaces. We provide a number of…
