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…

Curvature properties of a metric connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion are investigated. It is shown that if either the 3-form $T$ is harmonic, $dT=\delta T=0$ or the curvature of the torsion connection $R\in S^2\Lambda^2$ then the…

Consider two quantum graphs with the standard Laplace operator and non-Robin type boundary conditions at all vertices. We show that if their eigenvalue-spectra agree everywhere aside from a sufficiently sparse set, then the…

We study wave maps from the circle to a general compact Riemannian manifold. We prove that the global controllability of this geometric equation is characterized precisely by the homotopy class of the data. As a remarkable intermediate…

We generalize the notion of trace to the Kontsevich quantization algebra and show that for all Poisson manifolds representable by quotients of a symplectic manifold by a Hamiltonian action of a nilpotent Lie group, the trace is given by…

In this note we discuss how several results characterizing the qualitative behavior of solutions to the nonlinear Poisson equation can be generalized to harmonic maps with potential between complete Riemannian manifolds. This includes…

It is shown that on compact $Spin(7)$--manifold with exterior derivative of the Lee form lying in the Lie algebra $spin(7)$ the curvature $R$ of the $Spin(7)$--torsion connection $R\in S^2\Lambda^2$ with vanishing Ricci tensor if and only…

On compact Riemannian manifolds with a large isometry group we investigate the invariant spectrum of the ordinary Laplacian. For either a toric Kaehler metric, or a rotationally-symmetric metric on the sphere, we produce upper bounds for…

We study a Lorentzian version of the well-known Calder\'{o}n problem that is concerned with determination of lower order coefficients in a wave equation on a smooth Lorentzian manifold, given the associated Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. In the…

For $C^0$ generic continuous maps or homeomorphisms on compact Riemannian manifold, we prove that (1) the space of physical-like measures coincides with the set of invariant measures supported on chain recurrent classes, (2) every point in…

All spherically symmetric Riemannian metrics of constant scalar curvature in any dimension can be written down in a simple form using areal coordinates. All spherical metrics are conformally flat, so we search for the conformally flat…

In this thesis we deal with spectral invariants for polygons and closed orbisurfaces of constant Gaussian curvature. In each case our method is to study the heat kernel and the asymptotic expansion of the heat trace. First, we investigate…

We show that any generalised smooth distribution on a smooth manifold, possibly of non-constant rank, admits a Riemannian metric. Using such a metric, we attach a Laplace operator to any smooth distribution as such. When the underlying…

In this paper we introduce the concept of $(\varepsilon)$-almost paracontact manifolds, and in particular, of $(\varepsilon)$-para Sasakian manifolds. Several examples are presented. Some typical identities for curvature tensor and Ricci…

Let $-\lambda_j$ be the eigenvalues of the Laplace operator on the unit disk with Dirichlet conditions. The distribution $h(t) = \sum_j e^{i\sqrt\lambda_j t}$ is the trace of the solution operator of the wave equation on the disk. It is…

For rank 1 flat symmetric spaces, continuous orbital measures admit absolutely continuous convolution squares, except for Cartan type AI. Hence $L^1$-$L^2$ dichotomy for these spaces holds true in parallel to the compact and non-compact…

A classical theorem in conformal geometry states that on a manifold with non-positive Yamabe invariant, a smooth metric achieving the invariant must be Einstein. In this work, we extend it to the singular case and show that in all…

A Riemannian manifold is called Osserman (conformally Osserman, respectively), if the eigenvalues of the Jacobi operator of its curvature tensor (Weyl tensor, respectively) are constant on the unit tangent sphere at every point. Osserman…
