We construct a topology on the class of pointed proper quantum metric spaces which generalizes the topology of the Gromov-Hausdorff distance on proper metric spaces, and the topology of the dual propinquity on Leibniz quantum compact metric…

We establish Lipschitz regularity of harmonic maps from $\mathrm{RCD}(K,N)$ metric measure spaces with lower Ricci curvature bounds and dimension upper bounds in synthetic sense with values into $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ metric spaces with…

In this note, we answer positively a question by Belegradek and Kapovitch about the relation between rational homotopy theory and a problem in Riemannian geometry which asks that total spaces of which vector bundles over compact nonnegative…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a Lipschitz map $f:\mathbb{R}E\to X$, into a metric space to have the image with the $k$-dimensional Hausdorff measure equal zero, $H^k(f(E))=0$. An interesting feature of our approach is that…

Let $M$ be a closed smooth connected spin manifold of even dimension $n$, let $g$ be a Riemannian metric of regularity $W^{1,p}$, $p > n$, on $M$ whose distributional scalar curvature in the sense of Lee-LeFloch is bounded below by…

In this paper, we show that for finite $CW$-complexes $X$ and two-stage space $Y$ (for example $n$-spheres $S^n$, homogeneous spaces and $F_0$-spaces), the rational homotopy type of $\map(X, Y)$ is determined by the cohomology algebra…

In this paper, we introduce a new energy density function $\mathscr Y$ on the projective bundle $\mathbb{P}(T_M)\>M$ for a smooth map $f:(M,h)\>(N,g)$ between Riemannian manifolds $$\mathscr Y=g_{ij}f^i_\alpha f^j_\beta \frac{W^\alpha…

This paper gives a uniform-theoretic refinement of classical homotopy theory. Both cubical sets (with connections) and uniform spaces admit classes of weak equivalences, special cases of classical weak equivalences, appropriate for the…

Let $f:G_{n,k}\longrightarrow G_{m,l}$ be any continuous map between any two distinct complex Grassmann manifolds of the same dimension where the target is not the complex projective space. We show that, for any given $k,l$, the degree of…

Although the Nash theorem solves the isometric embedding problem, matters are inherently more involved if one is further seeking an embedding that is well-behaved from the standpoint of submanifold geometry. More generally, consider a…

We construct a smooth compact n-dimensional manifold Y with one point singularity such that all its Lipschitz homotopy groups are trivial, but Lipschitz mappings Lip(S^n,Y) are not dense in the Sobolev space W^{1,n}(S^n,Y). On the other…

We solve two main questions on linear structures of (non-)norm-attaining Lipschitz functions. First, we show that for every infinite metric space $M$, the set consisting of Lipschitz functions on $M$ which do not strongly attain their norm…

We study the existence of Riemannian metrics with zero topological entropy on a closed manifold M with infinite fundamental group. We show that such a metric does not exist if there is a finite simply connected CW complex which maps to M in…

We show that the Lipschitz-Free Space over a connected orientable $n$-di\-men\-sio\-nal Riemannian manifold $M$ is isometrically isomorphic to a quotient of $L^1(M,TM)$, the integrable sections of the tangent bundle $TM$, if $M$ is either…

We first show that, for a fixed locally compact manifold $N,$ the space $L^2(S^1,N)$ has not the homotopy type odf the classical loop space $C^\infty(S^1,N),$ by two theorems: - the inclusion $C^\infty(S^1,N) \subset L^2(S^1,N)$ is null…

This article studies typical 1-Lipschitz images of $n$-rectifiable metric spaces $E$ into $\mathbb{R}^m$ for $m\geq n$. For example, if $E\subset \mathbb{R}^k$, we show that the Jacobian of such a typical 1-Lipschitz map equals 1…

Suppose that $f$ satisfies the following: $(1)$ the polyharmonic equation $\Delta^{m}f=\Delta(\Delta^{m-1} f)$$=\varphi_{m}$ $(\varphi_{m}\in \mathcal{C}(\overline{\mathbb{B}^{n}},\mathbb{R}^{n}))$, (2) the boundary conditions…

Let $M$ be a smooth, compact, connected, oriented Riemannian manifold, and let $\imath: M \to \mathbb R^d$ be an isometric embedding. We show that a Sobolev map $f: M \to M$ which has the property that the differential $df(q)$ is close to…

In this paper we study the minimal and maximal $L^{2}$-cohomology of oriented, possibly not complete, Riemannian manifolds. Our focus will be on both the reduced and the unreduced $L^{2}$-cohomology groups. In particular we will prove that…

We prove that for any two closed Riemannian manifolds $M^{2m}$ ($m\geq 1$) and $N$, there exists a minimizing (extrinsic) $m$-polyharmonic map for every free homotopy class in $[M^{2m}, N]$, provided that the homotopy group $\pi_{2m}(N)$ is…
