In this paper we prove two theorems. The first one is a structure result that describes the extrinsic geometry of an embedded surface with constant mean curvature (possibly zero) in a homogeneously regular Riemannian three-manifold, in any…

We consider the nonlinear problem of determining a connection and a Higgs field from the corresponding parallel transport along geodesics on a Riemannian manifold with boundary, in any dimension. The problem can be reduced to an integral…

We illustrate the general point of view developed in [SIAM J. Math. Anal., 51(6), 4356-4381] that can be described as a variation of Helgason's theory of dual $G$-homogeneous pairs $(X,\Xi)$ and which allows us to prove intertwining…

We first give a constructive answer to the attenuated tensor tomography problem on simple surfaces. We then use this result to propose two approaches to produce vector-valued integral transforms which are fully injective over tensor fields.…

We prove that some symetric semi-riemannian manifolds do not admit a proper domain which is divisible by the action of a discrete group of isometries. In other words, if a closed semi-riemannian manifold is locally isometric to such a…

In this note, we will show that if a measured Gromov-Hausdorff limit space of a sequence of Riemannian manifolds with lower Ricci curvature bound contains a 2-regular point which lies in the interior of a geodesic, then it is 2-rectifiable.…

We consider the inverse problem of recovering a potential from the Dirichlet to Neumann map at a large fixed frequency on certain Riemannian manifolds. We extend the earlier result of [G. Uhlmann and Y. Wang, arXiv:2104.03477] to the case…
