We prove generalizations of the isoperimetric inequality for both spherical and hyperbolic wave fronts (i.e. piecewise smooth curves which may have cusps). We then discuss "bicycle curves" using the generalized isoperimetric inequalities.…

In this paper we develop the theory of Willmore sequences for Willmore surfaces in the 4-sphere. We show that under appropriate conditions this sequence has to terminate. In this case the Willmore surface either is the twistor projection of…

The focal submanifolds of isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres are all minimal Willmore submanifolds, mostly being $\mathcal{A}$-manifolds in the sense of A.Gray but rarely Ricci-parallel (\cite{QTY},\cite{LY},\cite{TY3}). In this paper…

We study isoperimetric inequalities on "slabs", namely weighted Riemannian manifolds obtained as the product of the uniform measure on a finite length interval with a codimension-one base. As our two main applications, we consider the case…

We show that on simple surfaces the geodesic ray transform acting on solenoidal symmetric tensor fields of arbitrary order is injective. This solves a long standing inverse problem in the two-dimensional case.

The Solomon-Tits theorem says that the poset of proper non-trivial subspaces of a finite-dimensional vector space has realisation equivalent to a wedge of spheres. In this paper we prove a variant of this result for collections of geodesic…

We study a class of fourth-order geometric problems modelling Willmore surfaces, conformally constrained Willmore surfaces, isoperimetrically constrained Willmore surfaces, bi-harmonic surfaces in the sense of Chen, among others. We prove…

Gromov's isoperimetric gap conjecture for Hadamard spaces states that cycles in dimensions greater than or equal to the asymptotic rank admit linear isoperimetric filling inequalities, as opposed to the inequalities of Euclidean type in…

We study Riemannian metrics on surfaces whose geodesic flows are superintegrable with one integral linear in momenta and one integral quartic in momenta. The main results of the work are local description of such metrics in terms of…

We prove the existence of a non-linear recursive relation for the volume of the moduli space of hyperbolic spheres with conical points or geodesic boundaries. This relation generalizes a result by Zograf, where the same was derived for…

We determine the condition on a given lens space having a realization as a closure of homology cobordism over a planar surface with a given number of boundary components. As a corollary, we see that every lens space is represented as a…

The isoperimetric problem asks for the maximum area of a region of given perimeter. It is natural to consider other measurements of a region, such as the diameter and width, and ask for the extreme value of one when another is fixed. The…

In this paper, two sequences of minimal isoparametric hypersurfaces are constructed via representations of Clifford algebras. Based on these, we give estimates on eigenvalues of the Laplacian of the focal submanifolds of isoparametric…

Let G be a k-step Carnot group. We prove an isoperimetric-type inequality for compact C^2-smooth immersed hypersurfaces with boundary, involving the horizontal mean curvature of the hypersurface. This generalizes an inequality due to…

For real projective spaces, (a) the Euclidean immersion dimension, (b) the existence of axial maps, and (c) the topological complexity are known to be three facets of the same problem. But when it comes to embedding dimension, the classical…
