Given a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold $N^n$, we investigate whether the set of bounded Sobolev maps $(W^{1, p} \cap L^\infty) (Q^m; N^n)$ on the cube $Q^m$ is strongly dense in the Sobolev space $W^{1, p} (Q^m; N^n)$ for $1 \le p…

By using optimal mass transport theory we prove a sharp isoperimetric inequality in ${\sf CD} (0,N)$ metric measure spaces assuming an asymptotic volume growth at infinity. Our result extends recently proven isoperimetric inequalities for…

For a circle map $f\colon\mathbb{S}\to\mathbb{S}$ with zero topological entropy, we show that a non-diagonal pair $\langle x,y\rangle\in \mathbb{S}\times \mathbb{S}$ is non-separable if and only if it is an IN-pair if and only if it is an…

In this note we obtain the surjectivity of smooth maps into Euclidean spaces under mild conditions. As application we give a new proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. We also observe that any $C^1$-map from a compact manifold into…

We prove various inequalities measuring how far from an isometry a local map from a manifold of high curvature to a manifold of low curvature must be. We consider the cases of volume-preserving, conformal and quasi-conformal maps. The…

We show that complete conformally flat manifolds of dimension n>2 with nonnegative Ricci curvature enjoy nice rigidity properties: they are either flat, or locally isometric to a product of a sphere and a line, or are globally conformally…

In spaces of nonpositive curvature the existence of isometrically embedded flat (hyper)planes is often granted by apparently weaker conditions on large scales. We show that some such results remain valid for metric spaces with non-unique…

In [15] Robert Osserman proved that the image of the Gauss map of a complete, non flat minimal surface in R^3 with finite total curvature miss at most 3 points. In this paper we prove that the Gauss map of such a minimal immersions omit at…

We discuss the asymptotic behaviour of random critical Boltzmann planar maps in which the degree of a typical face belongs to the domain of attraction of a stable law with index $\alpha \in (1,2]$. We prove that when conditioning such maps…

We prove a splitting theorem for Riemannian n-manifolds with scalar curvature bounded below by a negative constant and containing certain area-minimising hypersurfaces (Theorem 3). Thus we generalise [25,Theorem 3] by Nunes. This splitting…

We prove that a class of asymptotically nonnegatively curved manifolds (in the sense of Abresch) satisfying some uniform Euclidean type volume growth conditions contains only finitely many homeomorphism types.

We prove a pair of sharp reverse isoperimetric inequalities for domains in nonpositively curved surfaces: (1) metric disks centered at the vertex of a Euclidean cone of angle at least $2\pi$ have minimal area among all nonpositively curved…

A classical result of A.D. Alexandrov states that a connected compact smooth $n-$dimensional manifold without boundary, embedded in $\Bbb R^{n+1}$, and such that its mean curvature is constant, is a sphere. Here we study the problem of…

We show that every cross ratio preserving homeomorphism between boundaries of Hadamard manifolds extends to a continuous map, called circumcenter extension, provided that the manifolds satisfy certain visibility conditions. We show that…

We study graphs with nonnegative Bakry-\'Emery curvature or Ollivier curvature outside a finite subset. For such a graph, via introducing the discrete Gromov-Hausdorff convergence we prove that the space of bounded harmonic functions is…

Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth connected Riemannian manifold. We show an improvement of flatness theorem for hypersurfaces of $M$ of bounded nonlocal mean curvature in the viscosity sense. It implies local $ C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of these…
