For a topological space $X$ we study continuous maps $f : X\to \mathbb R^m$ such that images of every pairwise distinct $k$ points are affinely (linearly) independent. Such maps are called affinely (linearly) $k$-regular embeddings. We…

In the article we study mappings of Carnot groups satisfy moduli inequalities. We prove that homeomorphisms satisfy the moduli inequalities ($Q$-homeomor\-phisms) with a locally integrable function $Q$ are Sobolev mappings. On this base in…

Given a compact manifold $N^n \subset \mathbb{R}^\nu$, $s \ge 1$ and $1 \le p < \infty$, we prove that the class of smooth maps on the cube with values into $N^n$ is strongly dense in the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s, p}(Q^m; N^n)$ when…

In this paper, we study some intrinsic characterization of conformally compact manifolds. We show that, if a complete Riemannian manifold admits an essential set and its curvature tends to -1 at infinity in certain rate, then it is…

In this short note we study nonexistence result of biharmonic maps from a complete Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature. Assume that $\phi:(M,g)\to (N, h)$ is a biharmonic map, where $(M, g)$…

Given compact Riemannian manifolds $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{N}$, a Riemannian covering $\pi : \smash{\widetilde{\mathcal{N}}} \to \mathcal{N}$ by a noncompact covering space $\smash{\widetilde{\mathcal{N}}}$, $1 < p < \infty$ and $0 < s…

Let $M$ and $N$ be compact smooth oriented Riemannian $n$-manifolds without boundary embedded in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Several problems about minimal distortion bending and morphing of $M$ to $N$ are posed. Cost functionals that measure…

Suppose that $M$ is a connected orientable $n$-dimensional manifold and $m>2n$. If $H^i(M,\R)=0$ for $i>0$, it is proved that for each $m$ there is a monomorphism $H^m(W_n,\on{O}(n))\to H^m_{\on{cont}}(\on{Diff}M,\R)$. If $M$ is closed and…

M. Gromov introduced the mean dimension for a continuous map in the late 1990's, which is an invariant under topological conjugacy. On the other hand, the notion of metric mean dimension for a dynamical system was introduced by…

By a result of John Ball (1981), a locally orientation preserving Sobolev map is almost everywhere globally invertible whenever its boundary values admit a homeomorphic extension. As shown here for any dimension, the conclusions of Ball's…

If $M$ is a compact smooth manifold and $X$ is a compact metric space, the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(M,X)$ is defined through an isometric embedding of $X$ into a Banach space. We prove that the answer to the question whether Lipschitz…

We consider minimal maps $f:M\to N$ between Riemannian manifolds $(M,\mathrm{g}_M)$ and $(N,\mathrm{g}_N)$, where $M$ is compact and where the sectional curvatures satisfy $\sec_N\le \sigma\le \sec_M$ for some $\sigma>0$. Under certain…

We use the equivariant $\mu$-bubbles technique to prove that for any compact manifold $M^n$ with non-empty boundary, $n\in\{3,5,6\}$, the Yamabe invariant of $M^n$ is positive if and only if the Yamabe invariant of $M^n\times S^1$ is…

The present paper is devoted to the study of mappings with finite distortion on Riemannian manifolds. Theorems on local behavior of generalized quasiisometries with unbounded characteristic of quasiconformality are obtained.

We show that homeomorphisms $f$ in ${\Bbb R}^n$, $n\geqslant3$, of finite distortion in the Orlicz--Sobolev classes $W^{1,\varphi}_{\rm loc}$ with a condition on $\varphi$ of the Calderon type and, in particular, in the Sobolev classes…

Given smooth manifolds $M_1,\ldots, M_n$ (which may have a boundary or corners), a smooth manifold $N$ modeled on locally convex spaces and $\alpha\in({\mathbb N}_0\cup\{\infty\})^n$, we consider the set $C^\alpha(M_1\times\cdots\times…

We prove that proper pseudo-holomorphic maps between strictly pseudoconvex regions in almost complex manifolds extend to the boundary. The key point is that the Jacobian is far from zero near the boundary, and the proof is mainly based on…

The approximation of Sobolev homeomorphisms by smooth diffeomorphisms is well understood in first-order spaces $W^{1,p}$, but remains largely open in the second-order space $W^{2,1}$ due to a fundamental tension between curvature control…

We give characterizations of the bounded subanalytic $\mathscr{C}^\infty$ submanifolds $M$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ for which the space of Neumann regular functions is dense in Sobolev spaces. By ``Neumann regular function'', we mean a function…

The aim of this paper is to prove two results concerning the rigidity of complete, immersed, orientable, stable minimal hypersurfaces: we show that they are hyperplane in $\mathbb{R}^4$, while they do not exist in positively curved closed…
