This paper studies the self-dual Einstein-Dirac theory. A generalization is obtained of the Jacobson-Smolin proof of the equivalence between the self-dual and Palatini purely gravitational actions. Hence one proves equivalence of self-dual…

An early result of Noncommutative Geometry was Connes' observation in the 1980's that the Dirac-Dolbeault cycle for the $2$-torus $\mathbb{T}^2$, which induces a Poincar\'e self-duality for $\mathbb{T}^2$, can be 'quantized' to give a…

We consider strictly convex hypersurfaces with the boundary which meets a strictly convex cone perpendicularly. We prove that if these hypersurfaces expand inside this cone, driven by the power of the Gauss curvature, then the evolution…

We prove a general theorem establishing the bispectrality of noncommutative Darboux transformations. It has a wide range of applications that establish bispectrality of such transformations for differential, difference and q-difference…

We present a novel finite-matrix formulation of gauge theories on a non-commutative torus. Unlike the previous formulation based on a map from a square matrix to a field on a discretized torus with periodic boundary conditions, our…

We extend the results of Riemannian geometry over finite groups and provide a full classification of all linear connections for the minimal noncommutative differential calculus over a finite cyclic group. We solve the torsion-free and…

The classical and quantum aspects of the Schwinger model on the torus are considered. First we find explicitly all zero modes of the Dirac operator in the topological sectors with nontrivial Chern index and is spectrum. In the second part…

In this paper, it is shown that some of the results of torus actions on Poincar\'{e} duality spaces, Borel's dimension formula and topological splitting principle to local weights, hold if `torus' is replaced by `pro-torus'.

We propose a systematic scheme for computing the variation of rearrangement operators arising in the recently developed spectral geometry on noncommutative tori and $\theta$-deformed Riemannian manifolds. It can be summarized as a category…

We present a geometric proof of the Poincar\'e-Dulac Normalization Theorem for analytic vector fields with singularities of Poincar\'e type. Our approach allows us to relate the size of the convergence domain of the linearizing…

In a 2013 paper, Gromov proves that if smooth Riemannian metrics $g_i$ converge to a smooth Riemannian metric $g$ uniformly, and $g_i$ have scalar curvature uniformly bounded below, then $g$ shares the same scalar curvature lower bound. In…

The goal of this paper is to describe Zermelo's navigation problem on Riemannian manifolds as a time-optimal control problem and give an efficient method in order to evaluate its control curvature. We will show that up to change the…

A classical result in differential geometry due to Lichnerowicz [8] is concerned with the decomposition of the square of Dirac operators defined by Clifford connections on a Clifford module ${\cal E}$\ over a Riemannian manifold $M$.…

For spacelike stationary (i.e. zero mean curvature) surfaces in 4-dimensional Lorentz space one can naturally introduce two Gauss maps and Weierstrass representation. In this paper we investigate their global geometry systematically. The…

We study the Dirac and the Laplacian operators on orientable Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus g. In particular we compute their determinants with twisted boundary conditions along the b-cycles. All the ingredients of the final results…

Using polar convex bodies and the $C_0$-bounds from Guan and Ni \cite{PL}, we obtain a uniform lower bound on the Gauss curvature of the normalized solution of the Gauss curvature flow without using Chow's Harnack inequality \cite{Ch2}.

It is known that under some transversality and curvature assumptions on the hypersurfaces involved, the bilinear restriction estimate holds true with better exponents than what would trivially follow from the corresponding linear estimates.…

We show that in the context of two-dimensional sigma models minimal coupling of an ordinary rigid symmetry Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ leads naturally to the appearance of the "generalized tangent bundle" $\mathbb{T}M \equiv TM \oplus T^*M$…

The notion of a generalized harmonic inverse mean curvature surface in the Euclidean four-space is introduced. A backward B\"{a}cklund transform of a generalized harmonic inverse mean curvature surface is defined. A Darboux transform of a…
