In this paper we introduce a notion of Poincar\'e exponent for isometric representations of discrete groups on Hilbert spaces. Similarly as growth exponents control the geometry this exponent is shown to control the size of spectral gaps.…

We show that an arithmetic function which satisfies some weak multiplicativity properties and in addition has a non-decreasing or $\log$-uniformly continuous normal order is close to a function of the form $n\mapsto n^c$. As an application…

The first three sections of this paper are a survey of the author's work on balanced metrics and stability notions in algebraic geometry. The last section is devoted to proving the well-known result that a geodesically convex function on a…

We give a simple construction of new, complete, finite volume manifolds $M$ of bounded, nonpositive curvature. These manifolds have ends that look like a mixture of locally symmetric ends of different ranks and their fundamental groups are…

The target space of the non-linear $\sigma$-model is a Riemannian manifold. Although it can be any Riemannian metric, there are certain physically interesting geometries which are worth to study. Here, we numerically evolve the…

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…

We consider a natural Riemannian metric on the infinite dimensional manifold of all embeddings from a manifold into a Riemannian manifold, and derive its geodesic equation in the case $\Emb(\Bbb R,\Bbb R)$ which turns out to be Burgers'…

We show that an enlargeable Riemannian metric on a (possibly nonspin) manifold cannot have uniformly positive scalar curvature. This extends a well-known result of Gromov and Lawson to the nonspin setting. We also prove that every…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold and $h$ a smooth function on $M$. Let $\rho^h(x)=\inf_{|v|=1}\left(Ric_x(v,v)-2Hess(h)_x(v,v) \right)$. Here $Ric_x$ denotes the Ricci curvature at $x$ and $Hess(h)$ is the Hessian of $h$. Then $M$…
