We consider a Lorentzian metric in $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^n$. We show that if we know the lengths of the space-time geodesics starting at $(0,y,\eta)$ when $t=0$, then we can recover the metric at $y$. We prove the rigidity of…

We approach the problem of finding obstructions to curvature distinguished Riemannian metrics by considering Lorentzian metrics to which they are dual in a suitable sense. Obstructions to the latter then yield obstructions to the former.…

We study model semilinear equations on complete and non-compact weighted Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature. Our main goal is to classify positive solutions of the equation at the Sobolev-critical exponent,…
