We study curved isotropic cosmologies filled with two interacting fluids near their time singularities. We find that a number of these universes asymptote to flat limits in the sense that their asymptotic properties become indistinguishable…
In this paper we prove a global existence theorem, in the direction of cosmological expansion, for sufficiently small perturbations of a family of spatially compact variants of the $k=-1$ Friedmann--Robertson--Walker vacuum spacetime. We…
We study grassmannians associated with a linear space with a nondegenerate hermitian form. The geometry of these grassmannians allows us to explain the relation between a (pseudo-)riemannian projective geometry and the conformal structure…
In the theory of finite type submanifolds, null 2-type submanifolds are the most simple ones, besides 1-type submanifolds (cf. e.g., [3, 12]). In particular, the classification problems of null 2-type hypersurfaces are quite interesting and…
In this paper we first introduce the full expression of the curvature tensor of a real hypersurface $M$ in complex hyperbolic two-plane Grassmannians $SU_{2,m}/S(U_2{\cdot}U_m)$, $m{\ge}2$ from the equation of Gauss. Next we derive a new…
We show that we can combine the (complex, self-dual) BMS vector fields with the recently defined BMS twistors to obtain a new supersymmetric extension of the BMS symmetries at null infinity. We compare our construction to other…
We give a complete classification of umbilical submanifolds of arbitrary dimension and codimension of $\Sf^n\times \R$, extending the classification of umbilical surfaces in $\Sf^2\times \R$ by Rabah-Souam and Toubiana as well as the local…
We prove a conjecture of Toponogov on complete convex planes, namely that such planes must contain an umbilic point, albeit at infinity. Our proof is indirect. It uses Fredholm regularity of an associated Riemann-Hilbert boundary value…
We introduce the totally absolute lightcone curvature for a spacelike submanifold with general codimension and investigate global properties of this curvature. One of the consequences is that the Chern-Lashof type inequality holds. Then the…
In this work, a method for constructing null foliations of spacetime is presented. This method is used to specify equivalence classes of null generators, whose representatives can be associated lightlike co-normals that are locally affine…
We study the topology of (properly) immersed complete minimal surfaces $P^2$ in Hyperbolic and Euclidean spaces which have finite total extrinsic curvature, using some isoperimetric inequalities satisfied by the extrinsic balls in these…
We proved that any complete hypersurface in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ whose Gauss image is contained in an open hemisphere has to be proper. As applications, we derive a counterpart of Hoffman-Osserman-Schoen's result for…
We study the foliation space of complex and invariant (by torsion of intrinsic Hermitian connection) umbilic distribution on an isometric immersion from a nearly K\"ahler manifold $M$ into the Euclidean space. Under suitable conditions this…
In this paper, we show the fundamental theorems for rotationally symmetric hypersurfaces, and thus, together with the earlier results in [3] and [4], provide a complete classification of umbilic hypersurfaces in the Heisenberg groups…
We define a complex connection on a real hypersurface of $\C^{n+1}$ which is naturally inherited from the ambient space. Using a system of Codazzi-type equations, we classify connected real hypersurfaces in $\C^{n+1}$, $n\ge 2$, which are…
We provide a new construction of Huber's universal compactification in the case of the structure morphism of a quasi-compact, separated rigid analytic space over a non-archimedean field. We make use of Raynaud's theory of formal models and…
Let U be a real form of a complex semisimple Lie group, and tau, sigma, a pair of commuting involutions on U. This data corresponds to a reflective submanifold of a symmetric space, U/K. We define an associated integrable system, and…
We provide a sufficient condition that ensures the nilpotency of endomorphisms universally of trace zero of Schur-finite objects in a category of homological type, i.e., a Q-linear tensor category with a tensor functor to super vector…
An exact class of solutions of the 5D vacuum Einstein field equations (EFEs) is obtained. The metric coefficients are found to be non-separable functions of time and the extra coordinate $l$ and the induced metric on $l$ = constant…
We give a survey of analytic and geometric results on `fibred cusp spaces', a large class of non-compact Riemannian manifolds which include the regular parts of singular spaces with incomplete cusp singularities as well as complete spaces…
