Several rigidity results are proved for critical points of natural Riemannian functionals on the space of metrics on 3-manifolds. Two of these results are as follows. Let (N, g) be a complete Riemannian 3-manifold, satisfying one of the…

It is known that an $n$-dimensional convex body which is typical in the sense of Baire category, shows a simple, but highly non-intuitive curvature behaviour: at almost all of its boundary points, in the sense of measure, all curvatures are…

We consider the classical point vortex model in the mean-field scaling regime, in which the velocity field experienced by a single point vortex is proportional to the average of the velocity fields generated by the remaining point vortices.…
