We prove a warped product splitting theorem for manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below in the spirit of [Croke-Kleiner, \emph{Duke Math.\;J}.\;(1992)], but instead of asking that one boundary component is compact and mean-convex,…

We establish two-sided Gaussian bounds for the fundamental solution of second-order parabolic operators in non-divergence form under minimal regularity assumptions. Specifically, we show that the upper and lower bounds follow from the local…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$ be an open set. Given a boundary datum $g$ on $\partial\Omega$ and a function $K:\bar {\Omega} \to\mathcal{K}$, the family of all compact convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, we prove the existence of…

We denote by $\mathcal{H}_{d,g,r}$ the Hilbert scheme of smooth curves, which is the union of components whose general point corresponds to a smooth irreducible and non-degenerate curve of degree $d$ and genus $g$ in $\mathbb{P}^r$. In this…

In this paper, we show that the constant property of the Gaussian curvature of surfaces of revolution in both $\mathbb R^4$ and $\mathbb R_1^4$ depend only on the radius of rotation. We then give necessary and sufficient conditions for the…

This paper extends the Bakry-\'{E}mery theorem connecting the Ricci curvature and log-Sobolev inequalities to the matrix-valued setting. Using tools from noncommuative geometry, it is shown that for a right invariant second order…

Let $S$ be a noncompact, finite area hyperbolic surface of type $(g, n)$. Let $\Delta_S$ denote the Laplace operator on $S$. As $S$ varies over the {\it moduli space} ${\mathcal{M}_{g, n}}$ of finite area hyperbolic surfaces of type $(g,…

It is well-known that every convex function admits an affine support at every interior point of a domain. Convex functions of higher order (precisely of an odd order) have a similar property: they are supported by the polynomials of degree…

Let $G=NH$ be a Lie group where $N,H$ are closed connected subgroups of $G,$ and $N$ is an exponential solvable Lie group which is normal in $G.$ Suppose furthermore that $N$ admits a unitary character $\chi_{\lambda}$ corresponding to a…

In this paper, we address an extension of the theory of self-concordant functions for a manifold. We formulate the self-concordance of a geodesically convex function by a condition of the covariant derivative of its Hessian, and verify that…

Let G be an infinite discrete group and bG its Cech-Stone compactification. Using the well known fact that a free ultrafilter on an infinite set is nonmeasurable, we show that for each element p of the remainder bG G, left multiplication…

It was proved that the fundamental group of the space of harmonic polynomials of degree $n(n \geq 2)$, with the same Gaussian curvature is not trivial. Furthermore, we give an example of topologically nonequivalent conjugate harmonic…

We prove that for every metric on the torus with curvature bounded from below by -1 in the sense of Alexandrov there exists a hyperbolic cusp with convex boundary such that the induced metric on the boundary is the given metric. The proof…

We investigate how to find generic and globally rigid realizations of graphs in $\mathbb{R}^d$ based on elementary geometric observations. Our arguments lead to new proofs of a combinatorial characterization of the global rigidity of graphs…

We make the polynomial dependence on the fixed representation $\pi$ in our previous subconvex bound of $L(1/2,\pi \otimes \chi)$ for $\mathrm{GL}_2 \times \mathrm{GL}_1$ explicit, especially with respect to the usual conductor…

We study the global topological structure and smoothness of the boundaries of $\varepsilon$-neighbourhoods $E_\varepsilon = \{x \in \mathbb{R}^2 \, : \, \textrm{dist}(x, E) \leq \varepsilon \}$ of planar sets $E \subset \mathbb{R}^2$. We…

The problem of combinatorially determining the rank of the 3-dimensional bar-joint {\em rigidity matroid} of a graph is an important open problem in combinatorial rigidity theory. Maxwell's condition states that the edges of a graph $G=(V,…

This paper deals with finding surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which are as close as possible to being flat and span a given contour such that the contour is a geodesic on the sought surface. We look for a surface which minimizes the total…

Let $S_{g,n}$ be a surface of genus $g > 1$ with $n>0$ punctures equipped with a complete hyperbolic cusp metric. Then it can be uniquely realized as the boundary metric of an ideal Fuchsian polyhedron. In the present paper we give a new…
