Consider the surface measure $\mu$ on a sphere in a nonvertical hyperplane on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$, $n\ge 2$, and the convolution $f*\mu$. Form the associated maximal function $Mf=\sup_{t>0}|f*\mu_t|$ generated by the…

Given a simply connected manifold $M$, we completely determine which rational monomial Pontryagin numbers are attained by fiber homotopy trivial $M$-bundles over the $k$-sphere, provided that $k$ is small compared to the dimension of $M$.…

We prove density of smooth functions in subspaces of Sobolev- and higher order $BV$-spaces of kind $W^{m,p}(\Omega)\cap L^q(\Omega-D)$ and $BV^m(\Omega)\cap L^q(\Omega-D)$, respectively, where $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\in\mathbb{N}$)…

We consider the following problem: for which classes of finite groups, and in particular finite simple groups, does the minimal dimension of a faithful, smooth action on a homology sphere coincide with the minimal dimension of a faithful,…

We prove an integral representation result for functionals with growth conditions which give coercivity on the space $SBD^p(\Omega)$, for $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$. The space $SBD^p$ of functions whose distributional strain is the sum of…

A metric space $M$ us said to have the fibered approximation property in dimension $n$ (br., $M\in \mathrm{FAP}(n)$) if for any $\epsilon>0$, $m\geq 0$ and any map $g: I^m\times I^n\to M$ there exists a map $g':I^m\times I^n\to M$ such that…

We study the topology of the space of positive scalar curvature metrics on high dimensional spheres and other spin manifolds. Our main result provides elements of infinite order in higher homotopy and homology groups of these spaces, which,…

We study spherical functions on the space isomorphic to $U(2n)/(U(n)\times U(n))$ over a $p$-adic field; those functional equations with respect to the action of the Weyl group, the location of possible poles and zeros, explicit formulas,…

We give a complete classification of modular categories of dimension $p^3m$ where $p$ is prime and $m$ is a square-free integer. When $p$ is odd, all such categories are pointed. For $p=2$ one encounters modular categories with the same…

I prove three classification results about harmonic morphisms whose fibers have dimension one. All are valid when the domain is at least of dimension 4. (The character of this overdetermined problem is very different when the dimension of…

We study the existence problem and the enumeration problem for sections of Serre fibrations over compact orientable surfaces. When the fundamental group of the fiber is finite, a complete solution is given in terms of 2-dimensional…

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between positive definite functions on the unit sphere $\sph$ and on the Euclidean space $\RR^d$. For the dimension $d$ to be odd, a new technique is developed to establish the inheritance of…

Let $\widetilde{M}$ be a complex manifold and $\Gamma$ be a torsion-free cocompact lattice of $\text{Aut}(\widetilde{M})$. Let $\rho\colon\Gamma\to SU(N,1)$ be a representation and $M:=\widetilde M/\Gamma$ be an $n$-dimensional compact…

A few years ago, Bourgain proved that the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function for the cube has dimension free $L^p$-bounds for $p>1$. We extend his result to products of Euclidean balls of different dimensions. In addition, we…

We prove that for any isometric action of a group on a unit sphere of dimension larger than one, the quotient space has diameter zero or larger than a universal dimension-independent positive constant.
