We study Lord Rayleigh's problem for clamped plates on an arbitrary $n$-dimensional $(n\geq 2)$ Cartan-Hadamard manifold $(M,g)$ with sectional curvature $\textbf{K}\leq -\kappa^2$ for some $\kappa\geq 0.$ We first prove a McKean-type…

Let X be a (not-necessarily homotopy-associative) H-space. We show that TC_{n+1}(X) = cat(X^n), for n >= 1, where TC_{n+1}(-) denotes the so-called higher topological complexity introduced by Rudyak, and cat(-) denotes the…

A classical result of A.D. Alexandrov states that a connected compact smooth $n-$dimensional manifold without boundary, embedded in $\Bbb R^{n+1}$, and such that its mean curvature is constant, is a sphere. Here we study the problem of…

In this paper we give a new proof for an almost isometry theorem in Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below.

In this paper, we prove a Heintze-Karcher type inequality for capillary hypersurfaces supported on various hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space. The equality case only occurs on capillary totally umbilical hypersurfaces. Then we apply this…

We prove that any metric of non-positive curvature in the sense of Alexandrov on a compact surface can be isometrically embedded as a convex spacelike Cauchy surface in a flat spacetime of dimension (2+1). The proof follows from polyhedral…

In this paper, we prove that any simple $\{C_3,C_5\}$-free non-empty connected graph $G$ with LLY curvature bounded below by $\kappa>0$ has the order at most $2^{\frac{2}{\kappa}}$. This upper bound is achieved if and only if $G$ is a…

The generalized Cartan-Hadamard conjecture says that if $\Omega$ is a domain with fixed volume in a complete, simply connected Riemannian $n$-manifold $M$ with sectional curvature $K \le \kappa \le 0$, then the boundary of $\Omega$ has the…

For a path in a compact finite dimensional Alexandrov space $X$ with curv $\ge \kappa$, the two basic geometric invariants are the length and the turning angle (which measures the closeness from being a geodesic). We show that the sum of…

We show that there are locally compact spaces that can be condensed onto separable spaces but not onto compact separable spaces. We also show that for every cardinal $\kappa$ there is a locally compact topological group of cardinality…

We show that any n-dimensional nonnegatively curved Alexandrov space with the maximal possible number of extremal points is isometric to a quotient space of Euclidean n -space by an action of a crystallographic group. We describe all such…

In \cite{Chaber}, Chaber has proved that countably compact spaces with a quasi $G_{\delta }$-diagonal are compact. We prove that initially $\kappa $% -compact spaces with a quasi $G_{\kappa }$-diagonal are compact, for any infinite cardinal…

We use a natural forcing to construct a left-separated topology on an arbitrary cardinal kappa. The resulting left-separated space X_kappa is also 0-dimensional T_2, hereditarily Lindelof, and countably tight. Moreover if kappa is regular…

Consider a manifold with boundary, and such that the interior is equipped with a pseudo-Riemannian metric. We prove that, under mild asymptotic non-vanishing conditions on the scalar curvature, if the Levi-Civita connection of the interior…

Let $(M^{n}, g)$ be a closed connected Einstein space, $n=dim M ,$ and $\kappa_{0} $ be the lower bound of the sectional curvature. In this paper, we prove Udo Simon's conjecture: on closed Einstein spaces, $n\geq 3,$ there is no eigenvalue…

We give a metric characterization of the scalar curvature of a smooth Riemannian manifold, analyzing the maximal distance between $(n+1)$ points in infinitesimally small neighborhoods of a point. Since this characterization is purely in…

We construct examples of 3-dimensional compact aspherical Alexandrov spaces without boundary which are not topological manifolds.

Under the definition of Ricci curvature bounded below for Alexandrov spaces introduced by Zhang-Zhu, we generalize a result by Colding that an n dimentional manifold with Ricci curvature greater or equal to n minus 1 and volume close to…

We prove that a locally compact space with an upper curvature bound is a topological manifold if and only if all of its spaces of directions are homotopy equivalent and not contractible. We discuss applications to homology manifolds, limits…

In an attempt to develop higher-dimensional quasiconformal mappings on metric measure spaces with curvature conditions, i.e. from Ahlfors to Alexsandrov, we show that a non-collapsed $\mathrm{RCD}(0,n)$ space ($n\geq2$) with Euclidean…
