The compact set of homogeneous quadratic polynomials in $n$ real variables with modulus bounded by 1 on the unit sphere $S^{n-1}$ is trivially semi-definite representable. The compact set of homogeneous ternary quartics with modulus bounded…

In this paper, the asymptotic theory presented in (Caponera et al., 2022) for spline-type anysotropic covariance estimator on the 2-dimensional sphere is generalized to the case of connected and compact two-point homogeneous spaces.

We classify curvature homogeneous hypersurfaces in S^4 and H^4. In higher dimesnsion one only has the FKM examples and an isolate one by Tsukada of a hypersurface in H^5. Besides some simple examples, we show that there exists an isolated…

We present a general construction of embedded minimal and constant mean curvature surfaces in $\mathbb{S}^n$ and one-phase free boundaries joined by a smooth interpolation by capillary hypersurfaces. This framework recovers all known…

Homological Projective duality (HP-duality) theory, introduced by Kuznetsov [42], is one of the most powerful frameworks in the homological study of algebraic geometry. The main result (HP-duality theorem) of the theory gives complete…

In this paper we consider Lorentzian surfaces in the 4-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian sphere $\mathbb S^4_2(1)$ with index 2 of curvature one. We obtain the complete classification of minimal Lorentzian surfaces $\mathbb S^4_2(1)$ whose…

We discuss homogeneity and universality issues in the theory of abstract linear spaces, namely, structures with points and lines satisfying natural axioms, as in Euclidean or projective geometry. We show that the two smallest projective…

We prove that a maximal totally complex submanifold $N^{2n}$ of the quaternionic projective space $\mathbb{H}\mathbb{P}^n$ ($n\geq 2$) is a parallel submanifold, provided one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) $N$ is the orbit of…

In the years 1952 and 1965, H.-C. Wang and U. Hirzebruch showed that the two-point homogeneous compact spaces with convex metrics are isometric to the spheres, the real, complex, octonion projective spaces and the Moufang plane and as well…

We consider codimension 2 sphere congruences in pseudo-conformal geometry that are harmonic with respect to the conformal structure of an orthogonal surface. We characterise the orthogonal surfaces of such congruences as either $S$-Willmore…

In this article, we improve the partial regularity theory for minimizing $1/2$-harmonic maps in the case where the target manifold is the $(m-1)$-dimensional sphere. For $m\geq 3$, we show that minimizing $1/2$-harmonic maps are smooth in…

We show that there exists a metric with positive scalar curvature on S2xS1 and a sequence of embedded minimal cylinders that converges to a minimal lamination that, in a neighborhood of a strictly stable 2-sphere, is smooth except at two…

We obtain a complete classification of proper biharmonic hypersurfaces with at most three distinct principal curvatures in sphere spaces with arbitrary dimension. Precisely, together with known results of Balmu\c{s}-Montaldo-Oniciuc, we…

We classify minimal extrinsically homogeneous submanifolds of complex hyperbolic spaces.

Let $S$ be a complete flat surface, such as the Euclidean plane. We determine the homeomorphism class of the space of all curves on $S$ which start and end at given points in given directions and whose curvatures are constrained to lie in a…

A bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy of quaternion soliton equations is derived from geometric non-stretching flows of curves in the quaternionic projective space $HP^n$. The derivation adapts the method and results in recent work by one of us on the…

We describe in parallel the Lorentzian homogeneous spaces $G=\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ and $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{psl}(2,\mathbb{R})$, and review some recent results relating the geometry of their quotients by discrete groups.

We show that if a complex has free finitely generated reduced homology groups for two consecutive dimensions and trivial homology for all other dimensions, then it must have the homotopy type of a wedge of spheres of two consecutive…
