We present a compared analysis of some properties of indefinite almost $\mathcal{S}$-manifolds and indefinite $\mathcal{S}$-manifolds. We give some characterizations in terms of the Levi-Civita connection and of the characteristic vector…

Generalized Bott manifolds (over $\mathbb C$ and $\mathbb R$) have been defined by Choi, Masuda and Suh. In this article we extend the results of arXiv:1609.05630 on the topology of real Bott manifolds to generalized real Bott manifolds. We…

We relate two different proposals to extend the \'etale topology into homotopy theory, namely via the notion of finite cover introduced by Mathew and via the notion of separable commutative algebra introduced by Balmer. We show that finite…

Neretin and Segal independently defined a semigroup of annuli with boundary parametrizations, which is viewed as a complexification of the group of diffeomorphisms of the circle. By extending the parametrizations to quasisymmetries, we show…

A closed connected hyperbolic $n$-manifold bounds geometrically if it is isometric to the geodesic boundary of a compact hyperbolic $(n+1)$-manifold. A. Reid and D. Long have shown by arithmetic methods the existence of infinitely many…

This paper completes the classification of seven-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups endowed with a left-invariant purely coclosed $\text{G}_2$-structure, initiated by the first-named author and collaborators. In this previous work, the…

We prove that the pseudoisotopy stable range for manifolds of dimension 2n can be no better than (2n-2). In order to do so, we define new characteristic classes for block bundles, extending our earlier work with Ebert, and prove their…

We observe that the nonstandard finite cardinality of a definable set in a strongly minimal pseudofinite structure D is a polynomial over the integers in the nonstandard finite cardinality of D. We conclude that D is unimodular, hence also…

We classify nilmanifolds with an invariant symplectic half-flat structure. We solve the half-flat evolution equations in one example, writing down the resulting Ricci-flat metric. We study the geometry of the orbit space of 6-manifolds with…

In this article we study properly discontinuous actions on Hilbert manifolds giving new examples of complete Hilbert manifolds with nonnegative, respectively nonpositive, sectional curvature with infinite fundamental group. We also get…

Let (M,g) be a smooth connected compact Riemannian manifold of finite dimension n \geq 2 with a smooth boundary \partial M. We consider the problem -{\epsilon}^2\Delta_gu+u=|u|^{p-2}u, u>0 on M, \partial u/ \partial{\nu}=0 on \partial M…

We undertake a systematic study of the approximation properties of the topological and measurable versions of the coarse boundary groupoid associated to a sequence of finite graphs of bounded degree. On the topological side, we prove that…

Understanding the relationships between geometry and topology is a central theme in Riemannian geometry. We establish two results on the fundamental groups of open (complete and noncompact) $n$-manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and…

We generalise the classical Chern-Gauss-Bonnet formula to a class of 4-dimensional manifolds with finitely many conformally flat ends and singular points. This extends results of Chang-Qing-Yang in the smooth case. Under the assumptions of…

The main scalar-mean extremality and rigidity results in the existing literature concern manifolds whose curvature operators are nonnegative, or warped product spaces with a log-concave warping function whose leaves carry metrics of…

For a compact spinc manifold $X$ with boundary $b_1(\partial X)=0$, we consider moduli spaces of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations in a generalized double Coulomb slice in $L^2_1$ (i.e., $W^{1,2}$) Sobolev regularity. We prove they…

We study pseudo-Riemanniasn manifolds $(M,g)$ with transitive group of conformal transformation which is essential, i.e. does not preserves any metric conformal to $g$. All such manifolds of Lorentz signature with non exact isotropy…

In this expository article, we give a self-contained introduction to the wonderfully well-behaved class of pseudocompact algebras, focusing on the foundational classes of semisimple and separable algebras. We give characterizations of such…

Let $\Omega$ be a complex manifold, and let $X\subset \Omega$ be an open submanifold whose closure $\bar X$ is a (not necessarily compact) submanifold with smooth boundary. Let $G$ be a complex Lie group, $\Pi$ be a differentiable principal…

For a closed Riemannian manifold $M$ with a compact Lie group $G$ acting by isometries, we show that there are infinitely many $G$-invariant minimal hypersurfaces. Under the assumption that $M$ contains at most a finite number of minimal…
