We derive general structure and rigidity theorems for submetries $f: M \to X$, where $M$ is a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature $\sec M \ge 1$. When applied to a non-trivial Riemannian submersion, it follows that $diam X \leq…

We prove that if the Carath\'eodory metric on a strictly pseudoconvex domain with a smooth boundary is locally K\"{a}hler near the boundary, then the domain is biholomorphic to a ball. We also establish a local rigidity theorem for domains…

Using quasiconformal mappings, we prove that any Riemann surface of finite connectivity and finite genus is conformally equivalent to an intrinsic circle domain U in a compact Riemann surface S. This means that each connected component B of…

In this paper we establish Gehring-Hayman type theorems for some complex domains. Suppose that $\Omega\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ is a bounded $m$-convex domain with Dini-smooth boundary, or a bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain with…

We study an overdetermined elliptic free boundary problem for exterior domains in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N \ge 2$, introduced by F. Morabito [Comm. PDE 46 (2021), 1137-1161]. The overdetermining condition prescribes the Neumann data as a multiple…

It is well known that a hyperbolic domain in the complex plane has uniformly perfect boundary precisely when the product of its hyperbolic density and the distance function to its boundary has a positive lower bound. We extend this…

A quadratic H\'enon map is an automorphism of $\C^2$ of the form $h:(x,y)\mapsto (\l^{1/2} (x^2+c)-\l y,x)$. It has a constant Jacobian equal to $\l$ and has two fixed points. If $\lambda$ is on the unit circle (one says $h$ is…

In a recent work of Zhou and Ponnusamy [Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa Ci. Sci. 2025], the authors studied the following natural question: find sufficient and necessary conditions for a domain $\Omega$ in a metric space $X$ to be…

In a Riemannian manifold a regular convex domain is said to be $\lambda$-convex if its normal curvature at each point is greater than or equal to $\lambda$. In a Hadamard manifold, the asymptotic behaviour of the quotient…

An analog of the Baumslag-Solitar group BS(1,k) naturally acts on the sphere by conformal transformations. The action is not locally rigid in higher dimension, but exhibits a weak form of local rigidity. More precisely, any perturbation…

A topological commutative ring is said to be rigid when for every set $X$, the topological dual of the $X$-fold topological product of the ring is isomorphic to the free module over $X$. Examples are fields with a ring topology, discrete…

Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\mathbb{C}$ with hyperbolic metric $\lambda_\Omega(z)|dz|$ of Gaussian curvature $-4.$ Mejia and Minda proved in their 1990 paper that $\Omega$ is (Euclidean) convex if and only if…

We prove that for a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^n$ which is Gromov hyperbolic with respect to the quasihyperbolic metric, especially when $\Omega$ is a finitely connected planar domain, the Sobolev space $W^{1,\,\infty}(\Omega)$…

We consider a partially overdetermined problem in a sector-like domain $\Omega$ in a cone $\Sigma$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 2$, and prove a rigidity result of Serrin type by showing that the existence of a solution implies that $\Omega$ is…

We analyze a real one-parameter family of quasiconformal deformations of a hyperbolic rational map known as {\em spinning}. We show that under fairly general hypotheses, the limit of spinning either exists and is unique, or else converges…

We study Serrin's overdetermined boundary value problems in bounded domains on weighted Riemannian manifolds. When the closure of the domain is compact, we establish a rigidity result that characterizes both the solution and the geometry of…

Consider a countable group Gamma acting ergodically by measure preserving transformations on a probability space (X,mu), and let R_Gamma be the corresponding orbit equivalence relation on X. The following rigidity phenomenon is shown: there…

We use the Suita conjecture (now a theorem) to prove that for any domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}$ its Bergman kernel $K(\cdot, \cdot)$ satisfies $K(z_0, z_0) = \hbox{Volume}(\Omega)^{-1}$ for some $z_0 \in \Omega$ if and only if $\Omega$…

In this paper, we study some intrinsic characterization of conformally compact manifolds. We show that, if a complete Riemannian manifold admits an essential set and its curvature tends to -1 at infinity in certain rate, then it is…

We consider shape functionals of the form $F_q(\Omega)=P(\Omega)T^q(\Omega)$ on the class of open sets of prescribed Lebesgue measure. Here $q>0$ is fixed, $P(\Omega)$ denotes the perimeter of $\Omega$ and $T(\Omega)$ is the torsional…
