We show that a compact Riemannian $3$-manifold $M$ with strictly convex simply connected boundary and sectional curvature $K\leq a\leq 0$ is isometric to a convex domain in a complete simply connected space of constant curvature $a$,…

Let $D$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$. Suppose the holomorphic sectional curvature of its Bergman metric equals a negative constant $\tau$. We show that $D$ is biholomorphic to a domain $\Omega$ equal to the unit ball in…

We show that any compact orientable hyperbolic 3-cone-manifold with cone angle at most \pi can be continuously deformed to a complete hyperbolic manifold homeomorphic to the complement of the singularity. This together with the local…

We prove that the class of convex-cocompact Kleinian groups is quasi-isometrically rigid. We also establish that a word hyperbolic group with a planar boundary different from the sphere is virtually a convex-cocompact Kleinian group…

In recent work by Zimmer it was proved that if $\Omega\subset\mathbb C^n$ is a bounded convex domain with $C^\infty$-smooth boundary, then $\Omega$ is strictly pseudoconvex provided that the squeezing function approaches one as one…

The solvability in Sobolev spaces is proved for divergence form complex-valued higher order parabolic systems in the whole space, on a half space, and on a Reifenberg flat domain. The leading coefficients are assumed to be merely measurable…

We first give a sufficient condition, issued from pluripotential theory, for an unbounded domain in the complex Euclidean space $\mathbb C^n$ to be Kobayashi hyperbolic. Then, we construct an example of a rigid pseudoconvex domain in…

A central question in dynamics is whether the topology of a system determines its geometry. This is known as rigidity. Under mild topological conditions rigidity holds for many classical cases, including: Kleinian groups, circle…

A ring is rigid if there is no nonzero locally nilpotent derivation on it. In terms of algebraic geometry, a rigid coordinate ring corresponds to an algebraic affine variety which does not allow any nontrivial algebraic additive group…

We introduce the concept of orthogonal structure on complex Grassmannians. Based on this structure, we define the notion of orthogonal mappings. This class of maps generalizes holomorphic maps between the Shilov boundaries of type-I bounded…

We construct a (non-removable) Jordan curve $\Gamma$ and a non-M\"{o}bius homeomorphism of the Riemann sphere which is conformal on the complement of $\Gamma$ and maps the curve $\Gamma$ onto itself. The curve is flexible in the sense of…

We study the method of finding conformal maps onto circle domains by approximating with finitely connected subdomains. Every domain $D \subset \hat{C}$ admits exhaustions, i.e., increasing sequences of finitely connected subdomains $D_j$…

I use local differential geometric techniques to prove that the algebraic cycles in certain extremal homology classes in Hermitian symmetric spaces are either rigid (i.e., deformable only by ambient motions) or quasi-rigid (roughly…

We investigate the relationship between quasisymmetric and convergence groups acting on the circle. We show that the M\"obius transformations of the circle form a maximal convergence group. This completes the characterization of the…

A ring R is said to be rigid if the only locally nilpotent derivation of R is the zero derivation. Let G be an abelian group, and B = (direct sum of B_i for i in G) be a G-graded commutative integral domain of characteristic 0. For each…

The conformal boundary of a hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ is a union of Riemann surfaces. If any of these Riemann surfaces has a nontrivial Teichm\"uller space, then the hyperbolic metric of $M$ can be deformed quasi-isometrically. These…

We prove that the space of dominant/non-constant holomorphic mappings from a product of hyperbolic Riemann surfaces of finite type into certain hyperbolic manifolds with universal cover a bounded domain is a finite set.

In this paper, we define what is called a quasi-Reinhardt domain and study biholomorphisms between such domains. We show that all biholomorphisms between two bounded quasi-Reinhardt domains fixing the origin are polynomial mappings, and we…

Suppose G is a hyperbolic group whose boundary has topological dimension k. If the boundary is quasisymmetrically homeomorphic to an Ahlfors k-regular metric space, then, modulo a finite normal subgroup, G is isomorphic to a uniform lattice…

Let $\Gamma$ be a word hyperbolic group with a cyclic JSJ decomposition that has only rigid vertex groups, which are all fundamental groups of closed surface groups. We show that any group $H$ quasi-isometric to $\Gamma$ is abstractly…
