According to the Markus conjecture, closed flat affine manifolds with parallel volume should be complete. We show it is the case for three-manifolds when the holonomy centralizes an affine transformation preserving the volume. It is notably…
For convex domains with $C^{1,\epsilon}$ boundary we give a precise description of the automorphism group: if an orbit of the automorphism group accumulates on at least two different closed complex faces of the boundary, then the…
Let X be a compact Kahler manifold with negative sectional curvature and residually finite fundamental group. Then its universal covering is a bounded domain in an affine space.
In this note, we estimate the upper bound of volume of closed positively or nonnegatively curved Alexandrov space $X$ with strictly convex boundary. We also discuss the equality case. In particular, the Boundary Conjecture holds when the…
We first show that for a bounded pseudoconvex domain with a manifold quotient of finite-volume in the sense of Kahler-Einstein measure, the identity component of the automorphism group of this domain is semi-simple without compact factors.…
An affine manifold is a manifold with an affine structure, i.e. a torsion-free flat affine connection. We show that the universal cover of a closed affine 3-manifold $M$ with holonomy group of shrinkable dimension (or discompacit\'e in…
In this article, we study convex affine domains which can cover a compact affine manifold. For this purpose, we first show that every strictly convex quasi-homogeneous projective domain has at least $C^1$ boundary and it is an ellipsoid if…
The author introduces a conjecture about Makar-Limanov invariants of affine unique factorization domains over a field of characteristic zero. Then the author finds that the conjecture does not always hold when $\mathbbm{k}$ is not…
We consider closed manifolds that possess a so called rank one ray structure. That is a (flat) affine structure such that the linear part is given by the products of a diagonal transformation and a commuting rotation. We show that closed…
For bounded pseudoconvex domains with finite type we give a precise description of the automorphism group: if an orbit of the automorphism group accumulates on at least two different points of the boundary, then the automorphism group has…
A (flat) affine $3$-manifold is a $3$-manifold with an atlas of charts to an affine space $\mathbb{R}^3$ with transition maps in the affine transformation group $\mathrm{Aff}(\mathbb{R}^3)$. We will show that a connected closed affine…
The main result of this paper is that the identity component of the automorphism group of a compact, connected, strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold is compact unless the manifold is CR equivalent to the standard sphere. In dimensions greater…
The conjecture of Kosniowski asserts that if the circle acts on a compact unitary manifold $M$ with a non-empty fixed point set and $M$ does not bound a unitary manifold equivariantly, then the dimension of the manifold is bounded above by…
We propose a new approach to the study of compact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary or positive Ricci curvature and convex boundary. Several conjectures are formulated. Some partial results…
In this note, we construct examples of bounded smooth convex domains with no non-trivial analytic discs on the boundary which possess a holomorphic self-map without fixed points so that the iterates do not converge to a point (that is, the…
We compare the perimeter measure with the Airault-Malliavin surface measure and we prove that all open convex subsets of abstract Wiener spaces have finite perimeter. By an explicit counter-example, we show that in general this is not true…
We show that closed aspherical manifolds supporting an affine structure, whose holonomy map is injective and contains a pure translation, must have vanishing simplicial volume. This provides some further evidence for the veracity of the…
In this paper we study domains in flag manifolds which are bounded in an affine chart and whose projective automorphism group acts co-compactly. In contrast to the many examples in real projective space, we will show that no examples exist…
In this paper we study the automorphism group of smoothly bounded convex domains. We show that such a domain is biholomorphic to a "polynomial ellipsoid" (that is, a domain defined by a weighted homogeneous balanced polynomial) if and only…
The convex body isoperimetric conjecture in the plane asserts that the least perimeter to enclose given area inside a unit disk is greater than inside any other convex set of area $\pi$. In this note we confirm two cases of the conjecture:…
