Examples of almost-positively and quasi-positively curved spaces of the form M=H((G,h)xF) were discovered recently. Here, h is a left-invariant metric on a compact Lie group G, F is a compact Riemannian manifold on which the subgroup H of G…

In this paper, we show that if the holomorphic tangent bundle $TX$ of a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ is uniformly weakly RC-positive, then $X$ is projective and rationally connected. This result is previously established by Xiaokui Yang…

The theory of string-like continuous curves and discrete chains have numerous important physical applications. Here we develop a general geometrical approach, to systematically derive Hamiltonian energy functions for these objects. In the…

We present a generalization of the Li, Nunes and Vanderbilt density-matrix method to the case of a non-orthogonal set of basis functions. A representation of the real-space density matrix is chosen in such a way that only the overlap…

This article establishes a low-regularity Riemannian positive mass theorem for non-spin manifolds whose metrics are only $C^0 \cap W_{\mathrm{loc}}^{1,n}$ and smooth outside a compact set. The main theorem asserts that asymptotically flat…

The aim of this paper is to study new classes of Riemannian manifolds endowed with a smooth potential function, including in a general framework classical canonical structures such as Einstein, harmonic curvature and Yamabe metrics, and,…

The expression (-1/u) times the Hessian of u transforms as a symmetric (0,2) tensor under projective coordinate transformations, so long as u transforms as a section of a certain line bundle. On a locally projectively flat manifold M, the…

We study some canonical differential operators on vector bundles over smooth, complete Riemannian manifolds. Under very general assumptions, we show that smooth, compactly supported sections are dense in the domains of these operators.…

We study a functional on the boundary of a compact Riemannian 3-manifold of nonnegative scalar curvature. The functional arises as the second variation of the Wang-Yau quasi-local energy in general relativity. We prove that the functional…

We study the smoothness and preserving orientation properties of a global and nonautonomous version of the Hartman--Grobman Theorem when the linear system has a nonuniform contraction on the half line. The nonuniform contraction implies the…

This paper extends the result of \cite{BM} on the homogenization of integral functionals with linear growth defined for Sobolev maps taking values in a given manifold. Through a $\Gamma$-convergence analysis, we identify the homogenized…

We compactify M(atrix) theory on Riemann surfaces Sigma with genus g>1. Following [1], we construct a projective unitary representation of pi_1(Sigma) realized on L^2(H), with H the upper half-plane. As a first step we introduce a suitably…

We consider conformal immersions of Riemann surfaces in $\bb{S}^4$ and study their Gauss maps with values in the Grassmann bundle $\mathcal{F} = SO_5/T^2 \to \mathbb{S}^4$. The energy of maps from Riemann surfaces into $\mathcal{F}$ is…

We consider a sequence of random Hamiltonians $H_n(h,\sigma)=\sum^n_{i=1}h_i(\sigma_i-m)$, and study the asymptotic ($n\to \infty$) distribution of the energy levels $(H_n(h,\sigma))_{\sigma\in \{-1,1\}^n}$, where $h_1,h_2,\cdots$ are…

Let $\rho_\Sigma=h(|z|^2)$ be a metric in a Riemann surface $\Sigma$, where $h$ is a positive real function. Let $\mathcal H_{r_1}=\{w=f(z)\}$ be the family of univalent $\rho_\Sigma$ harmonic mapping of the Euclidean annulus…

Density functional theory, when applied to systems with $T\neq 0$, is based on the grand canonical extension of the Hohenberg-Kohn-Sham theorem due to Mermin (HKSM theorem). While a straightforward canonical ensemble generalization fails,…

The theory of geometric quantum mechanics describes a quantum system as a Hamiltonian dynamical system with a complex projective Hilbert space as its phase space, thus equipped with a Riemannian metric in addition to a symplectic structure.…

Let $M$ be a $C^2$-smooth Riemannian manifold with boundary and $N$ a complete $C^2$-smooth Riemannian manifold. We show that each stationary $p$-harmonic mapping $u\colon M\to N$, whose image lies in a compact subset of $N$, is locally…

We consider triholomorphic maps from an almost hyper-Hermitian manifold $\mathcal{M}^{4m}$ into a hyperK\"ahler manifold $\mathcal{N}^{4n}$. This means that $u \in W^{1,2}$ satisfies a quaternionic del-bar equation. We work under the…
