We say that a CR singular submanifold $M$ has a removable CR singularity if the CR structure at the CR points of $M$ extends through the singularity as an abstract CR structure on $M$. We study such real-analytic submanifolds, in which case…

We deform a map into a Riemannian manifold that is horizontal with respect to a submersion onto a non-positively curved manifold and satisfies a Chow condition into a harmonic one through a horizontal homotopy.

In this article, we consider a complete, non-compact almost Hermitian manifold whose curvature is asymptotic to that of the complex hyperbolic plane. Under natural geometric conditions, we show that such a manifold arises as the interior of…

Lorenz maps are maps of the unit interval with one critical point of order rho>1, and a discontinuity at that point. They appear as return maps of leafs of sections of the geometric Lorenz flow. We construct real a priori bounds for…

We show the smoothness of weakly Dirac-harmonic maps from a closed spin Riemann surface into stationary Lorentzian manifolds, and obtain a regularity theorem for a class of critical elliptic systems without anti-symmetry structures.

Let M of real dimension 2n-1 be a compact, orientable, weakly pseudoconvex manifold of dimension at least five, embedded in C^N (n less than or equal to N), of codimension one or more in C^N, and endowed with the induced CR structure. We…

First, we give a functorial construction of a group associated to a symmetric operad. Applied to the endomorphism operad it gives the group of formal diffeomorphisms. Second, we associate a symmetric operad to any family of decorated graphs…

We find geometric conditions on a four-dimensional Hermitian manifold endowed with a metric connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion under which the complex structure is a harmonic map from the manifold into its twistor space…

Adapting \cite{strz3}, we define generalized $p$-harmonic maps into Riemannian homogeneous targets, a notion of solutions not belonging to the energy space. Restricting our attention to the subcritical range $p$ greater than the domain…

In the present article the geometry of semi-Riemannian manifolds with nonholonomic constraints is studied. These manifolds can be considered as analogues to the sub-Riemannian manifolds, where the positively definite metric is substituted…

CR singularities of real 4-submanifolds in complex 3-space are classified by using local holomorphic coordinate changes to transform the quadratic coefficients of the real analytic defining equation into a normal form. The quadratic…

We give conditions on the Lee vector field of an almost Hermitian manifold such that any holomorphic map from this manifold into a (1,2)-symplectic manifold must satisfy the fourth-order condition of being biharmonic, hence generalizing the…

In this article, we study Conformal pointwise-slant Riemannian maps (\textit{CPSRM}) from or to K\"{a}hler manifolds to or from Riemannian manifolds. To check the existence of such maps, we provide some non-trivial examples. We derive some…

We describe, in an intrinsic way and using the global chart provided by Ito's parallel transport, a generalisation of the notion of geodesic (as critical path of an energy functional) to diffusion processes on Riemannian manifolds. These…

Let $X$ be a compact connected orientable CR manifold with the action of a connected compact Lie group $G$. Under natural pseudoconvexity assumptions we show that the CR Guillemin-Strernberg map is Fredholm at the level of Sobolev spaces of…

We introduce and study the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometry. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry and enjoy their important properties. Moreover, they exist in…

In this paper we study 1/k-geodesics, those closed geodesics that minimize on any subinterval of length $l(\gamma)/k$. We employ energy methods to provide a relationship between the 1/k-geodesics and what we define as the balanced points of…

We consider a family of non-compact manifolds $X_\eps$ (``graph-like manifolds'') approaching a metric graph $X_0$ and establish convergence results of the related natural operators, namely the (Neumann) Laplacian $\laplacian {X_\eps}$ and…

We study the existence of harmonic maps and Dirac-harmonic maps from degenerating surfaces to non-positive curved manifold via the scheme of Sacks and Uhlenbeck. By choosing a suitable sequence of $\alpha$-(Dirac-)harmonic maps from a…
