In this work, we study various properties of embedded hypersurfaces in $1+1+2$ decomposed spacetimes with a preferred spatial direction, denoted $e^{\mu}$, which are orthogonal to the fluid flow velocity of the spacetime and admit a proper…
We introduce a partial positivity notion for algebraic maps via the defect of semismallness. This positivity notion is modeled on $m$-positivity in the analytic setting and $m$-ampleness in the geometric setting. Using this positivity…
We obtain new topological information about the local structure of collapsing under a lower sectional curvature bound. As an application we prove a new sphere theorem and obtain a partial result towards the conjecture that not every…
We show that the gauge hierarchy problem can be solved in the framework of scalar-tensor theories of gravity very much in the same way as it is solved in the Randall-Sundrum scenario. Our solution involves a fine-tuning of the gravitational…
Although scalar curvature is the simplest curvature invariant, our understanding of scalar curvature has not matured to the same level as Ricci or sectional curvature. Despite this fact, many rigidity phenomenon have been established which…
We construct a black hole initial data for the Einstein equations with prescribed scalar curvature, or more precisely a piece of initial data contained inside the black hole. The constraints translate into a parabolic equation, with radius…
A paradigm describing black hole evaporation in non-perturbative quantum gravity is developed by combining two sets of detailed results: i) resolution of the Schwarzschild singularity using quantum geometry methods; and ii) time-evolution…
In this paper, we first study the locally constrained curvature flow of hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space, which was introduced by Brendle, Guan and Li [7]. This flow preserves the $m$th quermassintegral and decreases $(m+1)$th…
We analyse the impact of the inverse square law fall-off of the energy density in a charged isotropic spherically symmetric fluid. Initially we impose a linear barotropic equation of state $p=\alpha \rho$ but this leads to an intractable…
Recently, the gravitational collapse of an infinite cylindrical thin shell of matter in an otherwise empty spacetime with two hypersurface orthogonal Killing vectors was studied by Gon\c{c}alves [Phys. Rev. {\bf D65}, 084045 (2002).]. By…
Thurston's earthquake theorem asserts that every orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the circle admits an extension to the hyperbolic plane which is a (left or right) earthquake. The purpose of these notes is to provide a proof of…
In this paper we take an approach similar to that in [M] to establish a positive mass theorem for asymptotically hyperbolic spin manifolds admitting corners along a hypersurface. The main analysis uses an integral representation of a…
A particular dispersive generalization of long water wave equation in $1+1$ dimensions, which is important in the study of matrix models without scaling limit, known as two--Boson (TB) equation, as well as the associated hierarchy has been…
Superspace is considered as space of parameters of the supercoherent states defining the basis for oscillator-like unitary irreducible representations of the generalized superconformal group SU(2m,2n/2N) in the field of quaternions H. The…
It is known that Hirzebruch surfaces of non zero degree do not admit any constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metric \cite{ACGT,G,M17}. In this note, we describe how to construct Hermitian metrics of positive constant Chern scalar curvature…
We produce new examples of Riemannian manifolds with scalar curvature lower bounds and collapsing behavior along codimension 2 submanifolds. Applications of this construction are given, primarily on questions concerning the stability of…
Let $ X $ be an oriented, closed manifold with $ \dim X \geqslant 2 $. Let $ (Z, \partial Z) $ be an oriented, compact manifold with (possibly empty) smooth boundary and $ \dim Z \geqslant 2 $. In this article, we show that if the…
We construct a one-parameter family of properly embedded minimal annuli in the Heisenberg group Nil_3 endowed with a left-invariant Riemannian metric. These annuli are not rotationally invariant. This family gives a vertical half-space…
In this paper, we study the boundary behaviors of compact manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and with nonempty boundary. Using a general version of Positive Mass Theorem of Schoen-Yau and Witten, we prove the following theorem: For…
Gauge invariant chiral theories satisfying the reflection positivity is constructed on a lattice. This requires the introduction of "half gauge fields" defined some time ago by Brydges, Fr\"{o}hlich, and Seiler \cite{BFS}. A two-dimensional…
