We develop a theory of Nobeling manifolds similar to the theory of Hilbert space manifolds. We show that it reflects the theory of Menger manifolds developed by M. Bestvina and is its counterpart in the realm of complete spaces. In…

A survey of problems, conjectures, and theorems about quasi-isometric classification and rigidity for finitely generated solvable groups.

In this paper, we prove some rigidity theorems for shrinking gradient Ricci solitons with nonnegative sectional curvature.

We study some versions of the statement of Hadwiger's conjecture for finite as well as infinite graphs.

We survey recent developments towards a proof of the Penrose conjecture and results on Penrose-type and other geometric inequalities for quasi-local masses in general relativity.

We study Novikov algebras and Novikov structures on finite-dimensional Lie algebras. We show that a Lie algebra admitting a Novikov structure must be solvable. Conversely we present an example of a nilpotent 2-step solvable Lie algebra…

Recently, it has been proven that a tensegrity framework that arises from coning the one-skeleton of a convex polytope is rigid. Since such frameworks are not always infinitesimally rigid, this leaves open the question as to whether they…

We present a relative form of the Toponogov comparison theorem.

We prove a global topological rigidity theorem for locally $C^2$-non-discrete subgroups of the group of real analytic diffeomorphisms of the circle.

In this note, we establish the validity of a conjecture recently proposed in Mathematics Magazine and connect it to the existing interesting results

We give a fresh introduction to the Khovanov Homology theory for knots and links, with special emphasis on its extension to tangles, cobordisms and 2-knots. By staying within a world of topological pictures a little longer than in other…

In this paper, we prove the coarse geometric $\ell^p$-Novikov Conjecture for metric spaces with bounded geometry which admit a coarse embedding into a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold of nonpositive sectional curvature.

We present a new approach to Morse and Novikov theories, based on the deRham Federer theory of currents, using the finite volume flow technique of Harvey and Lawson. In the Morse case, we construct a noncompact analogue of the Morse…

We use K-area homology to summarize some results about the Novikov conjecture and the Hirzebruch L-class. In fact, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for closed manifolds to have a homotopy invariant L-class. In order to obtain…

In this paper we prove the validity of Gibbons' conjecture for a coupled competing Gross-Pitaevskii system. We also provide sharp a priori bounds, regularity results and additional Liouville-type theorems.

The aim of this paper is to introduce an approach to the (strong) Novikov conjecture based on continuous families of finite dimensional representations: this is partly inspired by ideas of Lusztig using the Atiyah-Singer families index…

An alternative proof of Eliashberg-Gromov's C^0-rigidity theorem is presented and a new notion of weak Lie brackets for Hamiltonian vector fields is proposed and compared.

We generalize the Novikov inequalities for 1-forms in two different directions: first, we allow non-isolated critical points (assuming that they are non-degenerate in the sense of R.Bott), and, secondly, we strengthen the inequalities by…

Two conjectures recently proposed by one of the authors are disproved

We survey Kondrat'ev--Landis' conjecture, providing an up-to-date account of the main advances and describing the techniques developed. We complement the overview with references and formulations of the problem in further closely connected…
