Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold, $L(M)$ be its frame bundle, $O(M)$ its orthonormal frame bundle. For a distribution $D$ on $M$ we define a subbundle $L(D)\subset L(M)$ or $O(D)\subset O(M)$ in a natural way. This allows us to consider…

We show that one can lift locally real analytic curves from the orbit space of a compact Lie group representation, and that one can lift smooth curves even globally, but under an assumption.

We prove the universal lifting theorem: for an $\alpha$-simply connected and $\alpha$-connected Lie groupoid $\gm$ with Lie algebroid $A$, the graded Lie algebra of multi-differentials on $A$ is isomorphic to that of multiplicative…

We prove a transversality "lifting property" for compactified configuration spaces as an application of the multijet transversality theorem: the submanifold of configurations of points on an arbitrary submanifold of Euclidean space may be…

In this note, we prove that for a complete noncompact three dimensional Riemannian manifold with bounded sectional curvature, if it has uniformly positive scalar curvature, then there is a uniform lower bound on the injectivity radius.

We consider a quotient of a complete Riemannian manifold modulo an isometrically and properly acting Lie group and lifts of the quotient to the manifolds in optimal position to a reference point on the manifold. With respect to the pushed…

In this paper we generalize the main result of [4] for manifolds that are not necessarily Einstein. In fact, we obtain an upper bound for the volume of a locally volume-minimizing closed hypersurface $\Sigma$ of a Riemannian 5-manifold $M$…

The lifting theorem of Valdivia concerning (pre) compact sets and convergent (respectively, Cauchy) sequences from a quasi-(LB) space to a metrizable, strictly barrelled space is extended to a strictly larger collection of range spaces.…

In this paper, we are able to prove an analogy of the Calabi-Yau theorem for complete Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature which are aspherical at infinity. The key tool is an existence result for arbitrarily large bounded…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact orientable surface of finite type with at least one boundary component. Let $f \in \textup{Mod}(\Sigma)$ be a pseudo Anosov mapping class. We prove a conjecture of McMullen by showing that there exists a finite…

Let $M$ be complete nonpositively curved Riemannian manifold of finite volume whose fundamental group $\Gamma$ does not contain a finite index subgroup which is a product of infinite groups. We show that the universal cover $\tilde M$ is a…

Sixty years ago, S. B. Myers and N. E. Steenrod ({\it Ann. of Math.} {\bf 40} (1939), 400-416) showed that the isometry group of a Riemannian manifold without boundary has a structure of Lie group. Recently A. V. Bagaev and N. I. Zhukova…

We say that a PDE in a Riemannian manifold $M$ is geometric if,$\ $whenever $u$ is a solution of the PDE on a domain $\Omega$ of $M$, the composition $u_{\phi}:=u\circ\phi$ is also solution on $\phi^{-1}\left( \Omega\right) $, for any…

Let $Y\to X$ be a finite normal cover of a wedge of $n\geq 3$ circles. We prove that for any $v\neq 0\in H_1(Y;\mathbb{Q})$ there exists a lift $\widetilde{F}$ to $Y$ of a homotopy equivalence $F:X\to X$ so that the set of iterates…

Given a metrically complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with smooth nonempty boundary and assuming that one of its curvatures is subject to a certain bound, we address the problem of whether it is possibile to realize $(M,g)$ as a domain…

We give a notion of BV function on an oriented manifold where a volume form and a family of lower semicontinuous quadratic forms $G_p: T_pM \to [0,\infty]$ are given. When we consider sub-Riemannian manifolds, our definition coincide with…

We establish a sharp upper bound for the bottom spectrum of the Beltrami Laplacian on universal covers of closed Riemannian manifolds with scalar curvature lower bound. Moreover, we prove a scalar curvature rigidity theorem when this bound…

We discuss the rigidity (or lack thereof) imposed by different notions of having an abundance of zero curvature planes on a complete Riemannian 3-manifold. We prove a rank rigidity theorem for complete 3-manifolds, showing that having…

In a complete Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ if the hessian of a real valued function satisfies some suitable conditions then it restricts the geometry of $(M, g)$. In this paper we characterize all compact rank-1 symmetric spaces, as those…

We consider Sobolev maps from a planar domain into a closed Riemannian manifold and their BV liftings via a double covering of the target. We establish a sharp lower bound on the jump length of the lifting, expressed in terms of a geometric…
