Given a complete Riemannian metric of nonnegative scalar curvature on $\Sigma \times (-\infty, 0 ] $, where $\Sigma$ denotes a $2$-sphere, we exhibit conditions that imply the existence of a closed minimal surface homologous to the…

We approximate functions defined on smooth bounded domains by elements of the eigenspaces of the Laplacian or the Stokes operator in such a way that the approximations are bounded and converge in both Sobolev and Lebesgue spaces. We prove…

Let (M,\omega) be a symplectic manifold, and Sigma a compact Riemann surface. We define a 2-form on the space of immersed symplectic surfaces in M, and show that the form is closed and non-degenerate, up to reparametrizations. Then we give…

We prove that the isoperimetric profile of a convex domain $\Omega$ with compact closure in a Riemannian manifold $(M^{n+1},g)$ satisfies a second order differential inequality which only depends on the dimension of the manifold and on a…

This article provides a brief discussion of the functional of super Riemann surfaces from the point of view of classical (i.e. not "super-) differential geometry. The discussion is based on symmetry considerations and aims to clarify the…

The phase space of a compact, irreducible, simply connected, Riemannian symmetric space admits a natural family of K\"ahler polarizations parametrized by the upper half plane $S$. Using this family, geometric quantization, including the…

Suppose $R$ is a commutative ring with identity and a fixed invertible element $q^{\frac{1}{2}}$ such that $q+q^{-1}$ is invertible. For an oriented surface $\Sigma$, let $\mathcal{S}(\Sigma;R)$ denote the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of…

We study some analytic properties of distance decreasing self-maps onto the complement of a smooth curve $\Sigma$ in $S^n$. For $n>4$ and $n\equiv 0 \mod 4$, let $\Sigma$ be an embedded circle in $S^n$ and let $g$ be a complete Riemannian…

Let S be an infinite-dimensional manifold of all symplectic, or hyperkahler, structures on a compact manifold M, and $Diff_0$ the connected component of its diffeomorphism group. The quotient $S/\Diff_0$ is called the Teichmuller space of…

Harmonic maps from Riemann surfaces arise from a conformally invariant variational problem. Therefore, on one hand, they are intimately connected with moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, and on the other hand, because the conformal group is…

We deduce a proof of the isomorphism theorem for certain closed subspace $\mc S^p_\Gamma(X)$ of the $L^p$-Schwartz class functions $(0< p \leq 2) $ on a Riemannian symmetric space $X$ where $\Gamma$ is a finite subset of $\what{K}_M$. The…

The symplectomorphism group of a 2-dimensional surface is homotopy equivalent to the orbit of a filling system of curves. We give a generalization of this statement to dimension 4. The filling system of curves is replaced by a decomposition…

Many coupled problems in engineering and science can be described by elliptic partial differential equations on adjacent domains, where the coupling can be considered either as a thin equidimensional overlap between the model domains, or as…

It is well-known that topological sigma-models in 2 dimensions constitute a path-integral approach to the study of holomorphic maps from a Riemann surface S to an almost complex manifold K, the most interesting case being that where K is a…

The results in the paper are related to the classification problem for invariant subspaces of multiplication operators in several variables. The main results consist of characterizations, in the two dimensional case, of ideals of…
