A compactness theorem is proved for a family of K\"{a}hler surfaces with constant scalar curvature and volume bounded from below, diameter bounded from above, Ricci curvature bounded and the signature bounded from below. Furthermore, a…

In this paper, we first establish an $S^1$-equivariant index theorem for Spin$^c$ Dirac operators on $\mathbb{Z}/k$ manifolds, then combining with the methods developed by Taubes \cite{MR998662} and Liu-Ma-Zhang \cite{MR1870666,MR2016198},…

For any open hyperbolic Riemann surface $X$, the Bergman kernel $K$, the logarithmic capacity $c_{\beta}$, and the analytic capacity $c_{B}$ satisfy the inequality chain $\pi K \geq c^2_{\beta} \geq c^2_B$; moreover, equality holds at a…

A differential operator $D$ commuting with an $S^1$-action is said to be rigid if the non-constant Fourier coefficients of $\ker D$ and $\coker D$ are the same. Somewhat surprisingly, the study of rigid differential operators turns out to…

The main result of this article is a Llarull-type rigidity statement for scalar curvature on Riemannian spin manifolds with cone-like singularities in odd dimensions. The even dimensional analog was proven in an earlier work together with…

The formulation of a rigid body in relativistic quantum mechanics is studied. Departing from an alternate approach at the relativistic classical level, the corresponding Klein-Gordon and Dirac operators for the rigid body are obtained in…

We establish Bochner-type formulas for operators related to $CR$ automorphisms and spherical $CR$ structures. From such formulas, we draw conclusions about rigidity by making assumptions on the Tanaka-Webster curvature and torsion.

A differential operator introduced by A. Gray on the unit sphere bundle of a K\"ahler-Einstein manifold is studied. A lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian for the Sasaki metric on the unit sphere bundle of a…

A rigidity theory is developed for bar-joint frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ whose vertices are constrained to lie on concentric $d$-spheres with independently variable radii. In particular, combinatorial characterisations are established…

We revisit and generalize a recent result of Cederbaum [C2, C3] concerning the rigidity of the Schwarzschild manifold for spin manifolds. This includes the classical black hole uniqueness theorems [BM, GIS, Hw] as well as the more recent…

We take advantage of a rigidity result for the equation satisfied by an extremal function associated with a special case of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities to get a symmetry result for a larger set of inequali-ties. The main…

This paper establishes strong profinite rigidity results for K\"ahler groups, showing that certain groups are determined within the class of residually finite K\"ahler groups by their profinite completion. Examples include products of…

In this work, optimal rigidity results for eigenvalues on K\"ahler manifolds with positive Ricci lower bound are established. More precisely, for those K\"ahler manifolds whose first eigenvalue agrees with the Ricci lower bound, we show…

We consider here operators which are sum of (possibly) fractional derivatives, with (possibly different) order. The main constructive assumption is that the operator is of order~$2$ in one variable. By constructing an explicit barrier, we…
