We study Leinster's notion of magnitude for a compact metric space. For a smooth, compact domain $X\subset \mathbb{R}^{2m-1}$, we find geometric significance in the function $\mathcal{M}_X(R) = \mathrm{mag}(R\cdot X)$. The function…
Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ with smooth boundary $\partial M$, admitting a scalar-flat conformal metric. We prove that the supremum of the isoperimetric ratio over the scalar-flat conformal class is…
In this article, we study strictly convex functions on Riemannian manifolds without focal points, a broad class of manifolds encompassing all Hadamard manifolds as well as a large collection of manifolds whose sectional curvatures change…
We prove weak and strong maximum principles, including a Hopf lemma, for smooth subsolutions to equations defined by linear, second-order, partial differential operators whose principal symbols vanish along a portion of the domain boundary.…
We provide an isoperimetric comparison theorem for small volumes in an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$ with strong bounded geometry, as in Definition $2.3$, involving the scalar curvature function. Namely in strong bounded…
In this note, we estimate the upper bound of volume of closed positively or nonnegatively curved Alexandrov space $X$ with strictly convex boundary. We also discuss the equality case. In particular, the Boundary Conjecture holds when the…
In this paper, we focus on a conformally flat Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$ of dimension $n$ isometrically immersed into the $(n+1)$-dimensional light-cone $\Lambda^{n+1}$ as a hypersurface. We compute the first and the second variational…

Let $(M^n,g)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold which is not isometric to $\mathbb{R}^n$, has nonnegative Ricci curvature, Euclidean volume growth, and quadratic Riemann curvature decay. We prove that there exists a set $\mathcal{G}\subset…
Consider a complete Riemannian manifold $M^n$ and let $\Sigma^n$ be an orientable hypersurface of the product manifold $M\times\mathbb{R}$ endowed with its standard product metric $\langle \,,\, \rangle.$ Let $\nabla\xi$ denote the gradient…
It was shown by B. Allen, R. Perales, and C. Sormani that on a closed manifold where the diameter of a sequence of Riemannian metrics is bounded, if the volume converges to the volume of a limit manifold, and the sequence of Riemannian…
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…
Moser's Bernstein theorem \cite{moser61} says that an entire minimal graph of codimension 1 with bounded slope must be a hyperplane. An analogous result for arbitrary codimension is not true, by an example of Lawson-Osserman. Here, we show…
For any closed orientable 3-manifold, there is a volume function defined on the space of all Seifert representations of the fundamental group. The maximum absolute value of this function agrees with the Seifert volume of the manifold due to…
Let f be an entire function of finite order less than 1. The maximum modulus M(r) of f and the counting function of the zeros N(r) are connected by a best possible growth inequality known as Valiron's Theorem: For functions subharmonic in…
If $\psi:M^n\to \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is a smooth immersed closed hypersurface, we consider the functional $\mathcal{F}_m(\psi) = \int_M 1 + |\nabla^m \nu |^2 \, d\mu$, where $\nu$ is a local unit normal vector along $\psi$, $\nabla$ is the…
Spaces where each element describes a shape, so-called shape spaces, are of particular interest in shape optimization and its applications. Theory and algorithms in shape optimization are often based on techniques from differential…
