The title is self-explanatory. We aim to give an easy to read and self-contained introduction to the field of harmonic manifolds. Only basic knowledge of Riemannian geometry is required. After we gave the definition of harmonicity and…

In 1977, Victor Guillemin published a paper discussing geometric scattering theory, in which he related the Lax-Phillips Scattering matrices (associated to a noncompact hyperbolic surface with cusps) and the sojourn times associated to a…

We obtain inequalities for all Laplace eigenvalues of Riemannian manifolds with an upper sectional curvature bound, whose rudiment version for the first Laplace eigenvalue was discovered by Berger in 1979. We show that our inequalities…

The symmetric rank-one update method is well-known in optimization for its applications in the quasi-Newton algorithm. In particular, Conn, Gould, and Toint proved in 1991 that the matrix sequence resulting from this method approximates the…

We provide a reduction in the classification problem for non-compact, homogeneous, Einstein manifolds. Using this work, we verify the (Generalized) Alekseevskii Conjecture for a large class of homogeneous spaces.

An important theorem about biharmonic submanifolds proved independently by Chen-Ishikawa [CI] and Jiang [Ji] states that an isometric immersion of a surface into 3-dimensional Euclidean space is biharmonic if and only if it is harmonic…

We show that, as conjectured by Adrien Douady back in 1972, every complete metric space is homeomorphic (moreover, isometric) to the locus of zeros of an analytic map between two Banach spaces. As a corollary, a paracompact topological…

The present work is concerned with Gaussian integrals on simply connected non-positively curved Riemannian symmetric spaces. It is motivated by the aim of explicitly finding the high-rank limit of these integrals for each of the eleven…

A short proof of the Caratheodory conjecture about index of an isolated umbilic on the convex 2-dimensional sphere is suggested. The argument is based on the study of geodesic lines near cone-type singularity of a metric induced by…

In the first part of this paper, we give a new look at inclusions of von Neumann algebras with finite-dimensional centers and finite Jones' index. The minimal conditional expectation is characterized by means of a canonical state on the…

All possible variants of symmetric embedding of the metric of the spatially flat Friedman model into a ten-dimensional ambient space are analyzed. It is shown that only two such embeddings exist: the five-dimensional embedding found by…

This paper is devoted to investigating the isometric immersion problem of Riemannian manifolds in a high codimension. It has recently been demonstrated that any short immersion from an $n$-dimensional smooth compact manifold into…

In 1989 H. Tverberg proposed a quite general conjecture in Discrete geometry, which could be considered as the common basis for many results in Combinatorial geometry and at the same time as a discrete analogue of the common transversal…

The class of quasisymmetric mappings on the real axis was first introduced by A. Beurling and L. V. Ahlfors in 1956. In 1980 P. Tukia and J. V\"{a}is\"{a}l\"{a} considered these mappings between general metric spaces. In our paper we…

We prove that every smooth compact submanifold of $\R^n$ can be approximated up to a small isotopy by the real locus of a nonsingular complex algebraic subset of $\C^n$ defined over $\R$. This settles a version of a conjecture posed in 1952…

In this paper, we solve affirmatively B.-Y. Chen's conjecture for hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space, under a generic condition. More precisely, every biharmonic hypersurface of the Euclidean space must be minimal if their principal…

Let $S=(a_1)\cdots(a_k)$ be a minimal zero-sum sequence over a finite cyclic group $G$. The index conjecture states that if $k=4$ and $\gcd(|G|,6)=1$, then $S$ has index 1. In this note we study the index conjecture and connect it to a…

WWe define the notion of a random metric space and prove that with probability one such a space is isometricto the Urysohn universal metric space. The main technique is the study of universal and random distance matrices; we relate the…

We consider an isoperimetric inequality for $(m+1)$-dimensional area minimizing submanifolds of arbitrary codimension which lie outside a convex set $\mathcal{K} \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ and are bounded by a submanifold of…

In this paper, we calculate H\"ormander index in the finite-dimensional case. Then we use the result to give some iteration inequalities, and prove almost existence of mean indices for given complete autonomous Hamiltonian system on compact…
