Let $M$ be a compact orientable Seifered fibered 3-manifold without a boundary, and $\alpha$ an $S^1$-invariant contact form on $M$. In a suitable adapted Riemannian metric to $\alpha$, we provide a bound for the volume $\text{Vol}(M)$ and…

Given a unit vector field on a closed Euclidean hypersurface, we define a map from the hypersurface to a sphere in the Euclidean space. This application allows us to exhibit a list of topological invariants which combines the second…

For all nonsingular projective $n$-folds $V$ of general type, we prove the existence of Noether type inequalities in the following form: $$\text{vol}(V)\geq a_{n,k}h^0(\Omega_V^k)-b_{n,k}$$ where $0< k\leq n$, $a_{n,k}$ and $b_{n,k}$ are…

We show that the complex projective space has maximal degree (volume) among all n-dimensional Kahler-Einstein Fano manifolds admitting a holomorphic C^*-action with a finite number of fixed points. The toric version of this result,…

Germs of tubular neighborhood embeddings for submanifolds N of manifolds M are in one-one correspondence with germs of Euler-like vector fields near N. In many contexts, this reduces the proof of `normal forms results' for geometric…

Gray-Vanhecke conjectured that the volumes of small geodesic balls could determine if the manifold is a space form, and provided a proof for the compact 4-dimensional manifold, and some cases. In this paper, similar results for the…

This paper investigates timelike conformal vector fields on closed Lorentzian $3$-manifolds and shows that, although these fields form a broader class than Killing fields, their behavior in dimension three is nonetheless remarkably rigid.…

To compute the unique formal normal form of families of vector fields with nilpotent linear part, we choose a basis of the Lie algebra consisting of orbits under the linear nilpotent. This creates a new problem: to find explicit formulas…

We are interested in the geometry of the group $\mathcal{D}_q(M)$ of diffeomorphisms preserving a contact form $\theta$ on a manifold $M$. We define a Riemannian metric on $\mathcal{D}_q(M)$, compute the corresponding geodesic equation, and…
