The classical Kodaira Vanishing Theorem states that Hi(X, {\omega}X \otimes L) = 0 for i > 0, where X is a smooth projective variety over C and L is an ample line bundle on X. We prove an analogous vanishing result under the assumption that…

Given a Riemannian metric on a homotopy $n$-sphere, sweep it out by a continuous one-parameter family of closed curves starting and ending at point curves. Pull the sweepout tight by, in a continuous way, pulling each curve as tight as…

A Beltrami field is an eigenvector of the curl operator. Beltrami fields describe steady flows in fluid dynamics and force free magnetic fields in plasma turbulence. By application of the Lie-Darboux theorem of differential geoemtry, we…
Let Riemannian metrics $g$ and $\bar g$ on a connected manifold $M^n$ have the same geodesics (considered as unparameterized curves). Suppose the eigenvalues of one metric with respect to the other are all different at a point. Then, by the…
On a Riemannian manifold with a positive lower bound on the Ricci tensor, the distance of isoperimetric sets from geodesic balls is quantitatively controlled in terms of the gap between the isoperimetric profile of the manifold and that of…
This article is concerned with the convexity properties of universal covers of projective varieties. We study the relation between the convexity properties of the universal cover of X and the properties of the pullback map sending vector…
The spectral metric, defined by Schwarz and Oh using Floer-theoretical method, is a bi-invariant metric on the Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group. We show in this note that for certain symplectic manifolds, this metric can not be extended to…
