We prove in a direct, geometric way that for any compatible Riemannian metric on a Lie manifold the injectivity radius is positive

A manifold with a ``Lie structure at infinity'' is a non-compact manifold $M_0$ whose geometry is described by a compactification to a manifold with corners M and a Lie algebra of vector fields on M, subject to constraints only on $M…

We study the spectrum of complete noncompact manifolds with bounded curvature and positive injectivity radius. We give general conditions which imply that their essential spectrum has an arbitrarily large finite number of gaps. In…

We construct a infinite-dimensional manifold structure adapted to analytic Lie pseudogroups of infinite type. More precisely, we prove that any isotropy subgroup of an analytic Lie pseudogroup of infinite type is a regular…

We show that there is an upper bound on the injectivity radius of a hyperbolic 3-manifold in terms of the the number of generators of its fundamental group.

In this note, we prove that for a complete noncompact three dimensional Riemannian manifold with bounded sectional curvature, if it has uniformly positive scalar curvature, then there is a uniform lower bound on the injectivity radius.

We show that a Lie algebroid on a stratified manifold is integrable if, and only if, its restriction to each strata is integrable. These results allow us to construct a large class of algebras of pseudodifferential operators.

The ratio of convexity radius over injectivity radius may be made arbitrarily small within the class of compact Riemannian manifolds of any fixed dimension at least two. This is proved using Gulliver's method of constructing manifolds with…

The injectivity radius of a manifold is an important quantity, both from a theoretical point of view and in terms of numerical applications. It is the largest possible radius within which all geodesics are unique and length-minimizing. In…

In this paper we prove that if a point $p$ in a complete Riemannian manifold is not a cut point of any point whose distance to $p$ is $r$, then the injectivity radius of $p$ is strictly large than $r$. As a corollary we give a positive…

We propose the definition of a Manifold with a complex Lie structure at infinity. The important class of ACH manifolds enters into this class.

Motivated by the application to spacetimes of general relativity we investigate the geometry and regularity of Lorentzian manifolds under certain curvature and volume bounds. We establish several injectivity radius estimates at a point or…

We prove for the first time a pointwise lower estimate of the normal injectivity radius of an embedded hypersurface in an arbitrary Riemannian manifold. Main applications include: (i) a pointwise lower estimate of the graphing radius of a…

In this note we construct an infinite-dimensional Lie group structure on the group of vertical bisections of a regular Lie groupoid. We then identify the Lie algebra of this group and discuss regularity properties (in the sense of Milnor)…

We show that any proper Lie groupoid admits a compatible (real) analytic structure.

Green's inequality shows that a compact Riemannian manifold with scalar curvature at least $n(n-1)$ has injectivity radius at most $\pi$, and that equality is achieved only for the radius 1 sphere. In this work we show how extra topological…

We prove completeness for the main examples of infinite-dimensional Lie groups and some related topological groups.

A lower-bound estimate of injectivity radius for complete Riemannian manifolds is discussed in a pure geometric viewpoint and is applied to study tangent cones at infinity of certain gradient Ricci solitons. We also study the asymptotic…

We prove that direct limits of finite dimensional Lie algebroids and their prolongations can be endowed with structures of convenient spaces.
