We extend the Margulis Lemma for manifolds with lower Ricci curvature bounds to the $\text{RCD}(K,N)$ setting. As one of our main tools, we obtain improved regularity estimates for Regular Langrangian flows on these spaces.

For any $n$-dimensional compact spin Riemannian manifold $M$ with a given spin structure and a spinor bundle $\Sigma M$, and any compact Riemannian manifold $N$, we show an $\epsilon$-regularity theorem for weakly Dirac-harmonic maps . As a…

In this paper we prove that a metric measure space $(X,d,m)$ satisfying the finite Riemannian curvature-dimension condition ${\sf RCD}(K,N)$ is non-branching and that tangent cones from the same sequence of rescalings are H\"older…

We develop a "local theory" of multidimensional quasiperiodic $\SL(2,\R)$ cocycles which are not homotopic to a constant. It describes a $C^1$-open neighborhood of cocycles of rotations and applies irrespective of arithmetic conditions on…

An explicit lower bound for the mass of an asymptotically flat Riemannian 3-manifold is given in terms of linear growth harmonic functions and scalar curvature. As a consequence, a new proof of the positive mass theorem is achieved in…

In this paper, we prove that associated with a sub-static asymptotically flat manifold endowed with a harmonic potential there is a one-parameter family $\{F_{\beta}\}$ of functions which are monotone along the level-set flow of the…

We show that K\"ahler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities along simple normal crossing (SNC) divisors define RCD spaces, both in the compact setting and in certain non-compact cases, thereby producing many examples of Einstein RCD…

In this paper, we study some structure properties on the (revised) fundamental group of RCD(0,N) spaces. Our main result generalizes earlier work of Sormani on Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and small linear diameter…

In this article, logarithmically complete monotonicity properties of some functions such as $\frac1{[\Gamma(x+1)]^{1/x}}$, $\frac{[{\Gamma(x+\alpha+1)}]^{1/(x+\alpha)}}{[{\Gamma(x+1)}]^{1/x}}$, $\frac{[\Gamma(x+1)]^{1/x}}{(x+1)^\alpha}$ and…

The celebrated Almgren monotonicity formula for harmonic functions $u:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ says that its $L^2-$energy concentrated on a sphere of radius $r$, when measured in a suitable sense, is non-decreasing: if $u$…

We prove the existence of nonconstant harmonic maps of optimal regularity from an arbitrary closed manifold $(M^n,g)$ of dimension $n>2$ to any closed, non-aspherical manifold $N$ containing no stable minimal two-spheres. In particular,…

Using the electrostatic potential $u$ due to a uniformly charged body $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 3$, we introduce a family of monotone quantities associated with the level set flow of $u$. The derived monotonicity formulas are…

We prove the general sharp mean value inequality for non-negative superharmonic functions and its corresponding rigidity, which removes the radius restriction of Schoen-Yau's classical result about this inequality. And we obtain an explicit…

We study the modified Ricci solitons as a new class of Einstein type metrics that contains both Ricci solitons and $n$-quasi-Einstein metrics. This class is closely related to the construction of the Ricci solitons that are realised as…
