For any 3-manifold M and any nonnegative integer g, we give here examples of metrics on M each of which has a sequence of embedded minimal surfaces of genus g and without Morse index bounds. On any spherical space form S^3/Gamma we…

Let $(S^2,g)$ be a convex surface of revolution and $H \subset S^2$ the unique rotationally invariant geodesic. Let $\varphi^\ell_m$ be the orthonormal basis of joint eigenfunctions of $\Delta_g$ and $\partial_\theta$, the generator of the…

We prove a compactness theorem for metrics with Bounded Integral Curvature on a fixed closed surface $\Sigma$. As a corollary, we obtain a compactification of the space of Riemannian metrics with conical singularities, where an accumulation…

Let $\Sigma$ denote a closed surface with constant mean curvature in $\mathbb{G}^3$, a 3-dimensional Lie group equipped with a bi-invariant metric. For such surfaces, there is a harmonic Gauss map which maps values to the unit sphere within…

Consider the surface measure $\mu$ on a sphere in a nonvertical hyperplane on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$, $n\ge 2$, and the convolution $f*\mu$. Form the associated maximal function $Mf=\sup_{t>0}|f*\mu_t|$ generated by the…

In this paper we study spherically symmetric monopoles, which are critical points for the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional over a disk in 3 dimensions, with prescribed degree and covariant constant at the boundary. This is a 3-dimensional…

We study metric spheres Z obtained by gluing two hemispheres of the Euclidean sphere along an orientation-preserving homeomorphism mapping the equator onto itself, where the distance on Z is the canonical distance that is locally isometric…

Among metrics of constant positive curvature on a punctured compact Riemann surface with conical singularities at the punctures, dihedral monodromy means that the action of the monodromy group globally preserves a pair of antipodal points.…

We study the set of Quantum Limits, and more generally, of semiclassical measures of sequences of eigenfunctions of perturbations of the Laplacian on the spheres $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ and $\mathbb{S}^{3}$ by point-scatterers. In the unperturbed…

We prove that any metric surface (that is, metric space homeomorphic to a 2-manifold with boundary) with locally finite Hausdorff 2-measure is the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of polyhedral surfaces with controlled geometry. We use this result,…

We establish a global rigidity theorem for Riemannian metrics without conjugate points on three-manifolds of the form $M = \Sigma \times S^1$, where $\Sigma$ is a compact orientable surface of genus at least 2. The main result states that…

All spherically symmetric Riemannian metrics of constant scalar curvature in any dimension can be written down in a simple form using areal coordinates. All spherical metrics are conformally flat, so we search for the conformally flat…

Recent works by the second author and Maxwell et al. have shown that the Einstein-scalar field conformal constraint equations are highly complex and generally intractable, even in the vacuum case. In this article, to gain a clearer…

We produce examples of complex algebraic surfaces with isolated singularities such that these singularities are not metrically conic, i.e. the germs of the surfaces near singular points are not bi-Lipschitz equivalent, with respect to the…

Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\mathbb{C}$ with hyperbolic metric $\lambda_\Omega(z)|dz|$ of Gaussian curvature $-4.$ Mejia and Minda proved in their 1990 paper that $\Omega$ is (Euclidean) convex if and only if…

On a $2m$-dimensional closed manifold we investigate the existence of prescribed $Q$-curvature metrics with conical singularities. We present here a general existence and multiplicity result in the supercritical regime. To this end, we…

We prove invariance theorems for general inequalities of different metrics and apply them to limit relations between the sharp constants in the multivariate Markov-Bernstein-Nikolskii type inequalities with the polyharmonic operator for…

We introduce a new method of symmetrization of mappings on the $n$-sphere ($n\geq 2$). They are applied to estimate solutions of quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations of $p$-Laplacian type, with combinations of Dirac measures…

We revisit the well-established regularity estimates on harmonic maps on surfaces to question their independence with respect to the dimension of the target manifold. We are mainly interested in harmonic maps into target ellipsoids, that we…

We view all smooth metrics $g$ on a closed surface $\Sigma$ through their Nash isometric embeddings $f_g: (\Sigma,g) \rightarrow (\mathbb{S}^{\tilde{n}}, \tilde{g})$ into a standard sphere of large, but fixed, dimension $\tilde{n}$. We…
