We study a higher order conformally coupled scalar tensor theory endowed with a covariant geometric constraint relating the scalar curvature with the Gauss-Bonnet scalar. It is a particular Horndeski theory including a canonical kinetic…

This paper relates the spectrum of the scalar Laplacian of an asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein metric to the conformal geometry of its ``ideal boundary'' at infinity. It follows from work of R. Mazzeo that the essential spectrum of such a…

In this note we prove an existence result for the Einstein conformal constraint equations for metrics with vanishing Yamabe invariant assuming that the TT-tensor is small in $L^2$.

The Yamabe problem concerns finding a conformal metric on a given closed Riemannian manifold so that it has constant scalar curvature. This paper concerns mainly a fully nonlinear version of the Yamabe problem and the corresponding…

In this paper, we construct Poincar\'e-Einstein 4-manifolds with various kinds of cusps. In particular, we construct: (1) Infinite families of Einstein metrics on $(0,\infty)\times \mathscr{N}$, where $\mathscr{N}\to T^2$ is a principal…

This paper presents conformal invariants for Riemannian manifolds of dimension greater than or equal to four whose vanishing is necessary for a Riemannian manifold to be conformally related to an Einstein space. One of the invariants is a…

One says that a Riemannian four-manifold is \emph{weakly Einstein} if the three-index contraction of its curvature tensor against itself equals a function times the metric. Since this includes all four-manifolds that are Einstein, or…

In this paper we first use the result in $[12]$ to remove the assumption of the $L^2$ boundedness of Weyl curvature in the gap theorem in $[9]$ and then obtain a gap theorem for a class of conformally compact Einstein manifolds with very…

Given a probability measure $\mu$ supported on a convex subset $\Omega$ of Euclidean space $(\mathbb{R}^d,g_0)$, we are interested in obtaining Poincar\'e and log-Sobolev type inequalities on $(\Omega,g_0,\mu)$. To this end, we change the…

In this thesis, we investigate the method of conformal renormalization applied to theories with degrees of freedom beyond the metric ones. Specifically, we examine this method in the presence of a scalar field. To do this, as part of a…

We establish new sharp inequalities of Poincar\'{e} or log-Sobolev type, on geodesically-convex weighted Riemannian manifolds $(M,\mathfrak{g},\mu)$ whose (generalized) Ricci curvature $Ric_{\mathfrak{g},\mu,N}$ with effective dimension…

Let $(X^{n},g_+) $ $(n\geq 3)$ be a Poincar\'{e}-Einstein manifold which is $C^{3,\alpha}$ conformally compact with conformal infinity $(\partial X, [\hat{g}])$. On the conformal compactification $(\overline{X}, \bar g=\rho^2g_+)$ via some…

In this paper, we study isoparametric hypersurfaces in Finsler space forms by investigating focal points, tubes and parallel hypersurfaces of submanifolds. We prove that the focal submanifolds of isoparametric hypersurfaces are…

A piecewise constant curvature manifold is a triangulated manifold that is assigned a geometry by specifying lengths of edges and stipulating that for a chosen background geometry (Euclidean, hyperbolic, or spherical), each simplex has an…

On a Riemannian or a semi-Riemannian manifold, the metric determines invariants like the Levi-Civita connection and the Riemann curvature. If the metric becomes degenerate (as in singular semi-Riemannian geometry), these constructions no…
