We express the $q$-th Gauss-Bonnet-Chern mass of an immersed submanifold of Euclidean space as a linear combination of two terms: the total $(2q)$-th mean curvature and the integral, over the entire manifold, of the inner product between…

This work generalizes a construction by Habermann and Jost of a canonical metric in a Yamabe-positive conformal class, which uses the Green function of the conformal Laplacian. In dimension $n=2k+1$, $2k+2$, or $2k+3$, if the $k$-th GJMS…

In this note, we consider the positive mass theorem for Riemannian manifolds $(M^{n},g)$ asymptotic to $(\mathbb{R}^{k}\times X^{n-k}, g_{\mathbb{R}^{k}}+g_{X})$ for $k\geq 3$ by studying the corresponding compactification problem.
