Inspired by asymptotically flat manifolds, we introduce the concept of asymptotically flat graphs and define the discrete ADM mass on them. We formulate the discrete positive mass conjecture based on the scalar curvature in the sense of…
We consider complete asymptotically flat Riemannian manifolds that are the graphs of smooth functions over $\mathbb R^n$. By recognizing the scalar curvature of such manifolds as a divergence, we express the ADM mass as an integral of the…

We establish new mean curvature rigidity theorems for spin fill-ins with non-negative scalar curvature using two different spinorial techniques. Our results address two questions by Miao and Gromov, respectively. The first technique is…
The Dirac operator for a manifold Q, and its chirality operator when Q is even dimensional, have a central role in noncommutative geometry. We systematically develop the theory of this operator when Q=G/H, where G and H are compact…
We derive various pinching results for small Dirac eigenvalues using the classification of $\text{spin}^c$ and spin manifolds admitting nontrivial Killing spinors. For this, we introduce a notion of convergence for $\text{spin}^c$ manifolds…
We extend the concept of singular Ricci flow by Kleiner and Lott from 3d compact manifolds to 3d complete manifolds with possibly unbounded curvature. As an application of the generalized singular Ricci flow, we show that for any 3d…
We study a spinor-driven formulation of geometric evolution on closed $3$-manifolds, in which the spinor field is treated as the primary dynamical variable and the Riemannian metric is induced conformally by the spinor amplitude. We…
We consider a normalization of the Ricci flow on a closed Riemannian manifold given by the evolution equation $\partial_{t}g(t)=-2(Ric(g(t))-\frac{1}{2\tau}g(t))$ where $\tau$ is a fixed positive number. Assuming that a solution for this…

Geometrical tools, used in Einstein's general relativity (GR), are applied to dynamo theory, in order to obtain fast dynamo action bounds to magnetic energy, from Killing symmetries in Ricci flows. Magnetic field is shown to be the shear…
We present a monotonic expression for the Ricci flow, valid in all dimensions and without curvature assumptions. It is interpreted as an entropy for a certain canonical ensemble. Several geometric applications are given. In particular, (1)…

The spin connections of the Dirac field have three ingredients that are connected with the Ricci rotations, the Maxwell field, and an axial field which is coupled to the axial current. I demonstrate that the axial field provides an…
