We give conditions for topological and bi-Lipschitz equivalences within a class of mixed singularities of Pham-Brieskorn type. As a consequence, we construct infinite families that are topologically trivial but have distinct bi-Lipschitz…

We show that, by sampling a sufficiently large number of random points in a neighborhood of a compact submanifold M of a Riemannian manifold N, one can recover the topology of M with high confidence. This holds under the assumptions on the…

We prove that every two-dimensional quasisphere is the limit of a sequence of smooth spheres that are uniform quasispheres. In the case of metric spheres of finite area we provide necessary and sufficient geometric conditions for a…

We study a new bi-Lipschitz invariant \lambda(M) of a metric space M; its finiteness means that Lipschitz functions on an arbitrary subset of M can be linearly extended to functions on M whose Lipschitz constants are enlarged by a factor…

Given a general complete Riemannian manifold $M$, we introduce the concept of "local Moser-Trudinger inequality on $W^{1,n}(M)$". We show how the validity of the Moser-Trudinger inequality can be extended from a local to a global scale…

In this survey article we will consider universal lower bounds on the volume of a Riemannian manifold, given in terms of the volume of lower dimensional objects (primarily the lengths of geodesics). By `universal' we mean without curvature…

We consider the problem of finding complete conformal metrics with prescribed curvature functions of the Einstein tensor and of more general modified Schouten tensors. To achieve this, we reveal an algebraic structure of a wide class of…

Under some natural hypotheses, we show that if a multilinear mapping belongs to some Banach multlinear ideal, then it can be approximated by multilinear mappings belonging to the same ideal whose Arens extensions simultaneously attain their…

Using the method of De Lellis-Topping, we prove some almost Schur type results. For example, one of our results gives a quantitative measure of how close the higher mean curvature of a submanifold is to its average value. We also derive…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for a Riemannian product to be conformally equivalent to an Einstein manifold are given. Such spaces which are complete are characterized.

If one could assume that local coordinates in a Riemannian manifold were orthogonal, then local expressions for differential operators, and curvature computations, would be simplified. It is always possible on 2-manifolds, using geometric…

Let M be a smooth compact manifold without boundary. We consider two smooth Sub-Semi-Riemannian metrics on M. Under suitable conditions, we show that they are almost conformally isometric in an Lp sense. Assume also that M carries a…

We show that any Riemannian metric conformal to the round metric on $S^n$, for $n\geq 4$, arises as a limit of a sequence of Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature on $S^n$ in the sense of uniform convergence of Riemannian…

We consider the local sensitivity of least-squares formulations of inverse problems. The sets of inputs and outputs of these problems are assumed to have the structures of Riemannian manifolds. The problems we consider include the…

In this paper, we define the geometric median of a probability measure on a Riemannian manifold, give its characterization and a natural condition to ensure its uniqueness. In order to calculate the median in practical cases, we also…

In the present paper we deal with (local) infinitesimal isometries of special sub-Riemannian manifolds (a contact and oriented sub-Riemannian manifold is called special if the Reeb vector field is an isometry). The objective of the paper is…

In this article, we give results of prescribing scalar and mean curvature functions for metrics either pointwise conformal or conformally equivalent to a Riemannian metric that is equipped on a compact manifold with boundary, with…

The metric tensor of a Riemannian manifold can be approximated using Regge finite elements and such approximations can be used to compute approximations to the Gauss curvature and the Levi-Civita connection of the manifold. It is shown that…

In this article, we establish a $L^1$ estimate for solutions to Poisson equation with mixed boundary condition, on complete noncompact manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and compact manifolds with positive Ricci curvature…

This paper is a short summary of our recent work on the medians and means of probability measures in Riemannian manifolds. Firstly, the existence and uniqueness results of local medians are given. In order to compute medians in practical…
