For a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ with an (1,1)-elliptic Codazzi self-adjoint tensor field $A$ on it, we use the divergence type operator ${L_A}(u): = div(A\nabla u)$ and an extension of the Ricci tensor to extend some major comparison…

The set of totally geodesic representatives of a homotopy class of maps from a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature into a complete Riemannian manifold $N$ with no focal points is path-connected and, when…

For a given Riemannian manifold $(M^n, g)$ which is near standard sphere $(S^n, g_{round})$ in the Gromov-Hausdorff topology and satisfies $Rc \geq n-1$, it is known by Cheeger-Colding theory that $M$ is diffeomorphic to $S^n$. A…

In this paper, we study capillary graphs defined on a domain $\Omega$ of a complete Riemannian manifold $M$, where a graph is said to be capillary if it has constant mean curvature and locally constant Dirichlet and Neumann conditions on…

In this article, we characterize the distortion elements of the group of smooth diffeomorphisms of the circle and of the group of compactly supported smooth diffeomorphisms of the real line. More precisely, we prove that, in this context,…

We announce a generalization of Zimmer's cocycle superrigidity theorem proven using harmonic map techniques. This allows us to generalize many results concerning higher rank lattices to all lattices in semisimple groups with property $(T)$.…

A countable, bounded degree graph is almost finite if it has a tiling with isomorphic copies of finitely many F\o lner sets, and we call it strongly almost finite, if the tiling can be randomized so that the probability that a vertex is on…

Given a Q-Cartier divisor $S \subset X$ admitting a fibration $S \rightarrow B$ onto a curve we give sufficient conditions for the existence of a bimeromorphic contraction contracting S onto B. As a corollary we recover a contraction result…

We prove that if the normal distribution of a singular riemannian foliation is integrable, then each leaf of this normal distribution can be extended to be a complete immersed totally geodesic submanifold (called section) which meets every…

Let \((X,J,\omega)\) be a closed \(2n\)-dimensional almost K\"{a}hler manifold with negative sectional curvature. We prove that if the Nijenhuis tensor of the almost complex structure is sufficiently small, then the components of the…

We study the generalized existence of extremizers for the sharp $p$-Sobolev inequality on noncompact Riemannian manifolds in connection with nonnegative curvature and Euclidean volume growth assumptions. Assuming a nonnegative Ricci…

We consider surfaces with a double elliptic fibration, with two sections. We study the orbits under the induced translation automorphisms proving that, under natural conditions, the finite orbits are confined to a curve. This goes in a…

We complete the proof of the Nisnevich conjecture in equal characteristic: for a smooth algebraic variety $X$ over a field $k$, a $k$-smooth divisor $D \subset X$, and a reductive $X$-group $G$ whose base change $G_D$ is totally isotropic,…

In this paper, we study almost nef regular foliations. We give a structure theorem of a smooth projective variety $X$ with an almost nef regular foliation $\mathcal{F}$: $X$ admits a smooth morphism $f: X \rightarrow Y$ with rationally…

In this short note, we find a new gap phenomena on Riemannian manifolds, which says that for any complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, if the scalar curvature decays faster than quadratically, then it is…

Given a semistable degeneration with a simple normal crossings central fiber, Abramovich-Chen-Gross-Siebert [3] proved a degeneration formula that relates the moduli spaces of stable maps in smooth fibers to certain moduli spaces of…

The purpose of this article is twofold: to prove a pointwise equidistribution theorem with an error rate for almost smooth functions, which strengthens the main result of Kleinbock, Shi and Weiss (2017); and to obtain a L\'evy-Khintchin…

We study Riemannian manifolds with boundary under a lower Ricci curvature bound, and a lower mean curvature bound for the boundary. We prove a volume comparison theorem of Bishop-Gromov type concerning the volumes of the metric…

Reider's Theorem on the very ampleness of adjoint linear series on a complex projective algebraic surface is extended in two new directions. First, Reider-type inequalities are shown to imply nefness of linear series of the form dH - E on…

We introduce a new ``Winding Number Conjecture'' about maps from the $(d-1)$-skeleton of the $((d+1)(q-1))$-simplex into $\real^d$. This conjecture is equivalent to the Topological Tverberg Theorem. Furthermore, many statements about the…
