For smooth mappings of the unit disc into the oriented Grassmannian manifold $\mathbb G_{n,2}$, H\'elein (2002) conjectured the global existence of Coulomb frames with bounded conformal factor provided the integral of $|\boldsymbol A|^2$,…

We study Riemannian metrics on compact, torsionless, non-geometric $3$-manifolds, i.e. whose interior does not support any of the eight model geometries. We prove a lower bound "\`a la Margulis" for the systole and a volume estimate for…

Comparison theorems are foundational to our understanding of the geometric features implied by various curvature constraints. This paper considers manifolds with a positive lower bound on either scalar, 2-Ricci, or Ricci curvature, and…

Given an associative $\mathbb{C}$-algebra $A$, we call $A$ strongly rigid if for any pair of finite subgroups of its automorphism groups $G, H,$ such that $A^G\cong A^H$, then $G$ and $H$ must be isomorphic. In this paper we show that a…

This paper contains two results on the dimension and smoothness of radial projections of sets and measures in Euclidean spaces. To introduce the first one, assume that $E,K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ are non-empty Borel sets with…

We extend the celebrated rigidity of the sharp first spectral gap under $Ric\ge0$ to compact infinitesimally Hilbertian spaces with non-negative (weak, also called synthetic) Ricci curvature and bounded (synthetic) dimension i.e. to…

We derive a canonical symmetry reduction associated to a compact non-K\"ahler Bismut-Hermitian-Einstein manifold. In real dimension $6$, the transverse geometry is conformally K\"ahler, and we give a complete description in terms of a…

For an integral $2$-varifold $V=\underline{v}(\Sigma,\theta_{\ge 1})$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with generalized mean curvature $H\in L^2$ such that $\mu(\mathbb{R}^n)=4\pi$ and $\int_{\Sigma}|H|^2d\mu\le 16\pi(1+\delta^2)$ , we show that $\Sigma$…

We repurpose tools from the theory of quantitative rectifiability to study the qualitative rectifiability of measures in $\Bbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$. To each locally finite Borel measure $\mu$, we associate a function $\widetilde J_2(\mu, x)$…

Let $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ be a rotation and reflection free self-similar set satisfying the strong separation condition, with dimension $\dim K = s > 1$. Intersecting $K$ with translates of a fixed line, one can study the $(s -…

Let H be a discrete cocompact subgroup of SL_2(C). We conjecture that the quotient manifold X=SL_2(C)/H contains infinitely many non-isogeneous elliptic curves and prove that this is indeed the case if Schanuel's conjecture holds. We also…

We obtain global extensions of the celebrated Nash-Kuiper theorem for $C^{1,\theta}$ isometric immersions of compact manifolds with optimal H\"older exponent. In particular for the Weyl problem of isometrically embedding a convex compact…

Let E be an elliptic curve defined via a Weierstrass equation F(x,y)=0 over an infinite field k. Denote by A the coordinate ring of E. In this note we compute the integral homology of PGL_2(A). We obtain a rigidity result as a corollary.

The existence of a strict deformation quantization of $X_k=S(M_k({\mathbb{C}}))$, the state space of the $k\times k$ matrices $M_k({\mathbb{C}})$ which is canonically a compact Poisson manifold (with stratified boundary) has recently been…

We carry out a comprehensive study of quantitative homogenization of second-order elliptic systems with bounded measurable coefficients that are almost-periodic in the sense of H. Weyl. We obtain uniform local $L^2$ estimates for the…

We prove the following entropy-rigidity result in finite volume: if $X$ is a negatively curved manifold with curvature $-b^2\leq K_X \leq -1$, then $Ent_{top}(X) = n-1$ if and only if $X$ is hyperbolic. In particular, if $X$ has the same…

We describe the isometry group of $L^2(\Omega, M)$ for Riemannian manifolds $M$ of dimension at least two with irreducible universal cover. We establish a rigidity result for the isometries of these spaces: any isometry arises from an…

We derive a quantitative rigidity estimate for a multiwell problem in nonlinear elasticity. Precisely, we show that if a gradient field is L^1-close to a set of the form SO(n)U_1 \cup ... \cup SO(n)U_l, and an appropriate bound on the…

In this paper, we prove that any $W^{2,1}$ strong solution to second-order non-divergence form elliptic equations is locally $W^{2,\infty}$ and piecewise $C^{2}$ when the leading coefficients and data are of piecewise Dini mean oscillation…
