We obtain vacuum solutions in the presence of a cosmological constant in the context of the Weyl geometrical scalar-tensor theory. We investigate the limit when $\omega$ goes to infinity and show by working out the solutions that in this…

We study existence and stability properties of entire solutions of a polyharmonic equation with an exponential nonlinearity. We study existence of radial entire solutions and we provide some asymptotic estimates on their behavior at…

We show that an inhomogeneous compact extra space possesses two necessary features --- their existence does not contradict the observable value of the cosmological constant $\Lambda_4$ in pure $f(R)$ theory, and the extra dimensions are…

We study the problem of whether the curvature-dimension condition with negative values of the generalized dimension parameter is stable under a suitable notion of convergence. To this purpose, first of all we introduce an appropriate…

We show that a minimal disk satisfying the free boundary condition in a constant curvature ball of any dimension is totally geodesic. We weaken the condition to parallel mean curvature vector in which case we show that the disk lies in a…

Exploiting the special features of four-dimensional Riemannian geometry, we derive topological and rigidity results for hypersurfaces immersed in space forms of dimension 5. First, we provide a complete description of the Weyl tensor for…

We argue that conformal invariance in flat spacetime implies Weyl invariance in a general curved background metric for all unitary theories in spacetime dimensions $d \leq 10$. We also study possible curvature corrections to the Weyl…

We investigate (2+1)-dimensional gravity in a Weyl integrable spacetime (WIST). We show that, unlike general relativity, this scalar-tensor theory has a Newtonian limit for any dimension and that in three dimensions the congruence of world…

A closed set $F$ is Whitney 1-regular if for each compact $K\subset F$, the geodesic distance in $K$ is equivalent to the Euclidean distance. Let $P$ be the Chevalley map defined by an integrity basis of the algebra of polynomials invariant…

It was shown by Mondino-Wei that any $\mathrm{RCD}^{*}(K,N)$ space $(X,d,\mathfrak{m})$ has a universal cover. We prove that for any point $x \in X$ and $R>0$, there exists $r<R$ such that any loop in $B_r(x)$ is contractible in $B_R(x)$;…

It is a major problem in analysis on metric spaces to understand when a metric space is quasisymmetric to a space with strong analytic structure, a so-called Loewner space. A conjecture of Kleiner, recently disproven by Anttila and the…

We show that there are no new consistent cosmological perfect fluid solutions when in an open neighbourhood ${\cal U}$ of an event the fluid kinematical variables and the electric and magnetic Weyl curvature are all assumed rotationally…

We establish a number of foundational results on Poincar\'e spaces which result in several applications. One application settles an old conjecture of C.T.C. Wall in the affirmative. Another result shows that for any natural number n, there…

If $X$ is an infinite-dimensional uniform algebra, if $X$ has the Daugavet property or if $X$ is a proper $M$-embedded space, every relatively weakly open subset of the unit ball of the Banach space $X$ is known to have diameter 2, i.e.,…

We show that given a closed $n$-manifold $M$, for a generic set of Riemannian metrics $g$ on $M$ there exists a sequence of closed geodesics that are equidistributed in $M$ if $n=2$; and an equidistributed sequence of embedded stationary…

Extending Aubin's construction of metrics with constant negative scalar curvature, we prove that every $n$-dimensional closed manifold admits a Riemannian metric with constant negative scalar-Weyl curvature, that is $R+t|W|,…

In this note we give new proofs of rectifiability of RCD(K,N) spaces as metric measure spaces and lower semicontinuity of the essential dimension, via $\delta$-splitting maps. The arguments are inspired by the Cheeger-Colding theory for…

This is the second paper of two in a series under the same title ([CRX]); both study the quantitative volume space form rigidity conjecture: a closed $n$-manifold of Ricci curvature at least $(n-1)H$, $H=\pm 1$ or $0$ is diffeomorphic to a…

We study the class of vacuum (Ricci flat) six-dimensional spacetimes admitting a non-degenerate multiple Weyl aligned null direction l, thus being of Weyl type II or more special. Subject to an additional assumption on the asymptotic…
