On a manifold we term a hypersurface foliation a slicing if it is the level set foliation of a slice function -- meaning some real valued function $f$ satisfying that $df$ is nowhere zero. On Riemannian manifolds we give a non-linear PDE on…

We show that the prescribed Gaussian curvature equation in $\mathbb{R}^2$ $$-\Delta u= (1-|x|^p) e^{2u},$$ has solutions with prescribed total curvature equal to $\Lambda:=\int_{\mathbb{R}^2}(1-|x|^p)e^{2u}dx\in \mathbb{R}$, if and only if…

Let $(\Sigma, g_1)$ be a compact Riemann surface with conical singularites of angles in $(0, 2\pi)$, and $f: \Sigma\to\mathbb R$ be a positive smooth function. In this paper, by establishing a sharp quantization result, we prove the…

We study Gauss curvature for random Riemannian metrics on a compact surface, lying in a fixed conformal class; our questions are motivated by comparison geometry. Next, analogous questions are considered for the scalar curvature in…

We prove the existence of metrics with prescribed $Q$-curvature under natural assumptions on the sign of the prescribing function and the background metric. In the dimension four case, we also obtain existence results for curvature forms…

In this paper, we investigate a Kazdan-Warner problem on compact K\"ahler surfaces, which corresponds to prescribing sign-changing Chern scalar curvatures, and establish a Chen-Li type existence theorem on compact K\"ahler surfaces when the…

We present several rigidity results for Riemannian manifolds $(M^n,g)$ with scalar curvature $S \ge -n(n-1)$ (or $S\ge 0$), and having compact boundary $N$ satisfying a related mean curvature inequality. The proofs make use of results on…

We derive sufficient conditions for the surjectivity of the Cauchy-Riemann operator $\overline{\partial}$ between spaces of weighted smooth Fr\'echet-valued functions. This is done by establishing an analog of H\"ormander's theorem on the…

In this paper we give a new, and shorter, proof of Huber's theorem which affirms that for a connected open Riemann surface endowed with a complete conformal Riemannian metric, if the negative part of its Gaussian curvature has finite mass,…

Let $(M,g)$ be a complete three dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary $\partial M$. Given smooth functions $K(x)>0$ and $c(x)$ defined on $M$ and $\partial M$, respectively, it is natural to ask whether there exist metrics conformal…

In this paper, we investigate a class of quadratic Riemannian curvature functionals on closed smooth manifold $M$ of dimension $n\ge 3$ on the space of Riemannian metrics on $M$ with unit volume. We study the stability of these functionals…

We use PDE methods as developed for the Liouville equation to study the existence of conformal metrics with prescribed singularities on surfaces with boundary, the boundary condition being constant geodesic curvature. Our first result shows…

Compact flat surfaces of homogeneous Riemannian 3-manifolds with isometry group of dimension 4 are classified. Non-existence results for compact constant Gauss curvature surfaces in these 3-manifolds are established.

Let G be a n-dimensional Lie group (n>2) with a bi-invariant Riemannian metric. We prove that if a surface of constant Gaussian curvature in G can be expressed as the product of two curves, then it must be flat. In particular, we can…

We prove that the image of an isometric embedding into ${\mathbb R}^3$ of a two dimensionnal complete Riemannian manifold $(\Sigma, g)$ without boundary is a convex surface provided both the embedding and the metric $g$ enjoy a…

Given a $C^1$ function $\mathcal{H}$ defined in the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$, an $\mathcal{H}$-surface $M$ is a surface in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$ whose mean curvature $H_M$ satisfies $H_M(p)=\mathcal{H}(N_p)$, $p\in M$, where…

Let $M$ be a $C^{2}$-smooth Riemannian surface. A classical theorem in differential geometry states that the Gauss curvature function $K : M \to \mathbb{R}$ vanishes everywhere if and only if the surface is locally isometric to the…
