We introduce a fourth-order Willmore-type problem for closed four-dimensional submanifolds immersed in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and establish a connected sum energy reduction for the general fourth-order Willmore energy, analogous to the seminal…

In [3], Connes found a conformal invariant using Wodzicki's 1-density and computed it in the case of 4-dimensional manifold without boundary. In [14], Ugalde generalized the Connes' result to $n$-dimensional manifold without boundary. In…

A rigidity result for weakly asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with lower bounds on Ricci curvature is proved without assuming that the manifolds are spin. The argument makes use of a quasi-local mass characterization of Euclidean balls…
