We consider how a closed Riemannian manifold $M$ and its metric tensor $g$ can be approximately reconstructed from local distance measurements. Moreover, we consider an inverse problem of determining $(M,g)$ from limited knowledge on the…

Let Y^n denote the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of a sequence M^n_i-> Y^n of v-noncollapsed riemannian manifolds with Ric_i\geq-(n-1). The singular set S of Y has a stratification S^0\subset S^1\subset\...\subset S, where y\in S^k if no tangent…

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…

We explore the geometric implications of introducing a spectral cut-off on Riemannian manifolds. This is naturally phrased in the framework of non-commutative geometry, where we work with spectral triples that are \emph{truncated} by…

Through the use of sub-Riemannian metrics we provide quantitative estimates for the maximal tight neighbourhood of a Reeb orbit on a three-dimensional contact manifold. Under appropriate geometric conditions we show how to construct closed…

We introduce the manifold of {\it restricted} $n\times n$ positive semidefinite matrices of fixed rank $p$, denoted $S(n,p)^{*}$. The manifold itself is an open and dense submanifold of $S(n,p)$, the manifold of $n\times n$ positive…

We study metric spaces homeomorphic to a closed oriented manifold from both geometric and analytic perspectives. We show that such spaces (which are sometimes called metric manifolds) admit a non-trivial integral current without boundary,…

This paper investigates the anisotropic Calder\'{o}n problem for Logarithemic Laplacian, on closed Riemannian manifolds, which could be considered as near Laplace operator. We demonstrate that the Cauchy data set recovers the geometry of a…

We study the base distribution in chart-based generative models on Riemannian manifolds. Standard methods sample in Euclidean tangent space and then map the sample to the manifold with a chart. This is convenient, but it changes the meaning…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold and $h$ a smooth function on $M$. Let $\rho^h(x)=\inf_{|v|=1}\left(Ric_x(v,v)-2Hess(h)_x(v,v) \right)$. Here $Ric_x$ denotes the Ricci curvature at $x$ and $Hess(h)$ is the Hessian of $h$. Then $M$…
