We investigate an extended version of the stable Andrews-Curtis transformations, referred to as EAC transformations, and compare it with a notion of equivalence in a family of $3$-manifolds with boundary, called the {\emph{simple balanced…

It is natural to regulate an infinite-sized system by imposing a boundary condition at finite distance, placing the system in a "box." This breaks symmetries, though the breaking is small when the box is large. One should thus be able to…

The Positive Mass Theorem states that a complete asymptotically flat manifold of nonnegative scalar curvature has nonnegative mass. The Riemannian Penrose inequality provides a sharp lower bound for the mass when black holes are present.…

We construct the phase space of 3-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes that forms the bulk metric representation of the BMS group consisting of both supertranslations and superrotations. The asymptotic symmetry group is a unique copy…

We prove the positive mass theorem for manifolds with distributional curvature which have been studied in \cite{Lee2015} without spin condition. In our case, the manifold $M$ has asymptotically flat metric $g\in C^0\bigcap W^{1,p}_{-q}$,…

We establish a weighted positive mass theorem which unifies and generalizes results of Baldauf--Ozuch and Chu--Zhu. Our result is in fact equivalent to the usual positive mass theorem, and can be regarded as a positive mass theorem for…

A Hermitian symplectic manifold is a complex manifold endowed with a symplectic form $\omega$, for which the bilinear form $\omega(I\cdot,\cdot)$ is positive definite. In this work we prove $dd^c$-lemma for 1- and (1,1)-forms for compact…
