Let (M,g) be a non-compact and complete Riemannian manifold with minimal horospheres and infinite injectivity radius. We prove that bounded functions on (M,g) satisfying the mean-value property are constant. We extend thus a result of A.…

It is unknown whether every polycube (polyhedron constructed by gluing cubes face-to-face) has an edge unfolding, that is, cuts along edges of the cubes that unfolds the polycube to a single nonoverlapping polygon in the plane. Here we…

We formulate and prove the existence of an asymptotic duality along the fibers of the Green-Griffiths jet bundles over projective manifolds. The existence of global sections for these bundles and also for their dual sheaves has been…

We derive Price inequalities for harmonic forms on manifolds without conjugate points and with a negative Ricci upper bound. The techniques employed in the proof work particularly well for manifolds of non-positive sectional curvature, and…

Existence and non-existence results are established for quasilinear elliptic problems with nonlinear boundary conditions and lack of compactness. The proofs combine variational methods with the geometrical feature, due to the competition…

We prove an index theorem concerning the pushforward of flat B-vector bundles, where B is an appropriate algebra. We construct the associated analytic torsion form T. If Z is a smooth closed aspherical manifold, we show that T gives…

We prove a parametrized compactness theorem on manifolds of bounded Ricci curvature, upper bounded diameter and lower bounded injectivity radius.

We study the isoperimetric structure of Riemannian manifolds that are asymptotic to cones with non-negative Ricci curvature. Specifically, we generalize to this setting the seminal results of G. Huisken and S.-T. Yau on the existence of a…

Every 2-dimensional spine of an aspherical 3-manifold has the nonpositive towers property, but every collapsed 2-dimensional spine of a 3-ball containing a 2-cell has an immersed sphere.

We build a non-compact, orientable, hyperbolic four-manifold of finite volume that does not admit any spin structure.

We construct the first example of a coarsely non-amenable (= without Guoliang Yu's property A) metric space with bounded geometry which coarsely embeds into a Hilbert space.

For n>6, we show that if G is a torsion-free hyperbolic group whose visual boundary is an (n-2)-dimensional Sierpinski space, then G=\pi_1(W) for some aspherical n-manifold W with nonempty boundary. Concerning the converse, we construct,…

The purpose of this paper is to compare a classical non-holonomic system---a sphere rolling against the inner surface of a vertical cylinder under gravity---and a class of discrete dynamical systems known as no-slip billiards in similar…

We establish the validity of the isoperimetric inequality (or equivalently, an $L^1$ Euclidean-type Sobolev inequality) on manifolds with asymptotically non-negative sectional curvature. Unlike previous results in the literature, our…

We study the mean radius growth function for quasiconformal mappings. We give a new sub-class of quasiconformal mappings in $\mathbb{R}^n$, for $n\geq 2$, called bounded integrable parameterization mappings, or BIP maps for short. These…

We consider some nonlinear elliptic equations on ${\mathbb R}^n$ and ${\mathbb S}^n$. By the method of moving spheres, we obtain the symmetry properties of solutions and some nonexistence results. Moreover, by the global bifurcation theory,…

We show that many 3-manifold groups have no nonabelian surface subgroups. For example, any link of an isolated complex surface singularity has this property. In fact, we determine the exact class of closed graph-manifolds which have no…

We present a family of examples of two dimensional, hyperbolic complex manifolds whose envelopes of holomorphy are not hyperbolic.

We show that there is no bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism of $\mathbb{R}^2$ that maps a spiral with a sub-exponential decay of winding radii to an unwinded arc. This result is sharp as shows an example of a logarithmic spiral.

We show that all symplectically aspherical fillings of the unit cotangent bundle of a given odd-dimensional sphere are diffeomorphic to the corresponding unit co-disc bundle. The concept of fittings previously introduced is not needed.
