We present an explicit construction of closed oriented aspherical smooth 4-manifolds with $\chi = \sigma = n$ for every positive integer $n$. This proves a conjecture of Edmonds by providing a closed oriented aspherical 4-manifold with…

We obtain sufficient conditions exlcuding the existence of non-trivial distribution sections of bundles over the boundary of symmetric spaces of negative curvature which are invariant with respect to a geometrically finite group of…

A Riemannian manifold is said to have infinite $\mathcal{KO}$-width if it admits an isometric immersion of an arbitrarily wide Riemannian band whose inward boundary has non-trivial higher index. In this paper we prove that if a closed spin…

We give a simple proof of the following result: There exists a non-convex polyhedron whose surface is isometric to the surface of a cube of smaller volume.

In this paper we establish a Nadel-type vanishing theorem on a projective manifold $X$ concerning the asymptotic multiplier ideal sheaf.

We show that for an immersed two-sided minimal surface in $R^3$, there is a lower bound on the index depending on the genus and number of ends. Using this, we show the nonexistence of an embedded minimal surface in $R^3$ of index $2$, as…

Combining a characterisation by B\'elair, Kaplan, Scanlon and Wagner of certain $\rm NIP$ valued fields of characteristic $p$ with Dickson's construction of cyclic algebras, we provide examples of noncommutative $\rm NIP$ division ring of…

The Borel Conjecture predicts that closed aspherical manifolds are topological rigid. We want to investigate when a non-aspherical oriented connected closed manifold M is topological rigid in the following sense. If f: N --> M is an…

We prove nontangential asymptotic limits of the Bergman kernel on the diagonal, and the Bergman metric and its holomorphic sectional curvature at exponentially flat infinite type boundary points of smooth bounded pseudoconvex domains in…

This paper proves several natural generalizations of the theorem that for a generic, $C^k$ Riemannian metric on a smooth manifold, there are no closed, embedded, minimal submanifolds with nontrivial jacobi fields.

We study the vibrational spectrum of a constrained classical ring. Due to the presence of 2-order exceptional points, a topologically trivial band at the infinity can make the vibrational band topologically nontrivial. The symmetry, which…

In this article we construct closed, isospectral, non-isometric locally symmetric manifolds. We have three main results. First, we construct arbitrarily large sets of closed, isospectral, non-isometric manifolds. Second, we show the growth…

We construct examples of geometrically decomposable aspherical 4-manifolds with non-zero signature. We show that all such 4-manifolds satisfy the inequality (of Bogomolov--Miyaoka--Yau type) $\chi\geq 3|\sigma|$. We also construct examples…

Applying a result of abstract ring theory we get that bijective additive mappings on standard algebras of unbounded operators preserving zero products are multiples of ring isomorphisms. The structure of additive bijective mappings on…

We find the first smooth microstate geometries with non-Abelian fields. The solutions constitute an extension of the BPS three-charge smooth microstates. These consist in general families of regular supersymmetric solutions with non-trivial…

We introduce a method of geometric quantization for compact $b$-symplectic manifolds in terms of the index of an Atiyah-Patodi-Singer (APS) boundary value problem. We show further that b-symplectic manifolds have canonical Spin-c structures…

We show that there exist closed manifolds with arbitrarily small transcendental simplicial volumes. Moreover, we exhibit an explicit uncountable family of (transcendental) real numbers that are not realised as the simplicial volume of a…

For a complete noncompact connected Riemannian manifold with bounded geometry, we prove the existence of isoperimetric regions in a larger space obtained by adding finitely many limit manifolds at infinity. As one of many possible…

We show there exist no nontrivial semidualizing modules for nonmodular rings of invariants of order $p^n$ with $p$ a prime.
