We prove a priori bounds for the trace of the second fundamental form of a $C^4$ isometric embedding into $R^{n+1}$ of a metric $g$ of non-negative sectional curvature on $S^n$, in terms of the scalar curvature, and the diameter of $g$.…

Pulling back complex structures along a branched covering induces a holomorphic isometric embedding of Teichm\"uller spaces. We show that for dimension at least $2$, all isometric embeddings arise from branched coverings. This generalizes a…

Let M be a compact Sasakian manifold. We show that M admits a CR-embedding into a Sasakian manifold diffeomorphic to a sphere, and this embedding is compatible with the respective Reeb fields. We argue that a stronger embedding theorem…

Using the $ku$- and $BP$-theoretic versions of Astey's cobordism obstruction for the existence of smooth Euclidean embeddings of stably almost complex manifolds, we prove that, for $e$ greater than or equal to $\alpha(n)$--the number of…

We show that any compact smooth real $n$-dimensional manifold $M$ with $n\leq 11$ can be smoothly embedded into $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$ as a polynomially convex set. In general, there is no such embedding into $\mathbb{C}^n$. This solves a…

We prove that a connected subcartesian space admits embedding in a Euclidean space. The Whitney Embedding Theorem is then stated as a corollary of our result. Based on the above result together with the theory of distribution on smooth…
