We classify all closed, aspherical Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover has indiscrete isometry group. One sample application is the theorem that any such M with word-hyperbolic fundamental group must be isometric to a negatively…

We prove that the defocusing quintic wave equation, with Neumann boundary conditions, is globally wellposed on $H^1_N(\Omega) \times L^2(\Omega)$ for any smooth (compact) domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$. The proof relies on one hand on…

We establish space-time dispersive estimates for solutions to the wave equation on compact Riemannian manifolds with bounded sectional curvature, with the same exponents as for $C^\infty$ metrics. The estimates are for bounded time…

We study compact complex 3-manifolds admitting holomorphic Riemannian metrics. We prove a uniformization result: up to a finite unramified cover, such a manifold admits a holomorphic Riemannian metric of constant sectionnal curvature.

A homogeneous Riemannian manifold $(M=G/K, g)$ is called a space with homogeneous geodesics or a $G$-g.o. space if every geodesic $\gamma (t)$ of $M$ is an orbit of a one-parameter subgroup of $G$, that is $\gamma(t) = \exp(tX)\cdot o$, for…

It was conjectured by Lang that a complex projective manifold is Kobayashi hyperbolic if and only if it is of general type together with all of its subvarieties. We verify this conjecture for projective manifolds whose universal cover…

A Riemannian manifold is called harmonic if its volume density function expressed in polar coordinates centered at any point is radial. Flat and rank-one symmetric spaces are harmonic. The converse (the Lichnerowicz Conjecture) is true for…
