The aim of this paper is to study foliations that remain invariant by parallel transports along the integral curves of vector fields of another foliations. According to this idea, we define a new concept of stability between foliations. A…
We present several rigidity results for Riemannian manifolds $(M^n,g)$ with scalar curvature $S \ge -n(n-1)$ (or $S\ge 0$), and having compact boundary $N$ satisfying a related mean curvature inequality. The proofs make use of results on…
We study the stability of topological structures in generalized models with a single real scalar field. We show that it is driven by a Sturm-Liouville equation and investigate the conditions that lead to the existence of explicit…
We generalize Llarull's scalar curvature comparison to Riemannian manifolds admitting metric connections with parallel and alternating torsion and having a nonnegative curvature operator on 2-vectors. As a byproduct, we show that Euler…
We introduce an intrinsic estimator for the scalar curvature of a data set presented as a finite metric space. Our estimator depends only on the metric structure of the data and not on an embedding in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We show that the…
We establish some a priori geometric relations on stable minimal surfaces lying inside three-manifolds with scalar curvature uniformly bounded below. The relations are based on a slight generalization of a formula due to Castillon. We apply…
Induced by proteins within the cell membrane or by differential growth, heating, or swelling, spontaneous curvatures can drastically affect the morphology of thin bodies and induce mechanical instabilities. Yet, the interaction of…
We introduce a general characterization of sudden cosmological singularities and investigate the classical stability of homogeneous and isotropic cosmological solutions of all curvatures containing these singularities to small scalar,…
We introduce partial secondary invariants associated to complete Riemannian metrics which have uniformly positive scalar curvature outside a prescribed subset on a spin manifold. These can be used to distinguish such Riemannian metrics up…
We propose a fast method to determine the local curvature in two-dimensional (2D) systems with arbitrary shape. The curvature information, combined with elastic constants obtained for a planar system, provides an accurate estimate of the…
This paper focuses on using curvature and torsion to describe the stability of linear time-invariant system. We prove that for a two-dimensional system $\dot{r}(t)= Ar(t)$, (i) if there exists an initial value, such that zero is not the…
This report contains a survey of examples of sequences of manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature including an extreme example with Wenchuan Tian and Changliang Wang. It announces a paper with Wenchaun Tian proving the GH and SWIF…
In this article, we found a connection between Brown-York mass and the first Dirichlet Eigenvalue of a Schr\"odingier type operator. In particular, we proved a local positive mass type theorem for metrics conformal to the background one…
Let $(M,g)$ be a closed connected oriented (possibly non-spin) smooth four-dimensional manifold with scalar curvature bounded below by $n(n-1)$. In this paper, we prove that if $f$ is a smooth map of non-zero degree from $(M, g)$ to the…
Quadratic scale-invariant gravity non minimally coupled to a scalar field provides a competitive model for inflation, characterized by the transition from an unstable to a stable fixed point, both characterized by constant scalar field…
We show a closed Bach-flat Riemannian manifold with a fixed positive constant scalar curvature has to be locally spherical if its Weyl and traceless Ricci tensors are small in the sense of either $L^\infty$ or $L^{\frac{n}{2}}$-norm.…
We construct smooth Riemannian metrics with constant scalar curvature on each Hirzebruch surface. These metrics respect the complex structures, fiber bundle structures, and Lie group actions of cohomogeneity one on these manifolds. Our…
We perform the study of the stability of the Lorenz system by using the Jacobi stability analysis, or the Kosambi-Cartan-Chern (KCC) theory. The Lorenz model plays an important role for understanding hydrodynamic instabilities and the…
The various scalar curvatures on an almost Hermitian manifold are studied, in particular with respect to conformal variations. We show several integrability theorems, which state that two of these can only agree in the K\"ahler case. Our…
In this paper, we give both positive and negative answers to Gromov's compactness question regarding positive scalar curvature metrics on noncompact manifolds. First we construct examples that give a negative answer to Gromov's compactness…
