We prove that the boundary of a (not necessarily connected) bounded smooth set with constant nonlocal mean curvature is a sphere. More generally, and in contrast with what happens in the classical case, we show that the Lipschitz constant…

The Delaunay metrics form a family of conformally flat, constant fractional Q-curvature metrics on a twice-punctured sphere. They are all (after a M\"obius transformation) rotationally symmetric and periodic, and admit several elegant…

We show that for given four points on the sphere and prescribed angles at these points, which are not multiples of $2\pi$, the number of metrics of curvature 1 having conic singularities with these angles at these points is finite.

We state that any constant curvature Riemannian metric with conical singularities of constant sign curvature on a compact (orientable) surface $S$ can be realized as a convex polyhedron in a Riemannian or Lorentzian) space-form. Moreover…

Distance functions of metric spaces with lower curvature bound, by definition, enjoy various metric inequalities; triangle comparison, quadruple comparison and the inequality of Lang-Schroeder-Sturm. The purpose of this paper is to study…

By using Gromov's $\mu$-bubble technique, we show that the $3$-dimensional spherical caps are rigid under perturbations that do not reduce the metric, the scalar curvature, and the mean curvature along its boundary. Several generalizations…
