We study the set ${\rm vol}\left(M,G\right)$ of volumes of all representations $\rho\co\pi_1M\to G$, where $M$ is a closed oriented $3$-manifold and $G$ is either ${\rm Iso}_+{\Hi}^3$ or ${\rm Iso}_e\t{\rm SL_2(\R)}$. By various methods,…

A classical theorem of Bochner asserts that the isometry group of a compact Riemannian manifold with negative Ricci curvature is finite. In this paper we give several extensions of Bochner's theorem by allowing "small" positive Ricci…

A natural question in mathematical general relativity is how the ADM mass behaves as a functional on the space of asymptotically flat 3-manifolds of nonnegative scalar curvature. In previous results, lower semicontinuity has been…

We introduce a new geometric approach to a manifold equipped with a smooth density function that takes a torsion-free affine connection, as opposed to a weighted measure or Laplacian, as the fundamental object of study. The connection…

We study the fundamental group of an open $n$-manifold $M$ of nonnegative Ricci curvature with additional stability condition on $\widetilde{M}$, the Riemannian universal cover of $M$. We prove that if any tangent cone of $\widetilde{M}$ at…

We investigate the numerical approximation of (discontinuous) entropy solutions to nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws posed on a Lorentzian manifold. Our main result establishes the convergence of monotone and first-order finite volume…

We derive conditions for a nonholonomic system subject to nonlinear constraints (obeying Chetaev's rule) to preserve a smooth volume form. When applied to affine constraints, these conditions dictate that a basic invariant density exists if…

We show the existence of a bounded solution to the Cauchy problem for the complex Monge-Amp\`ere flow on a compact K\"ahler manifold, with the right-hand side of the form $dt \wedge d\mu$ where $d\mu$ is dominated by a Monge-Amp\`ere…

We develop the first steps of a parabolic pluripotential theory in bounded strongly pseudo-convex domains of Cn. We study certain degenerate parabolic complex Monge-Amp{\`e}re equations, modelled on the K{\"a}hler-Ricci flow evolving on…

Using techniques for Caccioppoli inequality, on a fairly general class of complete non-compact K\"ahler manifolds with sub-quadratic volume growth, we show uniqueness of bounded $C^{1,1}$ solution to Monge-Ampere equation. This does not a…

For $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds $M$ with Ricci curvature bounded below by $-(n-1)$, the volume entropy is bounded above by $n-1$. If $M$ is compact, it is known that the equality holds if and only if $M$ is hyperbolic. We extend…

The Bott-Chern cohomology of 6-dimensional nilmanifolds endowed with invariant complex structure is studied with special attention to the cases when balanced or strongly Gauduchon Hermitian metrics exist. We consider complex invariants…

The classical Busemann-Petty problem (1956) asks, whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in $\mathbb {R}^n$ with smaller hyperplane central sections necessarily have smaller volumes. It is known, that the answer is affirmative if $n\le 4$…

Let $\{g(t)\}_{t\in [0,T)}$ be the solution of the Ricci flow on a closed Riemannian manifold $M^n$ with $n\geq 3$. Without any assumption, we derive lower volume bounds of the form ${\rm Vol}_{g(t)}\geq C (T-t)^{\frac{n}{2}}$, where $C$…

Let $(M,g_0)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n \geq 25$ with positive Yamabe invariant $Y(M,g_0)>0$ and positive fourth-order invariant $Y_4(M,g_0)>0$. We show that, arbitrarily $C^1$-close to $g_0$, there exists a Riemannian…

For the moduli space of unmarked convex $\mathbb{RP}^2$ structures on the surface $S_{g,m}$ with negative Euler characteristic, we investigate the subsets of the moduli space defined by the notions like boundedness of projective invariants,…

We prove a generalization of the classical Poincar\'e-Lelong formula. Given a holomorphic section $f$, with zero set $Z$, of a Hermitian vector bundle $E\to X$, let $S$ be the line bundle over $X\setminus Z$ spanned by $f$ and let $Q=E/S$.…

In this study, we prove that the actions of the mapping class groups on a large range of higher Teichm\"uller spaces with a rank of at least two possess infinite Atiyah-Bott-Goldman covolume. This result encompasses $\mathsf{G}$-Hitchin…

Generalized Monge-Amp\`ere equations form a large class of PDE including Donaldson's J-equation, inverse Hessian equations, some supercritical deformed Hermitian-Yang Mills equations, and some Z-critical equations. Solvability of these…

Let $\mathcal{F} $ be a pointwise almost periodic decomposition of a compact metrizable space $X$. Then $\mathcal{F} $ is $R$-closed if and only if $\hat{\mathcal{F}} $ is usc. Moreover, if there is a finite index normal subgroup $H$ of an…
