An Einstein manifold in four dimensions has some configuration of $SU(2)_+$ Yang-Mills instantons and $SU(2)_-$ anti-instantons associated with it. This fact is based on the fundamental theorems that the four-dimensional Lorentz group…

In this article we study the mechanical stability of spherically symmetric thin shells with charge, in Einstein-Maxwell and Einstein-Born-Infeld theories. We analyze linearized perturbations preserving the symmetry, for shells around vacuum…

We prove the instability of conformally K\"ahler, compact or ALF Einstein 4-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature which are not half conformally flat. This applies to all the known examples of gravitational instantons which are not…

In this paper we consider min-max minimal surfaces in three-manifolds and prove some rigidity results. For instance, we prove that any metric on a 3-sphere which has scalar curvature greater than or equal to 6 and is not round must have an…

We consider uniformly elliptic operators with Dirichlet or Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions on a domain $\Omega $ in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$. We consider deformations $\phi (\Omega)$ of $\Omega $ obtained by means of a locally Lipschitz…

We show the regularity of, and derive a-priori estimates for (weakly) harmonic maps from a Riemannian manifold into a Euclidean sphere under the assumption that the image avoids some neighborhood of a half-equator. The proofs combine…

Minkowski space is shown to be globally stable as a solution to the Einstein--Vlasov system in the case when all particles have zero mass. The proof proceeds by showing that the matter must be supported in the "wave zone", and then proving…

We prove that static, spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat, regular solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations are unstable for arbitrary gauge groups. The proof involves the following main steps. First, we show that the frequency…

A Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ is called \emph{weakly Einstein} if the tensor $R_{iabc}R_{j}^{~~abc}$ is a scalar multiple of the metric tensor $g_{ij}$. We give a complete classification of weakly Einstein hypersurfaces in the spaces of…

Let $(M^{n+1}, g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary B and nonnegative Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature. In this paper, we use the solvability of some elliptic equations to prove some estimates of the weighted mean curvature…

This paper examines minimal hypersurfaces in sub-Riemannian Heisenberg groups. We extend the celebrated Simons formula and Kato inequality to the sub-Riemannian setting, and we apply them to obtain integral curvature estimates for stable…
