We study a class of two-dimensional compact extra spaces isomorphic to the sphere $S^2$ in the framework of multidimensional gravitation. We show that there exists a family of stationary metrics that depend on the initial (boundary)…

We consider rotationally symmetric spaces with low regularity, which we regard as integral currents spaces or manifolds with Sobolev regularity and are assumed to have nonnegative scalar curvature. Relying on the flat distance and on…

Let M be a complete non-compact connected Riemannian n-dimensional manifold. We first prove that, for any fixed point p in M, the radial Ricci curvature of M at p is bounded from below by the radial curvature function of some non-compact…

The real homology of a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ is naturally endowed with the stable norm. The stable norm on $H_1(M,\mathbb{R})$ arises from the Riemannian length functional by homogenization. It is difficult and interesting to…

We provide a short proof for the theorem that two compact Riemannian manifolds are isomorphic if and only there exists an order isomorphism which intertwines between the heat semigroups on the manifolds.

A subset $S$ of the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ is called orthogonal-pair-free if and only if there do not exist two distinct points $u, v \in S$ at distance $\frac{\pi}{2}$ from each other. Witsenhausen \cite{witsenhausen} asked the…

This paper considers metric balls $B(p,R)$ in two dimensional Riemannian manifolds when $R$ is less than half the convexity radius. We prove that $Area(B(p,R)) \geq \frac{8}{\pi}R^2$. This inequality has long been conjectured for $R$ less…

We obtain sufficient conditions for arrays of points, $\mathcal{Z}=\{\mathcal{Z}(L) \}_{L\ge 1},$ on the unit sphere $\mathcal{Z}(L)\subset \mathbb{S}^d,$ to be Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund and interpolating arrays for spaces of spherical…

Let $(M,g)$ be an $n$-dimensional $(n\geq 3)$ compact Riemannian manifold with Ric$_{(M,g)}\geq (n-1)g$. If $(M,g)$ supports an AB-type critical Sobolev inequality with Sobolev constants close to the optimal ones corresponding to the…

We show that if a compact, connected, and oriented $n$-manifold $M$ without boundary admits a non-constant non-injective uniformly quasiregular self-map, then the dimension of the real singular cohomology ring $H^*(M; \mathbb{R})$ of $M$ is…

For spherically symmetric relativistic perfect fluid models, the well-known Buchdahl inequality provides the bound $2 M/R \leq 8/9$, where $R$ denotes the surface radius and $M$ the total mass of a solution. By assuming that the ratio…

In this paper we show that the spherical cap discrepancy of the point set given by centers of pixels in the HEALPix tessellation (short for Hierarchical, Equal Area and iso-Latitude Pixelation) of unit $2$-sphere is lower and upper bounded…

We prove that, given $\alpha>0$, if $M$ is a complete Riemannian manifold which Ricci curvature satisfies.\[\operatorname*{Ric}\nolimits_{x}(v)\geq\alpha\operatorname{sech}^{2} (r(x)))\] or \[…

An analysis of radiating perfect fluid models with asymptotically AdS boundary conditions is presented. Such scenarios consist of a spherical gas of radiation (a "star") localised near the centre of the spacetime due to the confining nature…

Let $d\geq 2$ be an integer, $S^d\subset {\mathbb R}^{d+1}$ the unit sphere and $\sigma$ a finite signed measure whose positive and negative parts are supported on $S^d$ with finite energy. In this paper, we derive an error estimate for the…

We establish conditions for a continuous map of nonzero degree between a smooth closed manifold and a negatively curved manifold of dimension greater than four to be homotopic to a smooth cover, and in particular a diffeomorphism when the…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold with a distinguished point $O$ and assume that the geodesic distance $d$ from $O$ is an isoparametric function. Let $\Omega\subset M$ be a bounded domain, with $O \in \Omega$, and consider the problem…

Upper bounds are obtained for the heat content of an open set D in a geodesically complete Riemannian manifold M with Dirichlet boundary condition on bd(D), and non-negative initial condition. We show that these upper bounds are close to…

In this paper we consider the problem of how large the Hausdorff dimension of $E\subset\R^d$ needs to be in order to ensure that the radii set of $(d-1)$-dimensional spheres determined by $E$ has positive Lebesgue measure. We also study the…
