We give characterizations of the bounded subanalytic $\mathscr{C}^\infty$ submanifolds $M$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ for which the space of Neumann regular functions is dense in Sobolev spaces. By ``Neumann regular function'', we mean a function…

We derive several new applications of the concept of sequences of Laplacian cut-off functions on Riemannian manifolds (which we prove to exist on geodesically complete Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature): In particular,…

We investigate a large class of elliptic differential inclusions on non-compact complete Riemannian manifolds which involves the Laplace-Beltrami operator and a Hardy-type singular term. Depending on the behavior of the nonlinear term and…

In this paper we extend to non-compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary the use of two important tools in the geometric analysis of compact spaces, namely, the weak maximum principle for subharmonic functions and the integration by parts.…

Associated to every closed, embedded submanifold $N$ of a connected Riemannian manifold $M$, there is the distance function $d_N$ which measures the distance of a point in $M$ from $N$. We analyze the square of this function and show that…

We prove essential self-adjointness for semi-bounded below magnetic Schr\"odinger operators on complete Riemannian manifolds with a given positive smooth measure which is fixed independently of the metric. Some singularities of the scalar…

Let $M$ be a strongly pseudoconvex complex manifold which is also the total space of a principal $G$-bundle with $G$ a Lie group and compact orbit space $\bar M/G$. Here we investigate the $\bar\partial$-Neumann Laplacian on $M$. We show…

This paper is concerned with "nice" compactifications of manifolds. Siebenmann's iconic dissertation characterized open manifolds M^m (m>5) compactifiable by addition of a manifold boundary. His theorem extends easily to cases where M^m is…

We consider a family of non-compact manifolds $X_\eps$ (``graph-like manifolds'') approaching a metric graph $X_0$ and establish convergence results of the related natural operators, namely the (Neumann) Laplacian $\laplacian {X_\eps}$ and…

We consider a complete biharmonic submanifold $\phi:(M,g)\rightarrow (N,h)$ in a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded from above by a non-negative constant $c$. Assume that the mean curvature is bounded from below by $\sqrt…

We prove that for any given compact Riemannian manifold $N$ of dimension $n+1 \geq 3$ and any non-negative Lipschitz function $g$ on $N$, there exists a quasi-embedded, boundaryless hypersurface $M \subset N,$ of class $C^{2, \alpha}$ for…

We establish the existence of analytic curves of eigenvalues for the Laplace-Neumann operator through an analytic variation of the metric of a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with boundary by means of a new approach rather than Kato's…

We study Riemannian manifolds $(M^n,g)$ with mean-convex boundary whose Ricci curvature is nonnegative in a spectral sense. Our first main result is a sharp spectral extension of a rigidity theorem by Kasue: we prove that under the…

We show that singular Riemannian foliations, or, more generally, manifold submetries, defined on a compact normal homogeneous space, have algebraic nature. Moreover, in this case there exists a one-to-one correspondence between algebras of…

Let $(M,g)$ be a non-compact riemannian $n$-manifold with bounded geometry at order $k\geq\frac{n}{2}$. We show that if the spectrum of the Laplacian starts with $q+1$ discrete eigenvalues isolated from the essential spectrum, and if the…

We prove that if a family of metrics, $g_i$, on a compact Riemannian manifold, $M^n$, have a uniform lower Ricci curvature bound and converge to $g_\infty$ smoothly away from a singular set, $S$, with Hausdorff measure, $H^{n-1}(S) = 0$,…

We show that any generalised smooth distribution on a smooth manifold, possibly of non-constant rank, admits a Riemannian metric. Using such a metric, we attach a Laplace operator to any smooth distribution as such. When the underlying…
