Motivated by the existence problem of Fourier frames on fractal measures, we introduce Bessel and frame measures for a given finite measure on $\br^d$, as extensions of the notions of Bessel and frame spectra that correspond to bases of…

In this paper, we prove that if a metric measure space satisfies the volume doubling condition and the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality with the same exponent $n$ $(n\geq 2)$, then it has exactly the $n$-dimensional volume growth. Besides,…

Shape Dynamics is a theory of gravity that replaces refoliation invariance for spatial Weyl invariance. Those solutions of the Einstein equations that have global, constant mean curvature slicings, are mirrored by solutions in Shape…

We obtain expressions for the shear and the vorticity tensors of perfect-fluid spacetimes, in terms of the divergence of the Weyl tensor. For such spacetimes, we prove that if the gradient of the energy density is parallel to the velocity,…

On a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, we study the set of conformal metrics of negative constant scalar curvature in the interior and positive constant mean curvature on the boundary. Working in the case of positive Yamabe…

In the context of Rosenfeld's Fundamental Measure Theory, we show that the bending rigidity is not equal to zero for a hard-sphere fluid in contact with a curved hard wall. The implication is that the Hadwiger Theorem does not hold in this…

We prove various inequalities measuring how far from an isometry a local map from a manifold of high curvature to a manifold of low curvature must be. We consider the cases of volume-preserving, conformal and quasi-conformal maps. The…

We find a family of K\"ahler metrics invariantly defined on the radius $r_0>0$ tangent disk bundle ${{\cal T}_{M,r_0}}$ of any given real space-form $M$ or any of its quotients by discrete groups of isometries. Such metrics are complete in…

Let (M,g_0) be a compact Riemannian manifold with pointwise 1/4-pinched sectional curvatures. We show that the Ricci flow deforms g_0 to a constant curvature metric. The proof uses the fact, also established in this paper, that positive…

In this paper, we characterize locally dually flat and Antonelli $m$-th root Finsler metrics. Then, we show that every $m$-th root Finsler metric of isotropic mean Berwald curvature reduces to a weakly Berwald metric.

We establish a one-to-one correspondence between Finsler structures on the $2$-sphere with constant curvature $1$ and all geodesics closed on the one hand, and Weyl connections on certain spindle orbifolds whose symmetric Ricci curvature is…

We study equivalence of invariant metrics on noncompact K\"ahler manifolds with a complete Bergman metric of bounded curvature. Especially only the boundedness of the ratio between Bergman kernel and the $n$-times wedge product of Bergman…

We prove that every Berwald manifold with non-zero flag curvature is Riemannian. This result provides an extension of Numata and Szabo's rigidity theorems. We show that every positively curved constant isotropic Berwald manifold is…

In this note we study the Bochner formula on smooth metric measure spaces. We introduce weighted curvature conditions that imply vanishing of all Betti numbers.

A classical result of Wente, motivated by the study of sessile capillarity droplets, demonstrates the axial symmetry of every hypersurface which meets a hyperplane at a constant angle and has mean curvature dependent only on the distance…

We prove that, in a space-time of dimension n>3 with a velocity field that is shear-free, vorticity-free and acceleration-free, the covariant divergence of the Weyl tensor is zero if the contraction of the Weyl tensor with the velocity is…

We consider a special class of Finsler metrics --- square metrics which are defined by a Riemannian metric and a 1-form on a manifold. We show that an analogue of the Beltrami Theorem in Riemannian geometry is still true for square metrics…
