We show that the Morse index of a properly embedded free boundary minimal hypersurface in a strictly mean convex domain of the Euclidean space grows linearly with the dimension of its first relative homology group (which is at least as big…

In this paper, we study discrete approximations of semi-Dirichlet forms obtained by adding non-symmetric drift terms, expressed in terms of mutual energy measures, to resistance forms whose associated resistance metric spaces are compact.…

A noncollapsed $\mathbb{F}$-limit metric soliton is a self-similar singularity model that inevitably arises when studying the Ricci flow with the tool of $\mathbb{F}$-convergence [Bam20a,Bam20b,Bam20c]. In this article, we shall present a…

Using a non-negative curvature condition, we prove the complete version of modified log-Sobolev inequalities for central Markov semigroups on various compact quantum groups, including group von Neumann algebras, free orthogonal group and…

We consider different notions of equivalence for Morse functions on the sphere in the context of persistent homology, and introduce new invariants to study these equivalence classes. These new invariants are as simple, but more discerning…

We analyze the chain recurrent set of skew product semiflows obtained from nonautonomous differential equations -- ordinary differential equations or semilinear parabolic differential equations. For many gradient-like dynamical systems,…

Suppose $(M^n, g, f)$ is a complete shrinking gradient Ricci soliton. We give several rigidity results under some natural conditions, generalizing the results in \cite{Petersen-Wylie,Guan-Lu-Xu}. Using maximum principle, we prove that…

In our previous work we showed that for an ancient solution to the Ricci flow with nonnegative curvature operator, assuming bounded geometry on one time slice, bounded entropy implies noncollapsing on all scales. In this paper we prove the…

We investigate the almost sure asymptotic properties of vector martingale transforms. Assuming some appropriate regularity conditions both on the increasing process and on the moments of the martingale, we prove that normalized moments of…

We extend our recent results on propagation of semiclassical resolvent estimates through trapped sets when a priori polynomial resolvent bounds hold. Previously we obtained non-trapping estimates in trapping situations when the resolvent…

This paper is devoted to the asymptotic analysis of the optimal Sobolev constants in the semiclassical limit and in any dimension. We combine semiclassical arguments and concentration-compactness estimates to tackle the case when an…

Let $(M^{n+1},g,e^{-f}d\mu)$ be a complete smooth metric measure space with $2\leq n\leq 6$ and Bakry-\'{E}mery Ricci curvature bounded below by a positive constant. We prove a smooth compactness theorem for the space of complete embedded…

Generalizing earlier work by Ros in ambient dimension three, we prove an affine lower bound for the Morse index of closed minimal hypersurfaces inside a flat torus in terms of their first Betti number (with purely dimensional coefficients).

We develop causality theory for upper semi-continuous distributions of cones over manifolds generalizing results from mathematical relativity in two directions: non-round cones and non-regular differentiability assumptions. We prove the…

In this paper we consider the semi-continuity of the physical-like measures for diffeomorphisms with dominated splittings. We prove that any weak-* limit of physical-like measures along a sequence of $C^1$ diffeomorphisms $\{f_n\}$ must be…

We prove an extension of the Index Theorem for Morse-Sturm systems of the form $-V''+RV=0$, where R is symmetric with respect to a (non positive) symmetric bilinear form, and thus the corresponding differential operator is not self-adjoint.…

We investigate yet another approach to understand the limit behaviour of Brownian motion conditioned to stay within a tubular neighbourhood around a closed and connected submanifold of a Riemannian manifold. In this context, we identify a…

Motivated by questions arising in the study of the spectral theory of models of aperiodic order, we investigate sums of functions of semibounded closed subsets of the real line. We show that under suitable thickness assumptions on the sets…

Let $\phi^t$ be a continuous flow on a metric space $X$ and $I$ be an isolated invariant set with an index pair $(N,L)$ and a Morse decomposition $\{M_i\}^n_{i=1}$. For every category $\nu$ on $N/L$, we prove that $\nu(N/L)\leq…
