We find new obstructions to the existence of complete Riemannian metric of nonnegative sectional curvature on manifolds with infinite fundamental groups. In particular, we construct many examples of vector bundles whose total spaces admit…

We prove that there is no faithful finite-dimensional representation by skew-hermitian matrices of a ``basic algebra of observables'' B on a noncompact symplectic manifold M. Consequently there exists no finite-dimensional quantization of…

We present a short and self-contained proof of the extension property for partial isometries of the class of all finite metric spaces.

We study the finite frame property of some extensions of Fitting, Marek, and Truszczy\'nski's pure logic of necessitation $\mathbf{N}$. For any natural numbers $m, n$, we introduce the logic $\mathbf{N}^+\mathbf{A}_{m, n}$ by adding the…

The non-existence of non-trivial conformally symmetric manifolds in the three-dimensional Riemannian setting is shown. In Lorentzian signature, a complete local classification is obtained. Furthermore, the isometry classes are examined.

In this paper, we prove that the Extended Courant Property fails to be true for certain smooth, strictly convex domains with Neumann boundary condition: there exists a linear combination of a second and a first Neumann eigenfunctions, with…

We give obstructions for a noncompact manifold to admit a complete Riemannian metric with (nonuniformly) positive scalar curvature. We treat both the finite volume and infinite volume cases.

We prove that there is no non-trivial integral positive solution to the generalized Fermat equation.

By means of a general gluing and conformal-deformation construction, we prove that any smooth, metrically complete Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary can be realized as a closed domain into a smooth, geodesically complete Riemannan…

We give a sufficient condition to rule out complete Riemannian metrics with nonnegative scalar curvature on the interiors of handlebodies. In higher dimensions, we give examples of ends of manifolds with positive scalar curvature metrics.

For a complete noncompact connected Riemannian manifold with bounded geometry, we prove a compactness result for sequences of finite perimeter sets with uniformly bounded volume and perimeter in a larger space obtained by adding limit…

We analyse the existence question for essential laminations in 3-manifolds. The purpose is to prove that there are infinitely many closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds which do not admit essential laminations. This answers in the negative a…

In this paper, we prove that any closed orientable 3-manifold $M$ other than $\#^k S^1\times S^2$ and $S^3$ satisfies the following properties: (1) For any compact orientable 4-manifold $N$ bounded by $M$, the inclusion does not induce an…

We show that the metric universal cover of a plane with a puncture yields an example of a nonstandard hull properly containing the metric completion of a metric space. As mentioned by do Carmo, a nonextendible Riemannian manifold can be…

The two-dimensional Jacobian Conjecture says that a Keller map $f: (x,y) \mapsto (p,q) \in k[x,y]^2$ having an invertible Jacobian is an automorphism of $k[x,y]$. We prove that there is no Keller map with $[k(x,y): k(p,q)]$ prime.

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for $k$-step nilmanifolds associated with graphs $(k \geq 3)$ to admit Anosov automorphisms. We also prove nonexistence of Anosov automorphisms on certain classes of 2-step and 3-step…

For a complete noncompact connected Riemannian manifold with bounded geometry, we prove the existence of isoperimetric regions in a larger space obtained by adding finitely many limit manifolds at infinity. As one of many possible…

Motivated by the classical results by Halmos and Rokhlin on the genericity of weakly but not strongly mixing transformations and the Furstenberg tower construction, we show that weakly but not strongly mixing extensions on a fixed product…

In this note we prove that a generic Riemannian manifold of dimension $\geq 3$ does not admit any nontrivial local conformal diffeomorphisms. This is a conformal analog of a result of Sunada concerning local isometries, and makes precise…

We show that the product of infranilmanifolds with certain aspherical closed manifolds do not support Anosov diffeomorphisms. As a special case, we obtain that products of a nilmanifold and negatively curved manifolds of dimension at least…
