In all known explicit computations on Weinstein manifolds, the self-wrapped Floer homology of non-compact exact Lagrangian is always either infinite-dimensional or zero. We show that a global variant of this observed phenomenon holds in…

We consider embeddings of 3-manifolds $M$ in $S^4$ such that the two complementary regions $X$ and $Y$ each have nilpotent fundamental group. If $\beta=\beta_1(M)$ is odd then these groups are abelian and $\beta\leq3$. In general,…

We show that the fundamental groups of smooth $4$-manifolds that admit geometric decompositions in the sense of Thurston have asymptotic dimension at most four, and equal to 4 when aspherical. We also show that closed $3$-manifold groups…

A long-standing conjecture in non-K\"ahler geometry states that if the Chern (or Levi-Civita) holomorphic sectional curvature of a compact Hermitian manifold is a constant $c$, then the metric must be K\"ahler when $c\neq 0$ and must be…

Gromov's Conjecture states that for a closed $n$-manifold $M$ with positive scalar curvature the macroscopic dimension of its universal covering $\tilde M$ satisfies the inequality $\dim_{mc}\tilde M\le n-2$\cite{G2}. We prove this…

We describe up to finite coverings causal flat affine complete Lorentzian manifolds such that the past and the future of any point are closed near this point. We say that these manifolds are strictly causal. In particular, we prove that…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a complete $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold of finite volume, whose curvature tensor has nullity at least $n-2$, to be a geometric graph manifold. In the process, we show that Nomizu's…

Positive curvature and bosons Compact positive curvature Riemannian manifolds M with symmetry group G allow Conner-Kobayashi reductions M to N, where N is the fixed point set of the symmetry G. The set N is a union of smaller-dimensional…

In this article, we will prove the Generalized Nonvanishing Conjecture holds for threefolds with either $\kappa>0$ or $q>0$. As a result, we can prove the Iitaka conjecture $C_{n,m}$ holds for $n=7$ if the source space has non-negative…

The long-standing Alekseevskii conjecture states that a connected homogeneous Einstein space G/K of negative scalar curvature must be diffeomorphic to R^n. This was known to be true only in dimensions up to 5, and in dimension 6 for…

It was conjectured by Milnor in 1968 that the fundamental group of a complete manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature is finitely generated. The main result of this paper is a counterexample, which provides an example $M^7$ with ${\rm…

We study dimensional reduction of M5 branes on a circle bundle when the supersymmetry parameter is not constant along the circle. When the gauge group is Abelian and the fields appear quadratically in the Lagrangian, we can always obtain a…

We prove some general results on syzygies of smooth projective varieties with numerically trivial canonical line bundle. This allows to confirm several cases of Mukai's syzygies conjecture for finite quotients of abelian varieties in any…

The famous Nakayama conjecture states that the dominant dimension of a non-selfinjective finite dimensional algebra is finite. In \cite{Yam}, Yamagata stated the stronger conjecture that the dominant dimension of a non-selfinjective finite…

Let $M^n$ be a complete noncompact K\"ahler manifold with nonnegative bisectional curvature and maximal volume growth, we prove that $M$ is biholomorphic to $\mathbb{C}^n$. This confirms Yau's uniformization conjecture when M has maximal…

It is well-known that if we gauge a $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry in two dimensions, a dual $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry appears, such that re-gauging this dual $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry leads back to the original theory. We describe how this can be…

We formulate a conjecture relating the topology of a manifold's universal cover with the existence of metrics with positive $m$-intermediate curvature. We prove the result for manifolds of dimension $n\in\{3,4,5\}$ and for most choices of…

We prove a uniform version of a finiteness conjecture due to Rasmussen and Tamagawa in the case of CM abelian varieties. This extends recent results concerning CM elliptic curves to CM abelian varieties of arbitrary dimension.

We prove that a fundamental group of codimension one nonnegative Ricci curvature C2-foliation of a closed Riemannian manifold is finitely generated and almost abelian, i.e. it contains abelian subgroup of finite index. In particular, we…

Let M be an oriented compact positively curved 4-manifold. Let G be a finite subgroup of the isometry group of $M$. Among others, we prove that there is a universal constant C (cf. Corollary 4.3 for the approximate value of C), such that if…
