We prove a Riemannian positive mass theorem for manifolds with a single asymptotically flat end, but otherwise arbitrary other ends, which can be incomplete and contain negative scalar curvature. The incompleteness and negativity is…

Using standard results from higher (secondary) index theory, we prove that the positive scalar curvature bordism groups of a cartesian product GxZ are infinite in dimension 4n if n>0 G a group with non-trivial torsion. We construct…

In this paper, we confirm the Fino-Vezzoni Conjecture for unimodular Lie algebras which contain abelian ideals of codimension two, a natural generalization to the class of almost abelian Lie algebras. This provides new evidence towards the…

We consider embeddings of 3-manifolds in $S^4$ such that each of the two complementary regions has an abelian fundamental group. In particular, we show that an homology handle $M$ has such an embedding if and only if $\pi_1(M)'$ is perfect,…

The conjecture of Kosniowski asserts that if the circle acts on a compact unitary manifold $M$ with a non-empty fixed point set and $M$ does not bound a unitary manifold equivariantly, then the dimension of the manifold is bounded above by…

We construct an $A_{\infty}$-structure on the Ext-groups of hermitian holomorphic vector bundles on a compact complex manifold. We propose a generalization of the homological mirror conjecture due to Kontsevich. Namely, we conjecture that…

Let M be a Riemannian manifold and R its curvature tensor. For a unit vector X tangent to M at a point p, the Jacobi operator is defined by R_X = R(X, .) X$. The manifold M is called pointwise Osserman if, for every point p, the spectrum of…

We prove that a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $m \geq 3$ with harmonic curvature and $\lfloor\frac{m-1}{2}\rfloor$-positive curvature operator has constant sectional curvature, extending the classical Tachibana theorem for…

We study the existence of non--trivial solutions to the Yamabe equation: $$-\Delta u+ a(x)= \mu u|u|^\frac4{n-2} \hbox{} \mu >0, x\in \Omega \subset {\mathbf R}^n \hbox{with} n\geq 4,$$ $$ u(x)=0 \hbox{on} \partial \Omega$$ under weak…

Let M be an almost Hermitian manifold of dimension greater or equal to 6. The following theorems are proved: Theorem 1. If M is of pointwise constant {\theta}-holomorphic sectional curvature for a number {\theta} in (0,{\pi}/2) then M is of…

Let \( f: X \to Y \) be an algebraic fiber space, where \( X \) and \( Y \) are smooth projective varieties of dimensions \( n \) and \( m \), respectively. In \cite{Caopaun}, Cao and P\u{a}un proved \( C_{n,m} \) when \( Y \) has maximal…

Understanding the relationships between geometry and topology is a central theme in Riemannian geometry. We establish two results on the fundamental groups of open (complete and noncompact) $n$-manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and…

Using Auroux's description of Fukaya categories of symmetric products of punctured surfaces, we compute the partially wrapped Fukaya category of the complement of $k+1$ generic hyperplanes in $\mathbb{CP}^n$, for $k \geq n$, with respect to…

In this paper, we investigate manifolds for which the curvature of the second kind (following the terminology of Nishikawa) satisfies certain positivity conditions. Our main result settles Nishikawa's conjecture that manifolds for which the…

In this note we study globally homogeneous Riemannian quotients $\Gamma\backslash (M,ds^2)$ of homogeneous Riemannian manifolds $(M,ds^2)$. The Homogeneity Conjecture is that $\Gamma\backslash (M,ds^2)$ is (globally) homogeneous if and only…

In studying Nakayama's 1958 conjecture on rings of infinite dominant dimension, Auslander and Reiten proposed the following generalization: Let Lambda be an Artin algebra and M a Lambda-generator such that Ext^i_Lambda(M,M)=0 for all i \geq…

We study orbifolds of ${\cal N} = 4$ U(n) super-Yang-Mills theory given by discrete subgroups of SU(2) and SU(3). We have reached many interesting observations that have graph-theoretic interpretations. For the subgroups of SU(2), we have…

Extending previous work on geometric engineering of N=1 Yang-Mills in four dimensions for simply laced ($A_n,D_n,E_{6,7,8}$) gauge groups, we construct local models for all other gauge groups ($B_n,C_n,F_4,G_2$) in terms of F-theory. We…

Two structures $M, N$ in the same language are called probably isomorphic if they (or, in case of metric structures, their completions) are isomorphic after forcing with the Lebesgue measure algebra. We show that, if $M$ and $N$ are…

We show that a hyperbolic three-manifold $M$ containing a closed minimal surface with principal curvatures in $[-1,1]$ also contains nearby (non-minimal) surfaces with principal curvatures in $(-1,1)$. When $M$ is complete and homeomorphic…
