In this paper, we study the volume growth property of a non-compact complete Riemannian manifold $X$. We improve the volume growth theorem of Calabi (1975) and Yau (1976), Cheeger, Gromov and Taylor (1982). Then we use our new result to…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain with $C^\infty$ boundary in an $n$-dimensional $C^\infty$ Riemannian manifold, and let $\varrho$ be a non-negative bounded function defined on $\partial \Omega$. It is well-known that for the biharmonic…

It was shown by Seaman that if a compact, oriented 4-dimensional riemannian manifold (M, g) of positive sectional curvature admits a harmonic 2-form of constant length, its intersection form is definite and such a harmonic form is unique up…

It is a well-known and elementary fact that a holomorphic function on a compact complex manifold without boundary is necessarily constant. The purpose of the present article is to investigate whether, or to what extent, a similar property…

The goal of this paper is to investigate the rigidity of 4-dimensional manifolds involving some pinching curvature conditions. To this end, we make use of the approach of biorthogonal curvature which is weaker than the sectional curvature.…

We construct and classify all polynomial growth solutions to certain drift-harmonic equations on complete manifolds with paraboloidal asymptotics. These encompass the natural drift-harmonic equations on certain steady gradient Ricci…

We prove that the problem of constructing biharmonic conformal maps on a $4$-dimensional Einstein manifold reduces to a Yamabe-type equation. This allows us to construct an infinite family of examples on the Euclidean 4-sphere. In addition,…
