We revisit Allendoerfer-Weil's formula for the Euler characteristic of embedded hypersurfaces in constant sectional curvature manifolds, first taking some time to re-prove it while demonstrating techniques of [2] and then applying it to…
We prove a formula involving the scalar curvature of a Riemannian manifold endowed with a distribution in terms of an adapted orthonormal frame for its tangent bundle. Using the formula, we then investigate the effect of collapsing the…
Inversion theorems of Wiener type are essential tools in analysis and number theory. We derive a weighted version of an inversion theorem of Wiener type for general Dirichlet series from that of Edwards from 1957, and we outline an…
A short review of scalar curvature invariants in gravity theories is presented. We introduce how these invariants are constructed and discuss the minimal number of invariants required for a given spacetime. We then discuss applications of…
We establish a shape-derivative formula for the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator on a compact manifold. Then, we apply this formula to obtain the well-posedness in H 1 under a specific Rayleigh-Taylor condition to an equation describing cell…
We investigate the discretized version of the compact Randall-Sundrum model. By studying the mass eigenstates of the lattice theory, we demonstrate that for warped space, unlike for flat space, the strong coupling scale does not depend on…

A class of theories of gravity based on a Lagrangian which depends on the curvature and metric - but not on the derivatives of the curvature tensor - is of interest in several contexts including in the development of the paradigm that…
Llarull's scalar curvature rigidity theorem states that a 1-Lipschitz map $f: M\to S^n$ from a closed connected Riemannian spin manifold $M$ with scalar curvature $\mathrm{scal}\ge n(n-1)$ to the standard sphere $S^n$ is an isometry if the…
We present a largely self contained account on the K-theory of a weighted smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field. In particular, we discuss the weighted version of divisor theory, Euler form, and Riemann-Roch theorem.…
The stationary points of the total scalar curvature functional on the space of unit volume metrics on a given closed manifold are known to be precisely the Einstein metrics. One may consider the modified problem of finding stationary points…
Standard singularity theorems are proven in Lorentzian manifolds of arbitrary dimension n if they contain closed trapped submanifolds of arbitrary co-dimension. By using the mean curvature vector to characterize trapped submanifolds, a…
We use a suitable transform related to Sobolev inequality to investigate the sharp constants and optimizers for some Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg-type inequalities which are related to the weighted $p$-Laplace equations. Moreover, we give the…
In this paper, we present finite topological type theorems for open manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature, under almost maximal local rewinding volume. Unlike previous related research, our theorems remove the constraints of sectional…
In this paper, we give a comparison version of Pythagorean Theorem to judge the lower or upper bound of the curvature of Alexandrov spaces (including Riemannian manifolds).
We establish Calder\'on-type theorems for operators bounded on nonstandard end-point Lorentz spaces \begin{equation*} T\colon L^{p_0, q_0}\to L^{p_1, q_1}\quad\text{and}\quad T\colon L^{q, 1}\to L^\infty \end{equation*} and the improvement…

This article is a survey of recent results about scalar curvature and contractible open $3$-manifolds. It is dedicated to the memory of Professor S. S. Chern.
We investigate the logarithmic bundles associated to arrangements of hypersurfaces with a fixed degree in a smooth projective variety. We then specialize to the case when the variety is a quadric hypersurface and a multiprojective space to…
