Let $M$ be a Riemannian 3-manifold of nonnegative Ricci curvature, Ric $\geq 0.$ We suppose that $M$ is conformally flat and simply connected or more generally that it admits a conformal immersion into the standard 3-sphere. Let $\Sigma$ be…
The main results of this paper provide VMO-type estimates for the quadratic tilt-excess on varifolds with critical generalized mean curvature. These estimates apply to varifolds with "almost-integral" density which are close to a…
This article finds constant scalar curvature Kahler metrics on certain compact complex surfaces. The surfaces considered are those admitting a holomorphic submersion to a curve, with fibres of genus at least 2. The proof is via an adiabatic…
This paper studies regularity of perimiter quasiminimizing sets in metric measure spaces with a doubling measure and a Poincare inequality. The main result shows that the measure theoretic boundary of a quasiminimizing set coincides with…
In this paper, we focus our study on the ends of a locally conformally flat complete manifold with finite total $Q$-curvature. We prove that for such a manifold, the integral of the $Q$-curvature equals an integral multiple of a dimensional…
We prove that any metric surface (that is, metric space homeomorphic to a 2-manifold with boundary) with locally finite Hausdorff 2-measure is the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of polyhedral surfaces with controlled geometry. We use this result,…
We study the local regularity of sliding almost minimal sets of dimension 2 in $R^n$ , bounded by a smooth curve $L$. These are a good way to model soap films bounded by a curve, and their definition is similar to Almgren's. We aim for a…
In this article we study stability and compactness w.r.t. measured Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of smooth metric measure spaces with integral Ricci curvature bounds. More precisely, we prove that a sequence of $n$-dimensional Riemannian…
We prove a rigidity theorem in the style of Urbano for the Allen-Cahn equation on the three-sphere: the critical points with Morse index five are symmetric functions that vanish on a Clifford torus. Moreover they realise the fifth width of…
It was recently shown by R. Souam and E. Toubiana that the (non constantly curved) Berger spheres do not contain totally umbilic surfaces. Nevertheless in this article we show, by perturbative arguments, that all analytic metrics…
We identify the smooth metrics $\mc{M}(M)$ on a manifold $M^n$ with the smooth isometric embeddings $f_g: (M,g) \rightarrow (\mb{S}^{\tn}, \tg)$ into a standard sphere of large dimension $\tn=\tn(n)$, and their Palais isotopic deformations,…
Let $G\curvearrowright M$ be an isometric action of a Lie Group on a complete orientable Riemannian manifold. We disintegrate absolutely continuous measures with respect to the volume measure of $M$ along the principal orbits of…
Let $(M,g_0)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n \geq 25$ with positive Yamabe invariant $Y(M,g_0)>0$ and positive fourth-order invariant $Y_4(M,g_0)>0$. We show that, arbitrarily $C^1$-close to $g_0$, there exists a Riemannian…

In this paper we consider the uniqueness problem of the constant mean curvature spheres in asymptotically flat 3-manifolds. We require the metric have the form g_{ij}=\delta_{ij}+h_{ij} with h_{ij}=O_{4}(r^{-1}) and R=O(r^{-3-\tau}),\tau>0.…
