The classical Llarull theorem states that a smooth metric on $n$-sphere cannot have scalar curvature no less than $n(n-1)$ and dominate the standard spherical metric at the same time unless it is the standard spherical metric. In this work,…
A modification of Kaluza-Klein theory is proposed which is general enough to admit an arbitrary finite noncommutative internal geometry. It is shown that the existence of a non-trival extension to the total geometry of a linear connection…

In this paper we study the geometry and topology of compact Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ with boundary having the property that every geodesic that starts orthogonally to $\partial M$ also arrives orthogonally to the boundary.
We prove a Lichnerowicz type vanishing theorem for non-compact spin manifolds admiting proper cocompact actions. This extends a previous result of Ziran Liu who proves it for the case where the acting group is unimodular.

In this paper, without assuming that manifolds are spin, we prove that if a compact orientable, and connected Riemannian manifold $(M^{n},g)$ with scalar curvature $R_{g}\geq 6$ admits a non-zero degree and $1$-Lipschitz map to…
We prove that given a $\mathcal{C^\infty}$ Riemannian manifold with boundary, any fat triangulation of the boundary can be extended to the whole manifold. We also show that this result holds extends to $\mathcal{C}^1$ manifolds, and that in…
McLean studied the deformations of compact special Lagrangian submanifolds, showing in particular that they come in moduli spaces whose dimension depends only on the topology of the submanifold. In this article we study the analogous…

We extend calculus from smooth manifolds to topological manifolds making use of a theory of generalized functions developed for this aim. Actually such extension fits into a boarder context: the universal construction of a site containing…
A Liouville-type result for the p-Laplacian on complete Riemannian manifolds is proved. As an application are present some results concerning complete non-compact hypersurfaces immersed in a suitable warped product manifold.
We extend the method of layer potentials to manifolds with boundary and cylindrical ends. To obtain this extension along the classical lines, we have to deal with several technical difficulties due to the non-compactness of the boundary,…
