Any function from a round $n$-dimensional sphere of radius $r$ into $n$-dimensional Euclidean space must distort the metric additively by at least $\displaystyle \frac{\pi r}{1 + \sqrt{1 - \frac{2}{n+2}}}$ if $n$ is even and $\displaystyle…

We prove that in the three dimensional sphere with a bumpy metric or a metric with positive Ricci curvature, there exist at least four distinct embedded minimal two-spheres. This confirms a conjecture of S. T. Yau in 1982 for bumpy metrics…

We prove that for $n\in \{4,5\}$, a closed aspherical $n$-manifold does not admit a Riemannian metric with positive scalar curvature. Additionally, we show that for $n\leq 7$, the connected sum of a $n$-torus with an arbitrary manifold does…

Band geometry plays a substantial role in topological lattice models. The Berry curvature, which resembles the effect of magnetic field in reciprocal space, usually fluctuates throughout the Brillouin zone. Motivated by the analogy with…

In this note, we study the Gehring link problem in the round sphere, which motives our study of the width of a band in positively curved manifolds. Using the same idea, we are able to get a sphere theorem for hypersurface in in the round…
