We determine the ring structure of the loop homology of some global quotient orbifolds. We can compute by our theorem the loop homology ring with suitable coefficients of the global quotient orbifolds of the form $[M/G]$ for $M$ being some…

Let $M_p$ be a circle bundle with first Chern class $p[\omega]$ over a closed $4n$-dimensional integral symplectic manifold $(\overline{M}, \omega)$. Equivalently, $M_p$ is a closed contact $(4n+1)$-manifold whose Reeb orbits are all closed…

We prove some boundary rigidity results for the hemisphere under a lower bound for Ricci curvature. The main result can be viewed as the Ricci version of a conjecture of Min-Oo.

Consider a random set of points on the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^d$, which can be either uniformly sampled or a Poisson point process. Its convex hull is a random inscribed polytope, whose boundary approximates the sphere. We focus on the…

The aim of this paper is to provide a proof for a version of Morse inequality for manifolds with boundary. Our main results are certainly known to the experts on Morse theory, nevertheless it seems necessary to write down a complete proof…

We gather in this note results and examples about collared or non-collared boundaries of non-metrisable manifolds. Almost everything is well known but a bit scattered in the literature, and some of it is apparently not published at all.

Similarly to the classic notion in $E^d$, a subset of a positive diameter below $\frac{\pi}{2}$ of a hemisphere of the sphere $S^d$ is called complete, provided adding any extra point increases its diameter. Complete sets are convex bodies…

The Hilbert manifold $\Sigma$ consisting of positive invertible (unitized) Hilbert-Schmidt operators has a rich structure and geometry. The geometry of unitary orbits $\Omega\subset \Sigma$ is studied from the topological and metric…

While there is extensive literature on approximation of convex bodies by inscribed or circumscribed polytopes, much less is known in the case of generally positioned polytopes. Here we give upper and lower bounds for approximation of convex…

A parametric manifold can be viewed as the manifold of orbits of a (regular) foliation of a manifold by means of a family of curves. If the foliation is hypersurface orthogonal, the parametric manifold is equivalent to the 1-parameter…

The problem of classifying boundary points of space-time, for example singularities, regular points and points at infinity, is an unexpectedly subtle one. Due to the fact that whether or not two boundary points are identified or even…

We present a survey article about the geometry of convex bodies on the $d$-dimensional sphere $S^d$. We concentrate on the results based on the notion of the width of a convex body $C \subset S^d$ determined by a supporting hemisphere of…

$\omega$-periodic graphs are introduced and studied. These are graphs which arise as the limits of periodic extensions of the nearest neighbor graph on the integers. We observe that all bounded degree $\omega$-periodic graphs are ameanable.…

We survey the properties of Brody and Kobayashi hyperbolic manifolds.

We study computable topological spaces and semicomputable and computable sets in these spaces. In particular, we investigate conditions under which semicomputable sets are computable. We prove that a semicomputable compact manifold $M$ is…

Let $p$ be a real number greater than one and let $\Gamma$ be a graph of bounded degree. We investigate links between the $p$-harmonic boundary of $\Gamma$ and the $D_p$-massive subsets of $\Gamma$. In particular, if there are $n$ pairwise…

We introduce the use of $p$-descent techniques for elliptic surfaces over a perfect field of characteristic not $2$ or $3$. Under mild hypotheses, we obtain an upper bound for the rank of a non-constant elliptic surface. When $p=2$, this…

In this paper we will consider an unknown binary image, of which the length of the boundary and the area of the image are given. These two values together contain some information about the general shape of the image. We will study two…

Consider a compact manifold $M$ with smooth boundary $\partial M$. Suppose that $g$ and $\tilde{g}$ are two Riemannian metrics on $M$. We construct a family of metrics on $M$ which agrees with $g$ outside a neighborhood of $\partial M$ and…

Given R\subset N, an (R,k)$-sphere is a k-regular map on the sphere whose faces have gonalities i\in R. The most interesting/useful are (geometric) fullerenes, i.e., (\{5,6\},3)$-spheres. Call \kappa_i=1 + \frac{i}{k} - \frac{i}{2} the…
