In this paper, we systematically investigate the geometry and topology of manifolds with integral radial curvature bounds, and obtain many interesting and important conclusions.

We begin by studying the surface area of an ellipsoid in n-dimensional Euclidean space as the function of the lengths of the semi-axes. We write down an explicit formula as an integral over the unit sphere in n-dimensions and use this…

We propose a simple derivation of an upper bound for the perimeter of an ellipse. The procedure, which relies on the use of elliptic integrals, consists in introducing, via inequalities and convexity properties, specific integrals which can…

Diameter is one of the most basic properties of a geometric object, while Riemann surfaces are one of the most basic geometric objects. Surprisingly, the diameter of compact Riemann surfaces is known exactly only for the sphere and the…

We provide an upper bound for the Gromov width of compact homogeneous Hodge manifolds $(M, \omega)$ with $b_2(M)=1$. As an application we obtain an upper bound on the Seshadri constant $\epsilon (L)$ where $L$ is the ample line bundle on…

An unfolding of a polyhedron is produced by cutting the surface and flattening to a single, connected, planar piece without overlap (except possibly at boundary points). It is a long unsolved problem to determine whether every polyhedron…

The edge-bandwidth of a graph is the minimum, over all labelings of the edges with distinct integers, of the maximum difference between labels of two incident edges. We prove that edge-bandwidth is at least as large as bandwidth for every…

In this paper, we develop the infinitesimal geometry of the limit spaces of compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary, where we assume lower bounds on the sectional curvatures of manifolds and boundaries and the second fundamental forms of…

For each $p>n$ we use local oscillations to give intrinsic characterizations of the trace of the Sobolev space $W^1_p(\Omega)$ to the boundary of an arbitrary domain $\Omega\subset R^n$.

We introduce some compact orbifolds on which there is a certain finite group action having a simple convex polytope as the orbit space. We compute the orbifold fundamental group and homology groups of these orbifolds. We calculate the…

Given $p\in [1,\infty]$, this article presents the novel basic volumetric estimates for the relative $p$-capacities with their applications to finding not only the sharp weak $(p,q)$-imbeddings but also the precise lower bounds of the…

Map vertices of a graph to (not necessarily distinct) points of the plane so that two adjacent vertices are mapped at least a unit distance apart. The plane-width of a graph is the minimum diameter of the image of the vertex set over all…

For non-compact manifolds with boundary we prove that bounded geometry defined by coordinate-free curvature bounds is equivalent to bounded geometry defined using bounds on the metric tensor in geodesic coordinates. We produce a nice atlas…

In this paper we define the magnitude of metric spaces using measures rather than finite subsets as had been done previously and show that this agrees with earlier work with Leinster in arXiv:0908.1582. An explicit formula for the magnitude…

The Cartesian squares (powers) of manifolds with the fixed point property (f.p.p.) are considered. Examples of manifolds with the f.p.p. are constructed whose symmetric squares fail to have the f.p.p..

Seiberg-Witten theory is used to obtain new obstructions to the existence of Einstein metrics on 4-manifolds with conical singularities along an embedded surface. In the present article, the cone angle is required to be of the form 2(pi)/p,…

The polygon $P$ is small if its diameter equals one. When $n=2^s$, it is still an open problem to find the maximum perimeter or the maximum width of a small $n$-gon. Motivated by Bingane's series of works, we improve the lower bounds for…

A three-dimensional orbifold $(\Sigma, \gamma_i, n_i)$, where $\Sigma$ is a rational homology sphere, has a universal abelian orbifold covering, whose covering group is the first orbifold homology. A singular pair $(X,C)$, where $X$ is a…

The complete $p$-elliptic integrals are generalizations of the complete elliptic integrals by the generalized trigonometric function $\sin_p{\theta}$ and its half-period $\pi_p$. It is shown, only for $p=4$, that the generalized…

The spherometer used for measuring radius of curvature of spherical surfaces is explicitly based on a geometric relation unique to circles and spheres. We present an alternate approach using coordinate geometry, which reproduces the…
