Differentials on Riemann surfaces correspond to translation surfaces with conical singularities, and affine transformations acting on them preserve the orders of these singularities. This viewpoint allows the moduli spaces of differentials…

We establish a general gluing theorem for constant mean curvature solutions of the vacuum Einstein constraint equations. This allows one to take connected sums of solutions or to glue a handle (wormhole) onto any given solution. Away from…

We construct low regularity solutions of the vacuum Einstein constraint equations on compact manifolds. On 3-manifolds we obtain solutions with metrics in $H^s$ where $s>3/2$. The constant mean curvature (CMC) conformal method leads to a…

In analogy with classical submanifold theory, we introduce morphisms of real metric calculi together with noncommutative embeddings. We show that basic concepts, such as the second fundamental form and the Weingarten map, translate into the…

In this paper, we prove several rigidity results for complete noncompact manifolds with nonnegative intermediate curvatures. We show that when either $3\leq n\leq 5$, $1\leq m\leq n-1$, or $6\leq n\leq 7$, $m\in \{1,n-1,n-2\}$, any manifold…
