For any open hyperbolic Riemann surface $X$, the Bergman kernel $K$, the logarithmic capacity $c_{\beta}$, and the analytic capacity $c_{B}$ satisfy the inequality chain $\pi K \geq c^2_{\beta} \geq c^2_B$; moreover, equality holds at a…

We prove that some symetric semi-riemannian manifolds do not admit a proper domain which is divisible by the action of a discrete group of isometries. In other words, if a closed semi-riemannian manifold is locally isometric to such a…

Geometry is wavy: even at the purely geometric level (no particular theory chosen), curvature satisfies a covariant quasilinear wave equation. In Riemannian geometry equipped with the Levi-Civita connection, the Riemann curvature tensor…
