In this paper, we investigate the rigidity of Q-curvature. Specifically, we consider a closed, oriented $n$-dimensional ($n\geq6$) Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and prove the following results under the condition $\int_{M} \nabla R\cdot\nabla…

We investigate asymptotically flat manifolds with cone structure at infinity. We show that any such manifold M has a finite number of ends. For simply connected ends we classify all possible cones at infinity, except for the 4-dimensional…

We construct a Riemannian metric $g$ on $\mathbb{R}^4$ (arbitrarily close to the euclidean one) and a smooth simple closed curve $\Gamma\subset \mathbb R^4$ such that the unique area minimizing surface spanned by $\Gamma$ has infinite…

In this short paper we show a sufficient condition for the solvability of the Dirichlet problem at infinity in Riemannian cones (as defined below).This condition is related to a celebrated result of Milnor that classifies parabolic…

Let (M,g) be a smooth connected compact Riemannian manifold of finite dimension n \geq 2 with a smooth boundary \partial M. We consider the problem -{\epsilon}^2\Delta_gu+u=|u|^{p-2}u, u>0 on M, \partial u/ \partial{\nu}=0 on \partial M…

We construct a continuous 1-parameter family of smooth complete Ricci-flat metrics of cohomogeneity one on vector bundles over $\mathbb{CP}^2$, $\mathbb{HP}^2$ and $\mathbb{OP}^2$ with respective principal orbits $G/K$ the Wallach spaces…

We consider the quadratically semilinear wave equation on R^d, d>=3, equipped with a Riemannian metric. This metric is non-trapping and approaches the Euclidean metric polynomially at infinity. Using Mourre estimates and the Kato theory of…

A special case of the main result states that a complete $1$-connected Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$ is isometric to one of the models $\mathbb R^n$, $S^n(c)$, $\mathbb H^n(-c)$ of constant curvature if and only if every $p\in M^n$ is a…

We provide the complete classification of seven-dimensional manifolds endowed with a closed non-parallel G$_2$-structure and admitting a transitive reductive group G of automorphisms. In particular, we show that the center of G is…

We investigate the existence of black hole solutions of four dimensional $\mathfrak{su}(N)$ EYM theory with a negative cosmological constant. Our analysis differs from previous works in that we generalise the field equations to certain…

In this paper all rings are commutative. We prove some new results on flat epimorphisms of rings and pointwise localizations. Especially among them, it is proved that a ring $R$ is an absolutely flat (von-Neumann regular) ring if and only…

It is proved that a stationary solutions to the vacuum Einstein field equations with non-vanishing angular momentum have no Cauchy slice that is maximal, conformally flat, and non-boosted. The proof is based on results coming from a certain…

In this note we generalize the methods of [1][2][3] to 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds M. We study the relations between the geometry of M and the number of solutions to a generalized Killing spinor equation obtained from a 5-dimensional…

We consider the $\mathrm{O}(3)$ non-linear sigma-model, composed of three real scalar fields with a standard kinetic term and with a symmetry breaking potential in four spacetime dimensions. We show that this simple, geometrically motivated…

We prove that a regular stationary black-hole solution of the Einstein vacuum equations which is "close" to some Kerr solution is, in fact, isometric to that Kerr solution.

We classify the solutions to the equation (- \Delta)^m u=(2m-1)!e^{2mu} on R^{2m} giving rise to a metric g=e^{2u}g_{R^{2m}} with finite total $Q$-curvature in terms of analytic and geometric properties. The analytic conditions involve the…

We explicitly calculate the Riemannian curvature of D-dimensional metrics recently discussed by Chen, Lu and Pope. We find that they can be concisely written by using a single function. The Einstein condition which corresponds to the…

We prove that the space of complete, finite volume, pinched negatively curved Riemannian metrics on a smooth high-dimensional manifold is either empty or it is highly non-connected, provided their behavior at infinity is similar.

On a Riemannian manifold with a smooth function $f: M\to \mathbb{R}$, we consider the linearization of the Perelman scalar curvature $\mathcal{R}$ and its $L^2$-formal adjoint operator $\delta\mathcal{R}^*$. A manifold endowed with a metric…

Let $(M^n,g)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold which is not isometric to $\mathbb{R}^n$, has nonnegative Ricci curvature, Euclidean volume growth, and quadratic Riemann curvature decay. We prove that there exists a set $\mathcal{G}\subset…
