In this paper, we study a new class of Finsler metrics, F=\alpha\phi(b^2,s), s:=\beta/\alpha, defined by a Riemannian metric \alpha and 1-form \beta. It is called general (\alpha, \beta) metric. In this paper, we assume \phi be coefficient…

Canonical metrics and conformal invariants are presented for closed oriented even-dimensional manifolds with non-degenerate conformal structures and in particular for compact Riemann surfaces.

We consider a generalization of Riemannian geometry that naturally arises in the framework of control theory. Let $X$ and $Y$ be two smooth vector fields on a two-dimensional manifold $M$. If $X$ and $Y$ are everywhere linearly independent,…

We give a general procedure for gluing together possibly noncompact manifolds of constant scalar curvature which satisfy an extra nondegeneracy hypothesis. Our aim is to provide a simple paradigm for making `analytic' connected sums. In…

We derive new, sharp lower bounds for certain curvature functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics of a smooth compact 4-manifold with a non-trivial Seiberg-Witten invariant. These allow one, for example, to exactly compute the infimum…

Motivated by the work of Li and Mantoulidis, we study singular metrics which are uniformly Euclidean $(L^\infty)$ on a compact manifold $M^n$ ($n\ge 3$) with negative Yamabe invariant $\sigma(M)$. It is well-known that if $g$ is a smooth…
