We introduce a "Hamiltonian"-like function, called the volume function, indispensable to describe the ensemble of jammed matter such as granular materials and emulsions from a geometrical point of view. The volume function represents the…

In the construction of spectral manifolds in noncommutative geometry, a higher degree Heisenberg commutation relation involving the Dirac operator and the Feynman slash of real scalar fields naturally appears and implies, by equality with…

We describe smooth compactifications of certain families of reductive homogeneous spaces such as group manifolds for classical Lie groups, or pseudo-Riemannian analogues of real hyperbolic spaces and their complex and quaternionic…

We review recent progress on two closely related sets of questions concerning convex co-compact hyperbolic manifolds, or convex domains in those manifolds, such as their convex core. The first set of questions is to what extent the…

We discuss smooth metric measure spaces admitting two weighted Einstein representatives of the same weighted conformal class. First, we describe the local geometries of such manifolds in terms of certain Einstein and quasi-Einstein warped…

Mutidimensional cosmological models with $n\left( n\geq 2\right) $ Einstein spaces $M_i\left( i=1,\ldots ,n\right) $ are investigated. The cosmological constant and homogeneous minimally coupled scalar field as a matter sources are…

We derive quantitative volume constraints for sampling measures $\mu_t$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^d$ that satisfy Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequalities of order $t$. Using precise localization estimates for Jacobi polynomials, we obtain…

In this article, we study compactifications of homogeneous spaces coming from equivariant, open embeddings into a generalized flag manifold $G/P$. The key to this approach is that in each case $G/P$ is the homogeneous model for a parabolic…

We compute the volume of the convex N^2-1 dimensional set M_N of density matrices of size N with respect to the Hilbert-Schmidt measure. The hyper--area of the boundary of this set is also found and its ratio to the volume provides an…

Let M be a hyperbolic n-manifold whose cusps have torus cross-sections. In arXiv:0901.0056, the authors constructed a variety of nonpositively and negatively curved spaces as "2\pi-fillings" of M by replacing the cusps of M with compact…

Let $M=G/K$ be a generalized flag manifold, that is the adjoint orbit of a compact semisimple Lie group $G$. We use the variational approach to find invariant Einstein metrics for all flag manifolds with two isotropy summands. We also…

We define a natural topology on the collection of (equivalence classes up to scaling of) locally finite measures on a homogeneous space and prove that in this topology, pushforwards of certain infinite volume orbits equidistribute in the…

We show that, the solutions of the isoperimetric problem for small volumes are $C^{2,\alpha}$-close to small spheres. On the way, we define a class of submanifolds called pseudo balls, defined by an equation weaker than constancy of mean…

This paper aims to study the $(m,\rho)$-quasi Einstein manifold. This article shows that a complete and connected Riemannian manifold under certain conditions becomes compact. Also, we have determined an upper bound of the diameter for such…

In this paper, we focus on a conformally flat Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$ of dimension $n$ isometrically immersed into the $(n+1)$-dimensional light-cone $\Lambda^{n+1}$ as a hypersurface. We compute the first and the second variational…

For a closed minimal submanifold $f:M^n\looparrowright \mathbb{S}^{N}$ in the unit sphere $(n<N)$, we prove $${\rm Vol}(M^n) \geq\frac{n+1}{n+2}\int_{M}\left( 1+\varphi_{p}^2\right) \geq m{\rm Vol}(\mathbb{S}^{n}),$$ where…

In this thesis we revise the concept of phase space in modern physics and devise a way to explicitly incorporate physical dimension into geometric mechanics. A historical account of metrology and phase space is given to illustrate the…

This paper investigates which smooth manifolds arise as quotients (orbit spaces) of flows of vector fields. Such quotient maps were already known to be surjective on fundamental groups, but this paper shows that every epimorphism of…

We extend the notion of the cardinality of a discrete groupoid (equal to the Euler characteristic of the corresponding discrete orbifold) to the setting of Lie groupoids. Since this quantity is an invariant under equivalence of groupoids,…

In this paper, we consider a fixed metric space (possibly an oriented Riemannian manifold with boundary) with an increasing sequence of distance functions and a uniform upper bound on diameter. When the metric space endowed with the…
