The volume of a Meissner polyhedron is computed in terms of the lengths of its dual edges. This allows to reformulate the Meissner conjecture regarding constant width bodies with minimal volume as a series of explicit finite dimensional…

It is not known whether or not the lenth of the shortest periodic geodesic on a closed Riemannian manifold $M^n$ can be majorized by $c(n) vol^{ 1 \over n}$, or $\tilde{c}(n)d$, where $n$ is the dimension of $M^n$, $vol$ denotes the volume…

In this paper, we prove that for any closed 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ with trivial first homology group, if the Ricci curvature $|Ric|\leq3$, the diameter $diam(M)\leq D$ and the volume $vol(M)>v>0$, then the area of a smallest…

We consider the Lie group $SU_2$ endowed with a left-invariant axisymmetric Riemannian metric. This means that a metric has eigenvalues $I_1 = I_2, I_3 > 0$. We give an explicit formula for the diameter of such metric. Other words, we…

Any three-dimensional Riemannian metric can be locally obtained by deforming a constant curvature metric along one direction. The general interest of this result, both in geometry and physics, and related open problems are stressed.

The total diameter of a closed planar curve $C\subset R^2$ is the integral of its antipodal chord lengths. We show that this quantity is bounded below by twice the area of $C$. Furthermore, when $C$ is convex or centrally symmetric, the…

The smallest hyperconvex metric space containing a given metric space X is called the tight span of X. It is known that tight spans have many nice geometric and topological properties, and they are gradually becoming a target of research of…

This paper studies whether the presence of a perimeter minimizing set in a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ forces an isometric splitting. We show that this is the case when $M$ has non-negative sectional curvature and quadratic volume growth at…

The goal of this paper is to present a lower bound for the Mahler volume of at least 4-dimensional symmetric convex bodies. We define a computable dimension dependent constant through a 2-dimensional variational (max-min) procedure and…

In this paper we study regularity and topological properties of volume constrained minimizers of quasi-perimeters in $\sf RCD$ spaces where the reference measure is the Hausdorff measure. A quasi-perimeter is a functional given by the sum…

For a Riemannian manifold $M^{n+1}$ and a compact domain $\Omega \subset M^{n+1}$ bounded by a hypersurface $\partial \Omega$ with normal curvature bounded below, estimates are obtained in terms of the distance from $O$ to $\partial \Omega$…

In this paper we define the magnitude of metric spaces using measures rather than finite subsets as had been done previously and show that this agrees with earlier work with Leinster in arXiv:0908.1582. An explicit formula for the magnitude…

We prove a lower bound on the length of closed geodesics for spheres with Willmore energy below $6\pi$. The energy threshold is optimal and the inequality cannot be extended to surfaces of higher genus. Moreover, we discuss consequences for…

Let $\{g(t)\}_{t\in [0,T)}$ be the solution of the Ricci flow on a closed Riemannian manifold $M^n$ with $n\geq 3$. Without any assumption, we derive lower volume bounds of the form ${\rm Vol}_{g(t)}\geq C (T-t)^{\frac{n}{2}}$, where $C$…

If $(M^n, g)$ is a closed Riemannian manifold where every unit ball has volume at most $\epsilon_n$ (a sufficiently small constant), then the $(n-1)$-dimensional Uryson width of $(M^n, g)$ is at most 1.

The goal of this article is to study the space of smooth Riemannian structures on compact manifolds with boundary that satisfies a critical point equation associated with a boundary value problem. We provide an integral formula which…

Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold with dimension greater or equal to $3$ which admits a complete, finite-volume Riemannian metric $g_0$ locally isometric to a rank-1 symmetric space of non-compact type. The volume entropy rigidity theorem…

Geodesic balls in a simply connected space forms $\mathbb{S}^n$, $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ or $\mathbb{H}^{n}$ are distinguished manifolds for comparison in bounded Riemannian geometry. In this paper we show that they have the maximum possible…

This paper begins the study of relations between Riemannian geometry and contact topology in any dimension and continues this study in dimension 3. Specifically we provide a lower bound for the radius of a geodesic ball in a contact…

The perimeter of a measurable subset of $\mathbb R^N$ is the total variation of its characteristic function. We generalize this notion to a subset $E$ of a closed Riemannian manifold. We show that the perimeter of $E$ is the limit of the…
