Consider a locally Lipschitz function $u$ on the closure of a possibly unbounded open subset $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $C^{1,1}$ boundary. Suppose $u$ is semiconcave on $\overline \Omega$ with a fractional semiconcavity modulus. Is it…

We prove a topological rigidity theorem for closed hypersurfaces of the Euclidean sphere and of an elliptic space form. It asserts that, under a lower bound hypothesis on the absolute value of the principal curvatures, the hypersurface is…

We consider isotropic non lower semicontinuous weighted perimeter functionals defined on partitions of domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Besides identifying a condition on the structure of the domain which ensures the existence of minimizing…

The purpose of this article is threefold: Firstly, we propose some enhancements to the existing definition of 6-functor formalisms. Secondly, we systematically study the category of kernels, which is a certain 2-category attached to every…

We generalize the phenomenon of continuation from complex anal- ysis to locally operator monotone functions. Along the lines of the egde-of- the-wedge theorem, we prove continuations exist dependent only on geometric features of the domain…

Let $X$ be a locally compact topological space, $(Y,d)$ be a boundedly compact metric space and $LB(X,Y)$ be the space of all locally bounded functions from $X$ to $Y$. We characterize compact sets in $LB(X,Y)$ equipped with the topology of…

Consider a sequence of closed, orientable surfaces of fixed genus $g$ in a Riemannian manifold $M$ with uniform upper bounds on mean curvature and area. We show that on passing to a subsequence and choosing appropriate parametrisations, the…

On one hand, we study the class of graphs on surfaces, satisfying tessellation properties, with positive Forman curvature on each edge. Via medial graphs, we provide a new proof for the finiteness of the class, and give a complete…

We define functionals generalising the Seiberg-Witten functional on closed $spin^c$ manifolds, involving higher order derivatives of the curvature form and spinor field. We then consider their associated gradient flows and, using a gauge…

For a family of functionals defined on a Hilbert manifold and smoothly depending on a compact finite dimensional manifold, we give a sufficient condition on the parameter space in such a way the family bifurcate from the trivial branch.

This paper proves that, in mean curvature flow of a compact surface in a complete $3$-manifold with Ricci curvature bounded below, the genus of the regular set is a decreasing function of time as long as the only singularities are given by…

We study the prescribed scalar curvature problem in a conformal class on orbifolds with isolated singularities. We prove a compactness theorem in dimension $4$, and an existence theorem which holds in dimensions $n \geq 4$. This problem is…

Hypersurfaces embedded in conformal manifolds appear frequently as boundary data in boundary-value problems in cosmology and string theory. Viewed as the non-null conformal infinity of a spacetime, we consider hypersurfaces embedded in a…

We introduce a curvature function for planar graphs to study the connection between the curvature and the geometric and spectral properties of the graph. We show that non-positive curvature implies that the graph is infinite and locally…

We give an overview of the constrained Willmore problem and address some conjectures arising from partial results and numerical experiments. Ramifications of these conjectures would lead to a deeper understanding of the Willmore functional…

We completely characterise the bounded sets that arise as components of the Fatou and Julia sets of meromorphic functions. On the one hand, we prove that a bounded domain is a Fatou component of some meromorphic function if and only if it…

The article is devoted to the investigation of smoothness of functions $f(x_1,...,x_m)$ of variables $x_1,...,x_m$ in infinite fields with non-trivial multiplicative ultra-norms, where $m\ge 2$. Theorems about classes of smoothness $C^n$ or…

We introduce and study some new uniform structures for Hilbert $C^*$-modules over an algebra $A$. In particular, we prove that in some cases they have the same totally bounded sets. To define one of them, we introduce a new class of…

We prove a theorem which provides a method for constructing points on varieties defined by certain smooth functions. We require that the functions are definable in a definably complete expansion of a real closed field and are locally…
