In conventional Differential Geometry one studies manifolds, locally modelled on ${\mathbb R}^n$, manifolds with boundary, locally modelled on $[0,\infty)\times{\mathbb R}^{n-1}$, and manifolds with corners, locally modelled on…

Utilizing the covariant formulation of Penrose's plane wave limit by Blau et~al., we construct for any semi-Riemannian metric $g$ a family of "plane wave limits." These limits are taken along any geodesic of $g$, yield simpler metrics of…

A singular riemannian foliation on a complete riemannian manifold is said to be riemannian if each geodesic that is perpendicular at one point to a leaf remains perpendicular to every leaf it meets. The singular foliation is said to admit…

We study a relative trace formula for a compact Riemann surface with respect to a closed geodesic $C$. This can be expressed as a relation between the period spectrum and the ortholength spectrum of $C$. This provides a new proof of…

The scattering data of a Riemannian manifold with boundary record the incoming and outgoing directions of each geodesic passing through. We show that the scattering data of a generic Riemannian surface with no trapped geodesics and no…

In the geometric theory of defects, media with a spin structure, for example, ferromagnet, is considered as a manifold with given Riemann--Cartan geometry. We consider the case with the Euclidean metric corresponding to the absence of…
