A conformal map from a Riemann surface to a Euclidean space of dimension greater than or equal to three is explained by using the Clifford algebra, in a similar fashion to quaternionic holomorphic geometry of surfaces in the Euclidean…

Prescribing, by conformal transformation, the kth-elementary symmetric polynomial of the Schouten tensor $P$ to be constant is a generalisation of the Yamabe problem. On compact Riemannian n-manifolds we show that, for k between and…

The Gaussian curvature of a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold is uniquely determined by the choice of the metric. The formulas for computing the curvature in terms of components of the metric, in isothermal coordinates, involve the…

In this article we give a criterion for the existence of a metric of curvature $1$ on a $2$-sphere with $n$ conical singularities of prescribed angles $2\pi\vartheta_1,\dots,2\pi\vartheta_n$ and non-coaxial holonomy. Such a necessary and…

It is known that the infimum of the sectional curvatures (on the regular part) of orbit spaces of isometric actions on unit spheres in bounded above by $4$. We show that the infimum is $1$ for "most" actions, and determine the cases in…

A theorem of Llarull says that if a smooth metric $g$ on the $n$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ is bounded below by the standard round metric and the scalar curvature $R_g$ of $g$ is bounded below by $n (n - 1)$, then the metric $g$ must be the…
