Let $M$ be a $C^2$-smooth Riemannian manifold with boundary and $N$ a complete $C^2$-smooth Riemannian manifold. We show that each stationary $p$-harmonic mapping $u\colon M\to N$, whose image lies in a compact subset of $N$, is locally…

On a Riemannian 2-torus $(T^2,g)$ we study the geodesic flow in the case of low complexity described by zero topological entropy. We show that this assumption implies a nearly integrable behavior. In our previous paper \cite{GK} we already…

The main theorem states that any complete connected Riemannian manifold of bounded geometry can be isometrically realized as a leaf with trivial holonomy in a compact Riemannian foliated space.

From a graph $G$ with constant valency $v$ and a (non-compact) manifold $C$ with $v$ boundary components, we build a $G$-periodic manifold $M$. This process gives a class of topologically infinite manifolds which generalizes periodic…

We prove the existence of foliations by area-minimizing hypersurfaces in asymptotically flat (AF) manifolds with arbitrary dimension and arbitrary ends. Also we provide behaviors of those hypersurfaces near the infinity of AF ends and…
