In this article, we deduce a series of integral formulas for a foliated sub-Riemannian manifold, which is a new geometric concept denoting a Riemannian manifold equipped with a distribution ${\mathcal D}$ and a foliation ${\mathcal F}$,…

In this paper, we establish a number of results about the topology of the leaves of a closed singular Riemannian foliation $(M,\fol)$. If $M$ is simply connected, we prove that the leaves are finitely covered by nilpotent spaces, and…

We give a short proof of a theorem of Guth relating volume of balls and Uryson width. The same approach applies to Hausdorff content implying a recent result of Liokumovich-Lishak-Nabutovsky-Rotman. We show also that for any $C>0$ there is…

This paper considers the quantization problem on the Grassmann manifold \mathcal{G}_{n,p}, the set of all p-dimensional planes (through the origin) in the n-dimensional Euclidean space. The chief result is a closed-form formula for the…

We consider the sub-Riemannian $3$-sphere $(\mathbb{S}^3,g_h)$ obtained by restriction of the Riemannian metric of constant curvature $1$ to the planar distribution orthogonal to the vertical Hopf vector field. It is known that…

We construct two infinite sequences of immersions of the 3-sphere into 4-space, parameterized by the Dynkin diagrams of types A and D. The construction is based on immersions of 4-manifolds obtained as the plumbed immersions along the…

Let $V$ be a complex nonsingular projective 3-fold of general type. We shall give a detailed classification up to baskets of singularities on a minimal model of $V$. We show that the $m$-canonical map of $V$ is birational for all $m\geq 73$…

We extend the notion of Epstein maps to conformal metrics on submanifolds of the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^n=\partial_\infty\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$. Using this construction for curves in $\mathbb{S}^2$, we define the W-volume for conformal metrics…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a Morse-Bott foliation on the solid Klein bottle $\mathbf{K}$ into $2$-dimensional Klein bottles parallel to the boundary and one singular circle $S^1$. Let also $S^1\widetilde{\times}S^2$ be the twisted bundle over…

In this paper we give a gauge theoretic construction of the joint moduli space of stable G-Higgs bundles on closed Riemann surfaces, where the Riemann surface structure is allowed to vary in the Teichm\"uller space of the underlying smooth…

We characterize compact eight-manifolds M which arise as internal spaces in N=1 flux compactifications of M-theory down to AdS3 using the theory of foliations, for the case when the internal part of the supersymmetry generator is everywhere…

We study curvature functionals for immersed 2-spheres in a compact, three-dimensional Riemannian manifold M. Under the assumption that the sectional curvature of M is strictly positive, we prove the existence of a smoothly immersed sphere…

In this paper we introduce a new approach to variational problems on the space Riem(M^n) of Riemannian structures (i.e. isometry classes of Riemannan metrics) on any fixed compact manifold M^n of dimension n >= 5. This approach often…

In this article, we prove a generalization of our previous result in [12]. In particular, we show that for an $n$-dimensional, simply connected Riemannian manifold with diameter $D$ and volume $V$. Suppose that $M$ admits a good cover…

We study extrinsic geometry of a codimension-one foliation ${\cal F}$ of a closed Finsler space $(M,F)$, in particular, of a Randers space $(M,\alpha+\beta)$. Using a unit vector field $\nu$ orthogonal (in the Finsler sense) to the leaves…

In this paper, we are interested in flat metric structures with conical singularities on surfaces which are obtained by deforming translation surface structures. The moduli space of such flat metric structures can be viewed as some…
