Let h : R $\rightarrow$ R+ be a lower semi-continuous subbadditive and even function such that h(0) = 0 and h($\theta$) $\ge$ $\alpha$|$\theta$| for some $\alpha$ > 0. The h-mass of a k-polyhedral chain P =$\sum$j $\theta$j$\sigma$j in R n…

Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary and let E be a Riemannian vector bundle over M. If $\sigma$ denotes the sphere subbundle of E, we look for embeddings of $\sigma$ into E admitting a prescribed mean curvature.

We prove the $1$-dimensional flat chain conjecture in any complete and quasiconvex metric space, namely that metric $1$-currents can be approximated in mass by normal $1$-currents. The proof relies on a new Banach space isomorphism theorem,…

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian $3$-manifold with sectional curvatures between $0$ and $1$. A minimal $2$-sphere immersed in $M$ has area at least $4\pi$. If an embedded minimal sphere has area $4\pi$, then $M$ is isometric to the unit…

In this article, we investigate the Riemannian and semi-Riemannian metrics on the base space of the Boothby-Wang fibration of a closed regular non-Sasakian $(\kappa, \mu)$-manifold. To this end, we study a natural class of deviations of the…

This paper is concerned with zero currents of random section of a Hermitian line bundle $E$ over a compact oriented Riemannian manifold. Given a metric connection, heat flow yields a natural 1-parameter family of probability measures on the…

We are concerned with the global weak continuity of the Cartan structural system -- or equivalently, the Gauss--Codazzi--Ricci system -- on semi-Riemannian manifolds with lower regularity. For this purpose, we first formulate and prove a…

We demonstrate that the volume-renormalized mass for asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds recently introduced by the authors can be deduced from a reduced Hamiltonian perspective. In order to do this, we first use Michel's formalism of mass…

A singular riemannian foliation F on a complete riemannian manifold M is said to admit sections if each regular point of M is contained in a complete totally geodesic immersed submanifold (a section) that meets every leaf of F orthogonally…

This a survey on a series of recent papers in collaboration with Emanuele Spadaro on the regularity of area-minimizing currents in codimension higher than $1$.

This work adresses the question of density of piecewise constant (resp. rigid) functions in the space of vector valued functions with bounded variation (resp. deformation) with respect to the strict convergence. Such an approximation…

In this paper we show that for Riemannian manifolds with boundary the natural restriction map is a quasifibration between spaces of metrics of positive scalar curvature. We apply this result to study homotopy properties of spaces of such…

In this paper, we consider an area minimizing integral $m$-current $T$ within a submanifold $\Sigma$ of $\mathbb{R}^{m+n}$, taking a boundary $\Gamma$ with arbitrary multiplicity $Q \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}$, where $\Gamma$ and…

We consider the minimization of the $h$-mass over normal $1$-currents in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with coefficients in $\mathbb{R}^m$ and prescribed boundary. This optimization is known as multi-material transport problem and used in the context of…

Self-gravitating horizonless ultra-compact objects that possess light rings have attracted the attention of physicists and mathematicians in recent years. In the present compact paper we raise the following physically interesting question:…

We study the existence of projectable $G$-invariant Einstein metrics on the total space of $G$-equivariant fibrations $M=G/L\to G/K$, for a compact connected semisimple Lie group $G$. We obtain necessary conditions for the existence of such…

We establish that any affine manifold $(M,\nabla)$ endowed with a parallel volume form $\omega,$ admits, in any conformal class of Riemannian metrics, a representative $H$ for which $\nabla$ is the Levi-Civita connection. This provides a…

We investigate the local regularity of pointed spacetimes, that is, time-oriented Lorentzian manifolds in which a point and a future-oriented, unit timelike vector (an observer) are selected. Our main result covers the class of Einstein…

Let (F_n) be a sequence of (multivalued) meromorphic maps between compact Kaehler manifolds X1 and X2. We study the asymptotic distribution of preimages of points by F_n and the asymptotic distribution of fixed points for multivalued…
