In this paper, we obtain the existence criteria for a geometic flow on noncompact affine Riemannian manifolds. Our results can be regarded as a real version of Lee-Tam [19]. As an application, we prove that a complete noncompact Hessian…

We prove a version of the well-known Denjoy-Ahlfors theorem about the number of asymptotic values of an entire function for properly immersed minimal surfaces of arbitrary codimension in R^N. The finiteness of the number of ends is proved…

We generalize an inequality of Besson-Courtois-Gallot about volume and simplicial volume of closed manifolds to the $\ell_1$-norm of all the homology classes of complete manifolds. The inequality involves the critical exponent of the…

We prove the existence of nontrivial closed surfaces with constant anisotropic mean curvature with respect to elliptic integrands in closed smooth $3$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. The constructed min-max surfaces are smooth with at…

This article deals with topological assumptions under which the minimal volume entropy of a closed manifold, and more generally of a finite simplicial complex, vanishes or is positive. In the first part of the article, we present…

We study biharmonic hypersurfaces and biharmonic submanifolds in a Riemannian manifold. One of interesting problems in this direction is Chen's conjecture which says that any biharmonic submanifold in a Euclidean space is minimal. From the…

On a smooth asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold with non-compact boundary, we prove a positive mass theorem for metrics which are only continuous across a compact hypersurface. As an application, we obtain a positive mass theorem on…

Thurston's Ending Lamination Conjecture states that a hyperbolic 3-manifold N with finitely generated fundamental group is uniquely determined by its topological type and its end invariants. In this paper we prove this conjecture for…

We prove two rigidity theorems for open (complete and noncompact) $n$-manifolds $M$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature and the infimum of volume growth order $<2$. The first theorem asserts that the Riemannian universal cover of $M$ has…

We provide a reduction in the classification problem for non-compact, homogeneous, Einstein manifolds. Using this work, we verify the (Generalized) Alekseevskii Conjecture for a large class of homogeneous spaces.

Gradient steady Ricci solitons are natural generalizations of Ricci-flat manifolds. In this article, we prove a curvature gap theorem for gradient steady Ricci solitons with nonconstant potential functions; and a curvature gap theorem for…

Understanding the relationships between geometry and topology is a central theme in Riemannian geometry. We establish two results on the fundamental groups of open (complete and noncompact) $n$-manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and…

We explore a definition of uniformity on noncompact manifolds that does not require a Riemannian metric, but is equivalent to bounded gemetry. These are unfinished research notes (and will likely never be published), but since they were…

For a closed Riemannian manifold $M$ with a compact Lie group $G$ acting by isometries, we show that there are infinitely many $G$-invariant minimal hypersurfaces. Under the assumption that $M$ contains at most a finite number of minimal…

A formulation of the generalized minimal output entropy conjecture for Gaussian channels is presented. It asserts that, for states with fixed input entropy, the minimal value of the output entropy of the channel (i.e. the minimal output…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a complete $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold of finite volume, whose curvature tensor has nullity at least $n-2$, to be a geometric graph manifold. In the process, we show that Nomizu's…

Quantum ergodicity asserts that almost all infinite sequences of eigenstates of a quantized ergodic system are equidistributed in the phase space. On the other hand, there are might exist exceptional sequences which converge to different…

In this paper, we develop a general existence theory for properly embedded minimal surfaces with free boundary in any compact Riemannian 3-manifold $M$ with boundary $\partial M$. The main feature of our result is that no convexity…

In this work, we prove the existence of a third embedded minimal hypersurface spanning a closed submanifold $\gamma$ contained in the boundary of a compact Riemannian manifold with convex boundary, when it is known a priori the existence of…

We prove a descriptive theorem on the extrinsic geometry of an embedded minimal surface of injectivity radius zero in a homogeneously regular Riemannian three-manifold, in a certain small intrinsic neighborhood of a point of almost-minimal…
