In this paper, we discuss two well-known open problems in the regularity theory for nonlinear, conformally invariant elliptic systems in dimensions $n\ge 3$, with a critical nonlinearity: $H$-systems (equations of hypersurfaces of…
The aim of this paper is to investigate the contraction properties of $p$-Wasserstein distances with respect to convolution in Euclidean spaces both qualitatively and quantitatively. We connect this question to the question of uniform…
In [2], the authors develop a global correspondence between immersed weakly horospherically convex hypersurfaces $\phi:M^n \to \mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ and a class of conformal metrics on domains of the round sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$. Some of the key…
A peeling theorem for the Weyl tensor in higher dimensional Lorentzian manifolds is presented. We obtain it by generalizing a proof from the four dimensional case. We derive a generic behavior, discuss interesting subcases and retrieve the…
We describe explicit open books on arbitrary plumbings of oriented circle bundles over closed oriented surfaces. We show that, for a non-positive plumbing, the open book we construct is horizontal and the corresponding compatible contact…
We compute a Bochner type formula for static three-manifolds and deduce some applications in the case of positive scalar curvature. We also explain in details the known general construction of the (Riemannian) Einstein (n+1)-manifold…
In this paper, we prove a finite dimensional approximation scheme for the Wiener measure on closed Riemannian manifolds, establishing a generalization for $L^{1}$-functionals, of the approach followed by Andersson and Driver on [1]. We…
The conjectures of Manin and Peyre are confirmed for a certain threefold.
The Manin-Peyre conjecture is established for a split singular quintic del Pezzo surface with singularity type $\mathbf{A}_2$ and two split singular quartic del Pezzo surfaces with singularity types $\mathbf{A}_3+\mathbf{A}_1$ and…
Planar linkages are a rich area of study motivated by practical applications in engineering mechanisms. A central result is Kempe's Universality Theorem, which states that semi-algebraic sets can be realized by planar linkages. Polyhedral…
We give a combinatorial description of the Legendrian contact homology algebra associated to a Legendrian link in $S^1\times S^2$ or any connected sum $\#^k(S^1\times S^2)$, viewed as the contact boundary of the Weinstein manifold obtained…
We study the Rouquier dimension of wrapped Fukaya categories of Liouville manifolds and pairs, and apply this invariant to various problems in algebraic and symplectic geometry. On the algebro-geometric side, we introduce a new method based…
Using recent work on high dimensional Lutz twists and families of Weinstein structures we show that any almost contact structure on a 5-manifold is homotopic to a contact structure.
In this paper, we study the coupled Einstein constraint equations on complete manifolds through the conformal method, focusing on non-compact manifolds with flexible asymptotics. This is physically well-motivated by standard cosmological…
Symplectic fillings of standard tight contact structures on lens spaces are understood and classified. The situation is different if one considers non-standard tight structures (i.e. those that are virtually overtwisted), for which a…
We present a simple gedanken experiment in which a compact object traverses a spacetime with three macroscopic spatial dimensions and $n$ compact dimensions. The compactification radius is allowed to vary, as a function of the object's…
Let $(M,\omega)$ be a symplectic manifold endowed with a agrangian foliation ${\cal L}$, it has been shown by Weinstein [16] hat the symplectic structure of $M$ defines on each leaf of ${\cal L}$, connection which curvature and torsion…
Lie groups considered as three-dimensional almost paracontact almost paracomplex Riemannian manifolds are investigated. In each basic class of the classification used for the manifolds under consideration, a correspondence is established…
This article investigates a new gauge theoretic approach to Einstein's equations in dimension 4. Whilst aspects of the formalism are already explained in various places in the mathematics and physics literature, our first goal is to give a…
A contact form $\lambda$ on a closed contact three-manifold $(M,\xi)$ is called weakly convex if either it has no contractible Reeb orbit, or the first Chern class of $\xi$ vanishes on $\pi_2(M)$, and the index of every contractible Reeb…
