We study the spherical mean transform on $\rN^n$. The transform is characterized by the Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation. By looking at the spherical harmonic expansions, we obtain a system of 1+1-dimension hyperbolic equations, which provide…

In this paper, we prove that a Riemannian $n$-manifold $M$ with sectional curvature bounded above by $1$ that contains a minimal $2$-sphere of area $4\pi$ which has index at least $n-2$ has constant sectional curvature $1$. The proof uses…

For spherically symmetric repulsive Hamiltonians we prove Rellich's theorem, or identify the largest weighted space of Agmon-H\"ormander type where the generalized eigenfunctions are absent. The proof is intensively dependent on commutator…

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…

A theorem by Almgren establishes that any minimal $2$-sphere immersed in $\mathbb{S}^3$ is a totally geodesic equator. In this paper we give a purely geometric extension of Almgren's result, by showing that any immersed, real analytic…

We modify the proof of the disc embedding theorem for $4$-manifolds, which appeared as Theorem 5.1A in the book "Topology of 4-manifolds" by Freedman and Quinn, in order to construct geometrically dual spheres. These were claimed in the…

We construct an example of a Riemannian metric on the 2-torus such that its universal cover does not admit global Riemann normal coordinates.

Let $Z(Ann(r,R))$ be the class of all continuous functions $f$ on the annulus $Ann(r,R)$ in $\mathbb C^n$ with twisted spherical mean $f \times \mu_s(z)=0,$ whenever $z\in \mathbb C^n$ and $s >0$ satisfy the condition that the sphere…

We study the systolic area (defined as the ratio of the area over the square of the systole) of the 2-sphere endowed with a smooth riemannian metric as a function of this metric. This function, bounded from below by a positive constant over…

We prove the existence of a family of compact subdomains $\Omega$ of the flat cylinder $\mathbb{R}^N\times \mathbb{R}/2\pi\mathbb{Z}$ for which the Neumann eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian on $\Omega$ admits eigenfunctions with constant…

There is a topological embedding $\iota:\mathbb{S}^1\to\mathbb{R}^5$ such that $\pi_3(\mathbb{R}^5\setminus\iota(\mathbb{S}^1))=0$. Therefore, no $3$-sphere can be linked with $\iota(\mathbb{S}^1)$.

We construct a supermatrix model which has a classical solution representing the noncommutative (fuzzy) two-supersphere. Expanding supermatrices around the classical background, we obtain a gauge theory on a noncommutative superspace on…

Let $Z_{r,R}$ be the class of all continuous functions $f$ on the annulus $\Ann(r,R)$ in the real hyperbolic space $\mathbb B^n$ with spherical means $M_sf(x)=0$, whenever $s>0$ and $x\in \mathbb B^n$ are such that the sphere $S_s(x)\subset…

In this paper, we show that the 2-sphere does not exhibit symmetry of $L^p$ norms of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian for $p\geq 6$. In other words, there exists a sequence of spherical eigenfunctions $\psi_n$, with eigenvalues…

There is error in (2.1). I am very sorry for inconvenience.

We prove a number of structure and isomorphism results concerning the non-commutative Natsume-Olsen spheres $\mathbb{S}^{2n-1}_{\theta}$ deformed along a skew-symmetric matrix $\theta\in \mathbb{R}$. These include (a) the fact that two…

The energy density is computed for a U(2) Chern-Simons theory coupled to a non-relativistic fermion field (a theory of ``non-Abelian anyons'') under the assumptions of uniform charge and matter density. When the matter field is a spinless…

It was shown by E. Gluskin and V.D. Milman in [GAFA Lecture Notes in Math. 1807, 2003] that the classical arithmetic-geometric mean inequality can be reversed (up to a multiplicative constant) with high probability, when applied to…

The fermion representation for S = 1/2 spins is generalized to spins with arbitrary magnitudes. The symmetry properties of the representation is analyzed where we find that the particle-hole symmetry in the spinon Hilbert space of S =1/2…

We present a topological mechanism for superconductivity emerging from Chern-2 insulators. While, naively, time-reversal symmetry breaking is expected to prevent superconductivity, it turns out that the opposite is the case: An explicit…
