Let $M\subset\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$ be a smooth affine hypersurface defined by the equation $xy+p(z_1,\cdots,z_{n-1})=1$, where $p$ is a Brieskorn-Pham polynomial and $n\geq2$. We prove that if $L\subset M$ is an orientable exact Lagrangian…

We use the generalized Gauss-Bonnet formula for Riemannian polyhedra discovered by Allendoerfer, Weil and Chern to show that hyperbolic space of dimension $n$ has no isometric immersion into Euclidean space of dimension $2n-1$.

We say that a topologically embedded 3-sphere in a smoothing of Euclidean 4-space is a barrier provided, roughly, no diffeomorphism of the 4-manifold moves the 3-sphere off itself. In this paper we construct infinitely many one parameter…

We show that for every convex polyhedral sphere $P$ in $S^3$, there exist two canonical, non-edge-to-edge tilings of $S^{2}$ whose tiles are given by all the faces of $P$ and the dual convex polyhedral sphere $P^*$ to $P$. Under the…

In this article we first show that any finite cover of the moduli space of closed Riemann surfaces of genus $g$ with $g\geq 2$ does not admit any Riemannian metric $ds^2$ of nonnegative scalar curvature such that $ds^2 \succ ds_{T}^2$ where…

Let X be a cubic surface over a local number field k. Given an Azumaya algebra on X, we describe the local evaluation map X(k) -> Q/Z in two cases, showing a sharp dependence on the geometry of the reduction of X. We show that a suitably…

For an $r$-tuple $(\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_r)$ of special orthogonal $d\times d$ matrices, we say that the Euclidean $(d-1)$-dimensional sphere $S^{d-1}$ is $(\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_r)$-divisible if there is a subset $A\subseteq S^{d-1}$…

We show that there exists an absolute constant $c_0<1$ such that for all $n \ge 2$, any measurable set $A \subset S^{n-1}$ of density at least $c_0$ contains $n$ pairwise orthogonal vectors. The result is sharp up to the value of the…

The Stein-Tomas restriction theorem on Euclidean space says one can meaningfully restrict $\hat{f}$ to the unit sphere of $\mathbb{R}^n$ provided $f \in L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with $1 < p < 2$. This result can be rewritten in terms of the…

We answer a question that was asked by Albert Baernstein II, regarding the coefficients of circular symmetrization. The conjecture is not true generically.

We give a proof of the $A_2$ conjecture in geometrically doubling metric spaces (GDMS), i.e. a metric space where one can fit not more than a fixed amount of disjoint balls of radius $r$ in a ball of radius $2r$. Our proof consists of three…

In this paper a loophole in the SU(2) gauge anomaly is presented. It is shown that using several topological tools a theory can be designed that implements the quantization of a single Weyl doublet anomaly free while keeping the non-abelian…

We show that the Urysohn sphere is pseudofinite. As a consequence, we derive an approximate $0$-$1$ law for finite metric spaces of diameter at most $1$.

We prove that for any $d>0$ there exists an embedding of the Riemann sphere $\mathbb P^1$ in a smooth complex surface, with self-intersection $d$, such that the germ of this embedding cannot be extended to an embedding in an algebraic…

The present paper starts with an introduction to quaternions and then defines the 3-dimmensional sphere as the set of quaternions of length one. The quaternion group induces on $\mathbb{S}^3$ a structure of noncommutative Lie group. This…

We prove a Riemannian positive mass theorem for manifolds with a single asymptotically flat end, but otherwise arbitrary other ends, which can be incomplete and contain negative scalar curvature. The incompleteness and negativity is…

Let S be a sphere in R^n such that S\capQ^n\neq\emptyset and let Cl denote the closure operator in the Euclidean topology of R^n. If the center of S is in Q^n, then Cl(S\capQ^n) is S, as is easily proved. If the center of S is not in Q^n,…

Given the unital C$^*$-algebra $A$, the unitary orbit of the projector $p_0=\begin{pmatrix}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ in the C$^*$-algebra $M_2(A)$ of $2\times 2$ matrices with coefficients in $A$ is called in this paper, the Riemann…

We consider the following generalisation of a well-known problem in Riemannian geometry: When is a smooth real-valued function s on a given compact n-dimensional manifold M (with or without boundary) the scalar curvature of some smooth…

We prove that in the three dimensional sphere with a bumpy metric or a metric with positive Ricci curvature, there exist at least four distinct embedded minimal two-spheres. This confirms a conjecture of S. T. Yau in 1982 for bumpy metrics…
