It is well known that isoperimetric regions in a smooth compact $(n+1)$-manifold are smooth, up to a closed set of codimension at most $6$. In this note, we first construct an $8$-dimensional compact smooth manifold whose unique…
To study a noncompact Riemannian manifold, it is often useful to find a compactification. We discuss several common compactifications and survey some recent results.
We consider a compact, oriented, smooth Riemannian manifold $M$ (with or without boundary) and we suppose $G$ is a torus acting by isometries on $M$. Given $X$ in the Lie algebra and corresponding vector field $X_M$ on $M$, one defines…
We calculate the rational cohomology of the classifying space of the diffeomorphism group of the manifolds $U_{g,1}^n:= \#^g(S^n \times S^{n+1})\setminus \mathrm{int}{D^{2n+1}}$, for large $g$ and $n$, up to approximately degree $n$. The…

In this paper, we discuss the associated family of harmonic maps $\mathcal{F}: M \rightarrow G/K$ from a Riemann surface $M$ into inner symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type which are either algebraic or totally symmetric. These…
This paper is dedicated to the study of deformations of coassociative 4-folds in a G_2 manifold which have conical singularities. We stratify the types of deformations allowed into three problems. The main result for each problem states…
We prove the existence and the uniqueness of a conformally equivariant symbol calculus and quantization on any conformally flat pseudo-Riemannian manifold $(M,\rg)$. In other words, we establish a canonical isomorphism between the spaces of…
This is the second in a sequence of three articles exploring the relationship between commutative algebras and $E_\infty$-algebras in characteristic $p$ and mixed characteristic. Given a topological space $X,$ we construct, in a manner…
We collect three observations on the homology for Smale spaces defined by Putnam. The definition of such homology groups involves four complexes. It is shown here that a simple convergence theorem for spectral sequences can be used to prove…
Given a manifold with corners $X$, we associates to it the corner structure simplicial complex $\Sigma_X$. Its reduced K-homology is isomorphic to the K-theory of the $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{K}_b(X)$ of b-compact operators on $X$. Moreover,…
Let $M$ be a $C^2$-smooth Riemannian manifold with boundary and $N$ a complete $C^2$-smooth Riemannian manifold. We show that each stationary $p$-harmonic mapping $u\colon M\to N$, whose image lies in a compact subset of $N$, is locally…
Connections on a trivial bundle MxG can be identified with their holonomy maps, i.e. with homomorphisms of a groupoid of paths in M into the gauge group G. For a connected compact G, various algebras depending on the set of the smooth…
The spaces of Riemannian metrics on a closed manifold $M$ are studied. On the space ${\mathcal M}$ of all Riemannian metrics on $M$ the various weak Riemannian structures are defined and the corresponding connections are studied. The space…
