In a recent article by Farah and the authors, a strong lifting theorem was proved for a class of coordinate-respecting maps between reduced products of discrete structures, hereby working under mild Forcing Axioms. We generalise this…

We study geometric rigidity of a class of fractals, which is slightly larger than the collection of self-conformal sets. Namely, using a new method, we shall prove that a set of this class is contained in a smooth submanifold or is totally…

This article gives a self-contained proof of Mostow Rigidity, at least modulo undergrad real analysis. The proof should be accessible to grad students interested in geometry and topology. It has no new research, but I think that this is an…

We solve the rigidity problem for uniform Roe algebras, by showing that two uniformly locally finite metric spaces with isomorphic uniform Roe algebras are bijectively coarsely equivalent.

In this paper we prove the Hodge conjecture for products of the form $S_1 \times ... S_n$, where $S_i$ are smooth projective surfaces such that $p_g(S_i)=1, q(S_i)=2$. We also prove the Hodge conjecture for arbitrary self-products of a K3…

We introduce the concept of strongly independent matrices over any field, and prove the existence of such matrices for certain fields and the non-existence for algebraically closed fields. Then we apply strongly independent matrices over…

We formulate and prove a profinite rigidity theorem for the twisted Alexander polynomials up to several types of finite ambiguity. We also establish torsion growth formulas of the twisted homology groups in a $\mathbb{Z}$-cover of a…

In this paper we develop a unified theory for cone metric spaces over a solid vector space. As an application of the new theory we present full statements of the iterated contraction principle and the Banach contraction principle in cone…

Let $\mathbb{k}$ be a commutative ring with global dimension zero. We show that we can rigidify homotopy coherent comodules in connective modules over the Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum of $\mathbb{k}$. That is, the $\infty$-category of…

The main motivation here is a question: whether any polyhedron which can be subdivided into convex pieces without adding a vertex, and which has the same vertices as a convex polyhedron, is infinitesimally rigid. We prove that it is indeed…

We prove that for compact, non-contractible, one dimensional geodesic spaces, a version of the marked length spectrum conjecture holds. For a compact one dimensional geodesic space X, we define a subspace Conv(X). When X is…

In 1972, E. P. Senkin generalized the celebrated theorem of A. V. Pogorelov on unique determination of compact convex surfaces by their intrinsic metrics in the Euclidean 3-space $E^3$ to higher dimensional Euclidean spaces $E^{n+1}$ under…

This paper contains a thorough investigation of invariant distributions supported on limit sets of discrete groups acting convex cocompactly on symmetric spaces of negative curvature. It can be considered as a continuation of…

In this paper, we prove a cocycle version of marked length spectrum rigidity. There are two consequences. The first is marked length pattern rigidity for arithmetic hyperbolic locally symmetric manifolds. The second is strengthen marked…

We explain a correct proof of the decomposition theorem for direct images of constant Hodge modules by proper K\"ahler morphisms of complex manifolds. We also give some examples showing certain difficulty in the non-constant Hodge module…

We give an abstract version of the hard Lefschetz theorem, the Lefschetz decomposition and the Hodge-Riemann theorem for compact Kaehler manifolds.

The purpose of this article is to produce effective versions of some rigidity results in algebra and geometry. On the geometric side, we focus on the spectrum of primitive geodesic lengths (resp., complex lengths) for arithmetic hyperbolic…

We prove a new rigidity criterion for families of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. Motivated by known non-rigid examples, we conjecture that a family over a quasi-projective curve is rigid if it admits a smooth compactification whose…

This is a significantly improved version with new applications. We show that there are many cohomogeneity one manifolds which do not admit an analytic invariant metric with non-negative sectional curvature, although they do have a smooth…

Cone spherical metrics are conformal metrics with constant curvature one and finitely many conical singularities on compact Riemann surfaces. A cone spherical metric is called irreducible if each developing map of the metric does not have…
