In this paper, we study the first eigenvalue of Jacobi operator on an $n$-dimensional non-totally umbilical compact hypersurface with constant mean curvature $H$ in the unit sphere $S^{n+1}(1)$. We give an optimal upper bound for the first…

In this short note, as a simple application of the strong result proved recently by B\"ohm and Wilking, we give a classification on closed manifolds with 2-nonnegative curvature operator. Moreover, by the new invariant cone constructions of…

We describe a set of conformally covariant boundary operators associated to the Paneitz operator, in the sense that they give rise to a conformally covariant energy functional for the Paneitz operator on a compact Riemannian manifold with…

We study the topology of closed, simply-connected, 6-dimensional Riemannian manifolds of positive sectional curvature which admit isometric actions by $SU(2)$ or $SO(3)$. We show that their Euler characteristic agrees with that of the known…

This is a survey of recent results on manifolds with positive curvature from a series of lecture given in Guanajuato, Mexico in 2010. It also contains some hitsorical comments.

Together with spaces of constant sectional curvature and products of a real line with a manifold of constant curvature, the socalled Egorov spaces and $\varepsilon$-spaces exhaust the class of $n$-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds admitting…

We show the contractibility of spaces of invariant Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature on compact connected manifolds of dimension at least two, with and without boundary and equipped with compact Lie group actions. On manifolds…

Riemannian metrics of positive Ricci curvature were constructed on certain moment-angle manifolds.

Infinitesimal holomorphic realizations for the Schr\"{o}dinger-Weil representation and the discrete series representations of the Jacobi group are constructed. Explicit expressions of the basic differential operators are obtained. The…

We consider symmetric Jacobi operators with recurrence coefficients such that the corresponding difference equation is in the limit circle case. Equivalently, this means that the associated moment problem is indeterminate. Our main goal is…

We study the bispectrality of Jacobi type polynomials, which are eigenfunctions of higher-order differential operators and can be defined by taking suitable linear combinations of a fixed number of consecutive Jacobi polynomials. Jacobi…

We study the quantum Riemannian geometry of quantum projective spaces of any dimension. In particular we compute the Riemann and Ricci tensors, using previously introduced quantum metrics and quantum Levi-Civita connections. We show that…

We show asymptotic expansions of the eigenfunctions of certain perturbations of the Jacobi operator in a bounded interval, deducing equiconvergence results between expansions with respect to the associated orthonormal basis and expansions…

We prove that all currently known examples of manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature satisfy a stronger condition: their curvature operator can be modified with a 4-form to become positive-semidefinite.

We provide an explicit spectral representation for several weighted Hankel matrices by means of the so called commutator method. These weighted Hankel matrices are found in the commutant of Jacobi matrices associated with orthogonal…

In this paper we study real hypersurfaces in the complex quadric space $Q^m$ whose structure Jacobi operator commutes with their structure tensor field. We show that the Reeb curvature $\alpha$ of such hypersurfaces is constant and if…

We consider the following properties of compact oriented irreducible graph-manifolds: to contain a $\pi_1$-injective surface (immersed, virtually embedded or embedded), be (virtually) fibered over $S^1$, and to carry a metric of nonpositive…

In this paper, we introduce a new positivity notion for curvature of Riemannian manifolds and obtain characterizations for spherical space forms and the complex projective space $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^n$.

In this paper we define the bi-orthogonal sectional curvature and we present two modified Yamabe invariants for compact 4-dimensional manifolds. In particular we obtained a relationship between one of these invariants and a Hopf conjecture.
