We demonstrate the existence of quasiconformal mappings on closed manifolds that cannot be decomposed as a composition of mappings with arbitrarily small conformal distortion.

This is the second in a two part series of papers concerning Morse quasiflats - higher dimensional analogs of Morse quasigeodesics. Our focus here is on their asymptotic structure. In metric spaces with convex geodesic bicombings, we prove…

In this article, we consider a complete, non-compact almost Hermitian manifold whose curvature is asymptotic to that of the complex hyperbolic plane. Under natural geometric conditions, we show that such a manifold arises as the interior of…

For manifolds with a distinguished asymptotically flat end, we prove a density theorem which produces harmonic asymptotics on the distinguished end, while allowing for points of incompleteness (or negative scalar curvature) away from this…

We show that a complete $m$-dimensional immersed submanifold $M$ of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with $a(M)<1$ is properly immersed and have finite topology, where $a(M)\in [0,\infty]$ is an scaling invariant number that gives the rate that the norm of…

This article investigates the asymptotics of $\rm{G}_2$-monopoles. First, we prove that when the underlying $\rm{G}_2$-manifold is nonparabolic (i.e. admits a positive Green's function), finite intermediate energy monopoles with bounded…

In this article, we propose some conditions on the modified defect relations of the Gauss map of a complete minimal surface $M$ to show that $M$ has finite total curvature.

In this short note, we find a new gap phenomena on Riemannian manifolds, which says that for any complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, if the scalar curvature decays faster than quadratically, then it is…

The ends of a complete embedded minimal surface of {\em finite total curvature} are well understood (every such end is asymptotic to a catenoid or to a plane). We give a similar characterization for a large class of ends of {\em infinite…

We consider 3-dimensional hyperbolic cone-manifolds, singular along infinite lines, which are ``convex co-compact'' in a natural sense. We prove an infinitesimal rigidity statement when the angle around the singular lines is less than…

For non-compact manifolds with boundary we prove that bounded geometry defined by coordinate-free curvature bounds is equivalent to bounded geometry defined using bounds on the metric tensor in geodesic coordinates. We produce a nice atlas…

We prove that strong finite total curvature complete hypersurfaces of (n+1)-euclidean space are proper and diffeomorphic to a compact manifold minus finitely many points. With an additional condition, we also prove that the Gauss map of…

In this note we prove that any closed graph manifold admitting a metric of non-positive sectional curvature (NPC-metric) has a finite cover, which is fibered over the circle. An explicit criterion to have a finite cover, which is fibered…

We prove that if an orientable 3-manifold $M$ admits a complete Riemannian metric whose scalar curvature is positive and has a subquadratic decay at infinity, then it decomposes as a (possibly infinite) connected sum of spherical manifolds…

The conullity of a curvature tensor is the codimension of its kernel. We consider the cases of conullity two in any dimension and conullity three in dimension four. We show that these conditions are compatible with non-negative sectional…
