In this note we establish several versions of a compactness theorem for submanifolds. In particular we require only bounds on the second fundamental form and do not assume volume or diameter bounds. As an application we prove a compactness…

Berwald geometries are Finsler geometries close to (pseudo)-Riemannian geometries. We establish a simple first order partial differential equation as necessary and sufficient condition, which a given Finsler Lagrangian has to satisfy to be…

Finsler spacetime geometry is a canonical extension of Riemannian spacetime geometry. It is based on a general length measure for curves (which does not necessarily arise from a spacetime metric) and it is used as an effective description…

We give a condition on the curvature tensors of Riemannian manifolds that admit Lipschitz approximation by polyhedral metrics with curvature bounded below or above. We show that this condition is also sufficient for the existence of local…

Self-similar models are important in general relativity and other fundamental theories. In this paper we shall discuss the ``similarity hypothesis'', which asserts that under a variety of physical circumstances solutions of these theories…

We obtain Harnack estimates for a class of curvature flows in Riemannian manifolds of constant non-negative sectional curvature as well as in the Lorentzian Minkowski and de Sitter spaces. Furthermore, we prove a Harnack estimate with a…

In the conformal class of Euclidean space, we give some volume comparison theorems with help of Q-curvature. Meanwhile, for compact four dimensional manifolds with non-negative scalar curvature, we give a volume rigidity theorem with…

Let f be a dominating meromorphic self-map of large topological degree on a compact Kaehler manifold. We give a new construction of the equilibrium measure of f and prove that it is exponentially mixing. Then, we deduce the central limit…

We prove various comparison theorems of the $i$-th eigenvalue $\lambda_i$ of the Laplacian on fibred Riemannian manifolds by using fiberwise spherical and Euclidean (or hyperbolic) symmetrization. In particular we generalize the…

We develop the celebrated semigroup approach \`a la Bakry et al on Finsler manifolds, where natural Laplacian and heat semigroup are nonlinear, based on the Bochner-Weitzenb\"ock formula established by Sturm and the author. We show the…

This paper is the first in a series of paper where we describe the differential operators on general nonlinear metric measure spaces, namely, the Finsler spaces. We try to propose a general method for gradient estimates of the positive…

Comparison geometry for Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature has been extensively developed by Wei-Wylie and others. Motivated by the weighted sectional curvature framework introduced by Wylie and further developed by Kennard-Wylie-Yeroshkin, we…

We propose a unified approach to the theory of connections in the geometry of sprays and Finsler metrics which, in particular, gives a simple explanation of the well-known fact that all the classical Finslerian connections provide exactly…

We prove that in a compact Riemannian manifold, the $m$-minimal clusters of sufficiently small total volume are connected and with small diameter, while in a more general Finsler manifold they are done by at most $m$ connected components of…

We consider a natural mechanical system on a Finsler manifold and study its \emph{curvature} using the intrinsic Jacobi equations (called \emph{Jacobi curves}) along the extremals of the least action of the system. The curvature for such a…

We establish some important inequalities under the condition that the weighted Ricci curvature $\mathrm{Ric}_{\infty}\geq K$ for some constant $K >0$ by using improved Bochner inequality and its integrated form. Firstly, we obtain a sharp…

In this paper, inspired by Schur's comparison theorem about curves in Euclidean space, we mainly provide a Schur's type volume comparison theorem, which is about the volumes of the boundaries of open balls in a complete $n$-dimensional…

We study the global geometry of surfaces in Sasakian space forms whose mean curvature vector is parallel in the normal bundle (these include the Riemannian Heisenberg space of dimension $2n+1$). We prove a codimension reduction theorem. We…

We prove multiplicity theorems for Keller $ C_c^1 $-functionals on Frechet spaces and Finsler manifolds which are invariant under the action of a discrete subgroup. For such functionals, we evaluate the minimal number of critical points by…

Hypersurfaces embedded in conformal manifolds appear frequently as boundary data in boundary-value problems in cosmology and string theory. Viewed as the non-null conformal infinity of a spacetime, we consider hypersurfaces embedded in a…
