This article is concerned with the stability of triharmonic maps and in particular triharmonic hypersurfaces. After deriving a number of general statements on the stability of triharmonic maps we focus on the stability of triharmonic…

We study the Cauchy horizon (CH) singularity of a spherical charged black hole perturbed nonlinearly by a self-gravitating massless scalar field. We show numerically that the singularity is weak both at the early and at the late sections of…

We point out how some recent developments in the theory of constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics can be used to clarify the existence issue for such metrics in the special case of geometrically ruled complex surfaces.

A $k$-harmonic map is a critical point of the $k$-energy in the space of smooth maps between two Riemannian manifolds. In this paper, we prove that if $M^{n} (n\ge 3)$ is a CMC proper triharmonic hypersurface with at most three distinct…

We derive a sufficient condition guaranteeing that a singularly perturbed linear time-varying system is strongly monotone with respect to a matrix cone $C$ of rank $k$. This implies that the singularly perturbed system inherits the…

We show that every quaternion-K\"ahler manifold of negative scalar curvature is stable as an Einstein manifold and therefore scalar curvature rigid. In particular, this implies that every irreducible nonpositive Einstein manifold of special…

We show that an entire branched cover of finite distortion cannot have a compact branch set if its distortion satisfies a certain asymptotic growth condition. We furthermore show that this bound is strict by constructing an entire,…

In this paper we study invariant almost Hermitian geometry on generalized flag manifolds. We will focus on providing examples of K\"ahler like scalar curvature metric, that is, almost Hermitian structures $(g,J)$ satisfying $s=2s_{\rm C}$,…

On a compact Kahler manifold, one can define global invariants by integrating local invariants of the metric. Assume that a global invariant thus obtained depends only on the Kahler class. Then we show that the integrand can be decomposed…

In this paper, we present a unified flow approach to prescribed Chern scalar curvature problem on compact Hermitian manifolds with negative Gauduchon degree. When the conformal class of its Hermitian metric contains a balanced metric, we…

We present in this note a lower bound for the Calabi functional in a given K\"ahler class. This yields an integral inequality for constant scalar curvature metrics, which can be viewed as a refined version of Yau's Chern number inequality.

We study a higher order conformally coupled scalar tensor theory endowed with a covariant geometric constraint relating the scalar curvature with the Gauss-Bonnet scalar. It is a particular Horndeski theory including a canonical kinetic…

We define the total curvature of a semialgebraic embedding of a graph in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space. We prove that it satisfies a Chern-Lashof type inequality and we describe when the equality holds. We also prove a generalization of…

In this chapter we consider perturbations and stability of higher dimensional black holes focusing on the static background case. We first review a gauge-invariant formalism for linear perturbations in a fairly generic class of…

We study the compactness problem for moduli spaces of holomorphic supercurves which, being motivated by supergeometry, are perturbed such as to allow for transversality. We give an explicit construction of limiting objects for sequences of…

We develop a regularity and compactness theory for stable capillary minimal hypersurfaces in the half-space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ with contact angle $\theta \in (0,\pi)$ and dimension $n \geq 2$. As a consequence, we obtain the generalized…

We extend our previous result on the behavior of the quadratic part of a complex points of a small $\mathcal{C}^{2}$-perturbation of a real $4$-manifold embedded in a complex $3$-manifold. We describe the change of the structure of a normal…

In this paper we study invariant almost Hermitian geometry on generalized flag manifolds which the isotropy representation decompose into two or three irreducible components. We will provide a classification of such flag manifolds admitting…

We initiate the study of the norm-squared of the momentum map as a rigorous tool in infinite dimensions. In particular, we calculate the Hessian at a critical point, show that it is positive semi-definite along the complexified orbit, and…
