We first partially extend a theorem of Topping, on the relation between mean curvature and intrinsic diameter, from immersed submanifolds of $\mathbb{R} ^{n} $ to almost everywhere immersed, closed submanifolds of a compact Riemannian…

Let $X_t$ be the (reflecting) diffusion process generated by $L:=\Delta+\nabla V$ on a complete connected Riemannian manifold $M$ possibly with a boundary $\partial M$, where $V\in C^1(M)$ such that $\mu(d x):= e^{V(x)}d x$ is a probability…

We compute the value of the simplicial volume for closed, oriented Riemannian manifolds covered by $\mathbb{H}^{2}\times\mathbb{H}^{2}$ explicitly, thus in particular for products of closed hyperbolic surfaces. This gives the first exact…

We investigate the convergence of the mean curvature flow of arbitrary codimension in Riemannian manifolds with bounded geometry. We prove that if the initial submanifold satisfies a pinching condition, then along the mean curvature flow…
