A central theme in Riemannian geometry is understanding the relationships between the curvature and the topology of a Riemannian manifold. Positive isotropic curvature (PIC) is a natural and much studied curvature condition which includes…

We classify the isoparametric functions on $\mathbb{R}^n\times\mathbb{M}^m$, $n, m\geq2$, with compact level sets, where $\mathbb{M}^m$ is a connected, closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $m$. Also, we classify the isoparametric…

Let $(M^n,g)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold which is not isometric to $\mathbb{R}^n$, has nonnegative Ricci curvature, Euclidean volume growth, and quadratic Riemann curvature decay. We prove that there exists a set $\mathcal{G}\subset…
