Topology and geometry are deeply intertwined in the study of surfaces, though their interaction manifests differently in smooth and discrete settings. In the smooth category, a classical result asserts that any closed smooth surface…

By replacing the torus with an elementary abelian two-group, we generalize the maximal symmetry result of Grove and Searle and the half-maximal symmetry result of Wilking for positively curved manifolds with an isometric torus action.

Given a compact four dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with smooth boundary, we consider the evolution equation by $Q$-curvature in the interior keeping the $T$-curvature and the mean curvature to be zero and the evolution…

We prove two types of results. First we develop the decoupling theory for hypersurfaces with nonzero Gaussian curvature, which extends our earlier work from \cite{BD3}. As a consequence of this we obtain sharp (up to $\epsilon$ losses)…

For Gauss curvature equation (or more general Toda systems) defined on two dimensional spaces, the vanishing rate of certain curvature functions on blowup points is a key estimate for numerous applications. However, if these equations have…

We prove that strictly convex surfaces moving by $K^{\alpha/2}$ become spherical as they contract to points, provided $\alpha$ lies in the range $[1,2]$. In the process we provide a natural candidate for a curvature pinching quantity for…

We show that in the neighborhood of the tripling bifurcation of a periodic orbit of a Hamiltonian flow or of a fixed point of an area preserving map, there is generically a bifurcation that creates a ``twistless'' torus. At this…

Solving a long-standing open question in convex geometry, we will show that typical convex surfaces contain points of infinite curvature in all tangent directions. To prove this, we use an easy curvature definition imitating the idea of…

Under the quadratic-decay-conditions of the radial curvatures of an end, we shall derive growth estimates of solutions to the eigenvalue equation and show the absence of eigenvalues.

We study the tau function of the KP-hierarchy associated with an (n,1) curve $y^n=x-\alpha$. If $\alpha=0$ the corresponding tau function is 1. On the other hand if $\alpha\neq 0$ the tau function becomes the exponential of a quadratic…

We establish necessary conditions for a regular curve to lie on a circular cylinder in terms of its curvature $\kappa$ and torsion $\tau$. By identifying a fundamental function $\psi = \sin^2 \alpha$, representing the squared sine of the…

If there exists a quaternionic Bertrand curve in E4, then its torsion or bitorsion vanishes. So we can say that there is no quaternionic Bertrand curves whose torsion and bitorsion are non-zero. Hence by using the method which is given by…
