We explore the role of symmetry in three obdurate conjectures of differential geometry: the Carath\'eodory, the Willmore and the Lawson Conjectures. All three Conjectures concern surfaces in 3-dimensional space-forms, which have a high…
We consider generic rank two distributions on 5-dimensional nilmanifolds, and show that the analytic torsion of their Rumin complex coincides with the Ray-Singer torsion.
The famous Hopf-Rinow Theorem states, amongst others, that a Riemannian manifold is metrically complete if and only if it is geodesically complete. The Clifton-Pohl torus fails to be geodesically complete proving that this theorem cannot be…
We prove that the singular sets for the Lagrangian solution maps of the two-dimensional inviscid Euler and generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equations are Gaussian null sets. To achieve this we carry out a spectral analysis of an…
We consider higher-dimensional generalizations of the $\alpha$-Grushin plane, focusing on the problem of classification of geodesics that minimize length, also known as optimal synthesis. Solving Hamilton's equations on these spaces using…
We investigate geometric analysis on metric measure spaces equipped with asymmetric distance functions. Extending concepts from the symmetric case, we introduce upper gradients and corresponding $L^q$-energy functionals as well as…
We establish positive mass type theorems for asymptotically locally flat (ALF) manifolds, which have asymptotic ends modeled on circle bundles over a Euclidean base with fibers of constant length. In particular for dimensions $n\leq 7$, the…
On a compact manifold, the solutions of the initial value problem for the heat equation with currential initial conditions are smooth families of forms for $t>0$. If the initial condition is an exact submanifold $L$ then the integral in $t$…
We establish a local equivalence between toric steady K\"ahler-Ricci solitons and $A$-type toric generalized K\"ahler-Ricci solitons (GKRS). Under natural global conditions we show this equivalence extends to complete GKRS, yielding a…
For contact manifolds, it is well-known that the map which assigns to an infinitesimal contact transformation its contact Hamiltonian function is a linear isomorphism, and an explicit local formula for its inverse can be given. In contrast,…
We investigate a class of semi-Riemannian manifolds characterized by smooth metric signature changes with a transverse radical. This class includes spacetimes relevant to cosmological models such as the Hartle-Hawking "no boundary"…
We study deformations of geometric structures on some LVM manifolds of complex dimension $3$. More precisely, we study resonant structures, a particular type of $(G,X)$-structures, via the Ehresmann-Thurston principle, and their link with…
Caffarelli-Hardt-Simon used the minimal surface equation on the Simons cone $C(S^3\times S^3)$ to generate newer examples of minimal hypersurfaces with isolated singularities. Hardt-Simon proved that every area-minimizing quadratic cone…
In this paper, we prove some Willmore-type inequalities for closed hypersurfaces in weighted manifolds with nonnegative Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature. In particular, we give a sharp Willmore type inequality in steady gradient Ricci…
Let $(M,F)$ be a connected (not necessarily compact) foliated manifold carrying a complete Riemannian metric $g^{TM}$. We generalize Gromov's $\mathrm{K}$-cowaist using the coverings of $M$, as well as defining a closely related concept…
We prove that not every harmonic map from $S^{2}$ to $S^{2}$ can arise as a limit of Ginzburg--Landau critical points. More precisely, we show that the only degree-one harmonic maps that can be approximated in this way are rotations. This…
In this paper, we present extensions of the classical Bonnet-Myers theorem for Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Our results provide criteria for compactness and a method for estimating the diameter of such manifolds…
Pillow boxes are surfaces used for gift boxes, packaging, and even architectural applications. By definition, a pillow box is isometric to a double rectangle consisting of two copies of a rectangle. If the crease pattern is allowed to…
We study symplectic groups and indefinite orthogonal groups over involutive, possibly noncommutative, algebras $(A, \sigma)$. In the case when the algebra $(A, \sigma)$ is Hermitian, or the complexification $(A_{\mathbb{C}},…
This paper is devoted to the study of Ricci-Yamabe solitons on a particular class of Walker manifolds in dimension 3. We consider a Walker metric where the function f depends on the three coordinates. The novelty of our research lies in the…
