The aim in these lectures is to study singularity formation, nonuniqueness, and topological change in motion by mean curvature.

We investigate the existence of $p$-K\"ahler structures on two classes of complex manifolds: on quasi-regular fibrations, with particular emphasis on complex homogeneous spaces, and on reductive Lie groups endowed with invariant complex…

We consider a Lorentzian analogue of the Ptolemy inequality and we prove that in the setting of globally hyperbolic spacetimes it is equivalent to a global timelike sectional curvature bound from above by zero. We investigate the link…

We quantitatively study the speed of convergence of geodesic Lie groups to their metric limits. For nilpotent geodesic Lie groups, we give estimates on the difference of the original metrics and the asymptotic metrics, while for general…

In this paper, we establish a Liouville type rigidity result for a class of asymptotically hyperbolic non-compact Einstein metrics defined on manifolds of dimension $d\ge 5$ extending the earlier result in dimension $d=4$.

We show the existence of infinitely many geometrically distinct homothetic expanders (jellyfish) for the elastic flow, epicyclic shrinkers for the curve diffusion flow, and epicyclic expanders for the ideal flow.

Wojciech Kami\'nski has provided a non real-analytic counterexample to our claim in [1] that conformal geodesics cannot spiral. This erratum illustrates how the proof of Lemma 4.6 [1] (on which our claim was based) fails.

We study Einstein riemannian manifolds endowed with a warped product structure. We focus on the case in which both the base and the fiber are Einstein manifolds and establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the warped product itself…

This paper proves that, at the first singular time for a smoothly immersed surface moving by mean curvature flow in a n-manifold, each tangent flow is given by a smooth, branched shrinker, possibly with multiplicity. If n=3 and if the…

We study compact complex $3$-dimensional non-K\"ahler Bismut Ricci flat pluriclosed Hermitian manifolds (BHE) via their dimensional reduction to a special K\"ahler geometry in complex dimension $2$, recently obtained by Barbaro, Streets and…

For any $n\geq 4$, we construct an $(n-2)$-parameter family of steady gradient Ricci solitons with non-negative curvature operator and prescribed by the eigenvalues of Ricci tensor at a critical point of the soliton potential. Among them…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of polyhedral K\"ahler metrics on $\mathbb{CP}^n$ whose singular set is a hyperplane arrangement and whose cone angles are in $(0, 2\pi)$. These conditions take the form of…

The biharmonic flow of hypersurfaces $M^n$ immersed in the Euclidean space $\mathbb {R}^{n+1}$ for $n\geq 2$ is given by a fourth order geometric evolution equation, which is similar to the Willmore flow. We apply the Michael-Simon-Sobolev…

Sectional curvature bounds are of central importance in the study of Riemannian manifolds, both in smooth differential geometry and in the generalized synthetic setting of Alexandrov spaces. Riemannian metrics along with metric spaces of…

We are concerned with the existence of asymptotic directions for the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of a closed 2-dimensional surface $(\Sigma,g)$ within the full diffeomorphism group, described by the Bao--Ratiu equations, a…

A fundamental result in global analysis and nonlinear elasticity asserts that given a solution $\mathfrak{S}$ to the Gauss--Codazzi--Ricci equations over a simply-connected closed manifold $(\mathcal{M}^n,g)$, one may find an isometric…

We construct an explicit example of a smooth isotopy $\{\xi_t\}_{t \in [0,1]}$ of volume- and orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms on $[0,1]^n$ ($n \geq 3$) that has infinite total kinetic energy. This isotopy has no self-cancellation and…

We show that the Gaussian kernel $\exp\left\{-\lambda d_g^2(\bullet, \bullet)\right\}$ on any non-simply-connected closed Riemannian manifold $(\mathcal{M},g)$, where $d_g$ is the geodesic distance, is not positive definite for any $\lambda…

Using torus fibrations over K3 orbisurfaces, we construct new smooth solutions to the $G_2$ Hull-Strominger system. These manifolds arise as total spaces of principal $T^3$ (orbi)bundles over singular K3 surfaces. Our construction is based…

We study Hermitian metrics with constant second scalar curvature on compact manifolds. We first consider a Yamabe-type problem for the second Bismut scalar curvature under a natural topological condition, and then analyze elliptic equations…
