For a conformal vector field on a closed, real-analytic, Lorentzian manifold we prove that the flow is locally isometric -- that it preserves a metric in the conformal class on a neighborhood of any point -- or the metric is everywhere…
We prove sufficient conditions for the existence of conjugate points along geodesics of a left-invariant metric on a Lie group, using a reformulation of the index form in terms of the adjoint action. In the compact semisimple case, with an…
We provide a sufficient condition for the local stability of closed Einstein manifolds of positive Ricci curvature under the Ricci iteration in terms of the spectrum of the Lichnerowicz Laplacian acting on divergence-free tensor fields. We…
The Oscillator Groups,$\G_\lambda,$ are the only solvable, non commutative, simply connected Lie groups to admit a Lorentzian bi-invariant metric. For these groups, we give sufficient conditions for a left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric…
We consider a family of variational problems on a Hilbert manifold parameterized by an open subset of a Banach manifold, and we discuss the genericity of the nondegeneracy condition for the critical points. Based on an idea of B. White, we…
Conformal geodesics are distinguished curves on a conformal manifold, loosely analogous to geodesics of Riemannian geometry. One definition of them is as solutions to a third order differential equation determined by the conformal…
We introduce the space of infinite volume ends of a locally compact second countable (lcsc) space that admits a Radon measure. In certain cases, this coincides with the classical space of ends. Consider a discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of a…
Consider the deformation of the standard Lorentzian metric on the anti de-Sitter space along the fibers of the Hopf fibration. We study the universal covering of this Lorentzian manifold to exclude a priori presence of time-like cycles. We…
We study global solutions to the classical one-phase free boundary problem that have finite Morse index relative to the Alt-Caffarelli functional. We show that such solutions are stable outside a compact set and characterize the index as…
This is an expository paper devoted to the Morse index of Chaperon's generating families of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. After reviewing the construction of such generating families, we present Bott's iteration theory in this setting: we…
We show that on compact Riemann surfaces of negative curvature, the generalized periods, i.e. the $\nu$-th order Fourier coefficient of eigenfunctions $e_\lambda$ over a period geodesic $\gamma$ goes to 0 at the rate of…
We locate gaps in the spectrum of a Hamiltonian on a periodic cuboidal (and generally hyperrectangular) lattice graph with $\delta$ couplings in the vertices. We formulate sufficient conditions under which the number of gaps is finite. As…
Consider a broken geodesics $\alpha([0,l])$ on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with boundary of dimension $n\geq 3$. The broken geodesics are unions of two geodesics with the property that they have a common end point. Assume that for…
In this paper we study Morse homology and cohomology with local coefficients, i.e. "twisted" Morse homology and cohomology, on closed finite dimensional smooth manifolds. We prove a Morse theoretic version of Eilenberg's Theorem, and we…
We study scattering rigidity in Lorentzian geometry: recovery of a Lorentzian metric from the scattering relation $\mathcal{S}^\sharp$ known on a lateral boundary. We show that, under a non-conjugacy assumption, every defining function…
The discrete spectrum of the Laplacian has been extensively studied on reductive symmetric spaces and on Riemannian locally symmetric spaces. Here we examine it for the first time in the general setting of non-Riemannian, reductive, locally…
We consider random iteration of exponential entire functions, i.e. of the form ${\mathbb C}\ni z\mapsto f_\lambda(z):=\lambda e^z\in\mathbb C$, $\lambda\in{\mathbb C}\setminus \{0\}$. Assuming that $\lambda$ is in a bounded closed interval…
We prove an upper bound for the Morse index of min-max stationary integral varifolds realizing the $d$-dimensional $p$-width of a closed Riemannian manifold.
We construct and discuss new numerical homotopy invariants of topological spaces that are suitable for the study of functions on loop and sphere spaces. These invariants resemble the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and provide lower bounds…
In this paper we investigate locally compact semitopological graph inverse semigroups. Our main result is the following: if a directed graph $E$ is strongly connected and contains a finite amount of vertices then a locally compact…
