Let $(M, g)$ be a compact 3-manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature $R_g\geq 0$. The boundary $\partial M$ is diffeomorphic to the boundary of a rotationally symmetric and weakly convex body $\bar{M}$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We call…

It is a classical fact that the cotangent bundle $T^* \M$ of a differentiable manifold $\M$ enjoys a canonical symplectic form $\Omega^*$. If $(\M,\j,g,\omega)$ is a pseudo-K\"ahler or para-K\"ahler $2n$-dimensional manifold, we prove that…

Let (M,g) be a complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold of dimension 3 without conjugate points. We show that M is a hyperbolic manifold of constant sectional curvature, provided M is asymptotically harmonic of constant h > 0.

In this paper, we consider a closed Riemannian manifold $M^{n+1}$ with dimension $3\leq n+1\leq 7$, and a compact Lie group $G$ acting as isometries on $M$ with cohomogeneity at least $3$. Suppose the union of non-principal orbits…

In the present work we define the rolling of one pseudo-Riemannian manifold over another without slipping and twisting. We compare the definition of the rolling without slipping and twisting of two manifolds isometrically embedded into a…

We discuss the rolling, without slip and without twist, of Stiefel manifolds equipped with $\alpha$-metrics, from an intrinsic and an extrinsic point of view. We, however, start with a more general perspective, namely by investigating…

Given a manifold (or, more generally, a developable orbifold) $M_0$ and two closed Riemannian manifolds $M_1$ and $M_2$ with a finite covering map to $M_0$, we give a spectral characterisation of when they are equivalent Riemannian covers…

We establish a one-to-one correspondence between static spacetimes and Riemannian manifolds that maps causal geodesics to geodesics, as suggested by L. C. Epstein. We then explore constant curvature spacetimes - such as the de Sitter and…

A special case of the main result states that a complete $1$-connected Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$ is isometric to one of the models $\mathbb R^n$, $S^n(c)$, $\mathbb H^n(-c)$ of constant curvature if and only if every $p\in M^n$ is a…

This paper concerns obstruction flatness of hypersurfaces $\Sigma$ that arise as unit sphere bundles $S(E)$ of Griffiths negative Hermitian vector bundles $(E, h)$ over K\"ahler manifolds $(M, g).$ We prove that if the curvature of $(E, h)$…

If $\Gamma$ is the nullity space of the curvature tensor of a Riemannian manifold $M^n$, it is well known that if its dimension is constant and if $M^n$ is complete then the distribution $\Gamma$ is completely integrable with flat leaves.…

We prove that if a complete connected $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ has radial sectional curvature at a base point $p\in M$ bounded from below by the radial curvature function of a two-sphere of revolution $\widetilde M$ belonging…

We construct smooth bundles with base and fiber products of two spheres whose total spaces have non-vanishing $\hat{A}$-genus. We then use these bundles to locate non-trivial rational homotopy groups of spaces of Riemannian metrics with…

It is known that the so-called rotation minimizing (RM) frames allow for a simple and elegant characterization of geodesic spherical curves in Euclidean, hyperbolic, and spherical spaces through a certain linear equation involving the…

Associated to the problem of rolling one surface along another there is a five-manifold M with a rank two distribution. If the two surfaces are spheres then M is the product of the rotation group SO_3 with the two-sphere and its…

In this paper, we show that a closed $n$-dimensional generalized $(\lambda, n+m)$-Einstein manifold of constant scalar curvature with weakly radially zero Ricci curvature is isometric to either a sphere ${\Bbb S}^n$, or a product ${\Bbb…

Let $(M,g)$ be an asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$ with positive mass. We give a short proof based on Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction of the existence of an asymptotic foliation of $(M, g)$ by stable constant mean…

We give examples of asymptotically flat three-manifolds $(M,g)$ which admit arbitrarily large constant mean curvature spheres that are far away from the center of the manifold. This resolves a question raised by G. Huisken and S.-T. Yau in…

Rollings of reductive homogeneous spaces are investigated. More precisely, for a reductive homogeneous space $G / H$ with reductive decomposition $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{h} \oplus \mathfrak{m}$, we consider rollings of $\mathfrak{m}$ over…

In this paper, we first study isometric immersions $f: M^n\rightarrow M^{n+k}(c), n\geq 3,$ into space forms with flat normal bundle and constant scalar curvature $R.$ Under a suitable multiplicity condition on the second fundamental form…
