We prove a Riemannian positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat spin manifolds with hypersurface singularities. Unlike earlier results, some components of the singular set may be mean-concave, provided that other components of the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group acting properly discontinuously by isometries on a visibility CAT(0) space $X$ that satisfies the bounded packing property. We prove that $\Gamma$ satisfies the Tits alternative: it is either…

We consider the N=1 supersymmetric kink on a circle, i.e., on a finite interval with boundary or transition conditions which are locally invisible. For Majorana fermions, the single-particle Dirac Hamiltonian as a differential operator…

We establish curvature obstruction theorems for manifolds with boundary. Our main theorems show that, for dimensions up to 7, a topologically nontrivial compact manifold with boundary cannot have a metric of positive $m$-intermediate…

We show that an automorphism of an arbitrary CAT(0) cube complex either has a fixed point or preserves some combinatorial axis. It follows that when a group contains a distorted cyclic subgroup, it admits no proper action on a discrete…

It is well known that string theories naturally compactify on anti-de Sitter spaces, and yet cosmological observations show no evidence of a negative cosmological constant in the early Universe's evolution. In this letter we present two…

We study the geometry of a weak Riemannian metric on the infinite dimensional manifold of compact spacelike Cauchy hypersurfaces in a globally hyperbolic spacetime. We show that the geodesic distance (i.e. the infimum of lengths of paths…

We show that a cosmological negative spatial curvature can account for both a recently identified phenomenological imprint of the global Hubble flow on galactic rotation curves and for the recently detected cosmic repulsion and cosmic…

The FRT quantum group and space theory is reformulated from the standard mathematical basis to an arbitrary one. The $N$-dimensional quantum vector Cayley-Klein spaces are described in Cartesian basis and the quantum analogs of…

A new description of macroscopic Kruskal black holes that incorporates the quantum geometry corrections of loop quantum gravity is presented. It encompasses both the `interior' region that contains classical singularities and the `exterior'…

The existence of a {\it stable critical point}, separate from the Gaussian and XY critical points, of the Ginzburg-Landau theory for superconductors, is demonstrated by direct extraction via Monte-Carlo simulations, of a negative anomalous…

It has previously been shown [W. Rudnicki, Phys. Lett. A 224, 45 (1996)] that a generic gravitational collapse cannot result in a naked singularity accompanied by closed timelike curves. An important role in this result plays the so-called…

We consider the blowup of a point of a compact K\"ahler manifold and a metric of the form $\mu^*h + t b$ on it, where $h$ is a K\"ahler metric on the original manifold and $b$ is Hermitian form that looks like the Fubini--Study metric near…

In this article we first show that any finite cover of the moduli space of closed Riemann surfaces of genus $g$ with $g\geq 2$ does not admit any Riemannian metric $ds^2$ of nonnegative scalar curvature such that $ds^2 \succ ds_{T}^2$ where…

Conjecture 1 of Stanley Chang: "Positive scalar curvature of totally nonspin manifolds" asserts that a closed smooth manifold M with non-spin universal covering admits a metric of positive scalar curvature if and only if a certain…

Let $(M,g^{TM})$ be an odd dimensional ($\dim M\geq 3$) connected oriented noncompact complete spin Riemannian manifold. Let $k^{TM}$ be the associated scalar curvature. Let $f:M\to S^{\dim M}(1)$ be a smooth area decreasing map which is…

It is demonstrated that a recently suggested model for the EPR-Bohm spin experiment, based on Clifford algebra valued local variables and observables, runs into very serious difficulties and can therefore not be taken as constituting a…

We show that if a noncollapsed $CD(K,n)$ space $X$ with $n\ge 2$ has curvature bounded above by $\kappa$ in the sense of Alexandrov then $K\le (n-1)\kappa$ and $X$ is an Alexandrov space of curvature bounded below by $K-\kappa (n-2)$. We…

The classical theory of $G$-structures, which include almost-complex structures, explains the relationship between the curvature of compatible connections and integrability. This note is an effort to understand how the curvature of…

We consider an asymptotically flat Riemannian spin manifold of positive scalar curvature. An inequality is derived which bounds the Riemann tensor in terms of the total mass and quantifies in which sense curvature must become small when the…
