In this note we prove three rigidity results for Einstein manifolds with bounded covering geometry. (1) An almost flat manifold $(M,g)$ must be flat if it is Einstein, i.e. $\operatorname{Ric}_g=\lambda g$ for some real number $\lambda$.…

The Euclidean mixed isoperimetric-isodiametric inequality states that the round ball maximizes the volume under constraint on the product between boundary area and radius. The goal of the paper is to investigate such mixed…

We show that assuming lower bounds on the Ricci curvature and the injectivity radius the absolute value of certain characteristic numbers of a Riemannian manifold, including all Pontryagin and Chern numbers, is bounded proportionally to the…

In this paper, we prove that a critical metric of the volume functional with pinched Weyl curvature is isometric to a geodesic ball in $\mathbb{S}^{n}.$ Moreover, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition on the norm of the gradient…

Let $M$ be a closed hyperbolic manifold containing a totally geodesic hypersurface $S$, and let $N$ be a closed Riemannian manifold homotopy equivalent to $M$ with sectional curvature bounded above by $-1$. Then it follows from the work of…

We study Riemannian manifolds with boundary under a lower Bakry-E'mery Ricci curvature bound. In our weighted setting, we prove several rigidity theorems for such manifolds with boundary. We conclude a rigidity theorem for the inscribed…

Let $M$ be a weighted manifold with boundary $\partial M$, i.e., a Riemannian manifold where a density function is used to weight the Riemannian Hausdorff measures. In this paper we compute the first and the second variational formulas of…

The first main result is a topological rigidity theorem for complete immersed hypersurfaces of spherical space forms which extends similar results due to do Carmo/Warner, Wang/Xia and Longa/Ripoll. Under certain sharp conditions on the…

We prove that a critical metric of the volume functional on a $4$-dimensional compact manifold with boundary satisfying a second-order vanishing condition on the Weyl tensor must be isometric to a geodesic ball in a simply connected space…

We show that large classes of non-arithmetic hyperbolic $n$-manifolds, including the hybrids introduced by Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro and many of their generalizations, have only finitely many finite-volume immersed totally geodesic…

In this paper we prove the following. Let $\Sigma$ be an $n$--dimensional closed hyperbolic manifold and let $g$ be a Riemannian metric on $\Sigma \times \mathbb{S}^1$. Given an upper bound on the volumes of unit balls in the Riemannian…

We prove rigidity results involving the Hawking mass for surfaces immersed in a $3$-dimensional, complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with non-negative scalar curvature (resp. with scalar curvature bounded below by $-6$). Roughly, the main…

We deal with rigidity results for compact gradient Einstein-type manifolds with nonempty boundaries. As a result, we obtain new characterizations for hemispheres and geodesic balls in simply connected space forms. In dimensions three and…

We derive new, sharp lower bounds for certain curvature functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics of a smooth compact 4-manifold with a non-trivial Seiberg-Witten invariant. These allow one, for example, to exactly compute the infimum…

In this paper, we investigate the geometry of Einstein-type equation on a Riemannian manifold, unifying various particular geometric structures recently studied in the literature, such as critical point equation and vacuum static equation.…

Consider a closed manifold $M$ with two Riemannian metrics: one hyperbolic metric, and one other metric $g$. What hypotheses on $g$ guarantee that for a given radius $r$, there are balls of radius $r$ in the universal cover of $(M, g)$ with…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. We show that $M$ is Gromov-Hausdorff close to a convex Euclidean region $D$ of the same dimension if the boundary distance function of $M$ is $C^1$-close to that of $D$. More…

If (M^n, g) is a complete Riemannian manifold with filling radius at least R, then we prove that it contains a ball of radius R and volume at least c(n)R^n. If (M^n, hyp) is a closed hyperbolic manifold and if g is another metric on M with…

We obtain a bound for the area of a capillary $H-$surface in a three-manifold with umbilic boundary and controlled sectional curvature. We then analyze the geometry when this area bound is realized, and obtain rigidity theorems. As a side…

We prove rigidity for hypersurfaces with boundary in the unit $(n+1)$-sphere with scalar curvature bounded below by $n(n-1)$. Under appropriate boundary conditions, the hypersurfaces are shown to be part of the equatorial spheres. The lower…
