We prove the macroscopic cousins of three conjectures: 1) a conjectural bound of the simplicial volume of a Riemannian manifold in the presence of a lower scalar curvature bound, 2) the conjecture that rationally essential manifolds do not…
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…
We show that any closed hyperbolic 3-manifold M admits a Riemannian metric with scalar curvature at least -6, but with volume entropy strictly larger than 2. In particular, this construction gives counterexamples to a conjecture of I. Agol,…
Let M be a complete non-compact connected Riemannian n-dimensional manifold. We first prove that, for any fixed point p in M, the radial Ricci curvature of M at p is bounded from below by the radial curvature function of some non-compact…
This paper investigates conformal deformations of the scalar curvature and mean curvature on complete Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of conformal deformations to complete metrics…
In this paper, we prove that if a metric measure space satisfies the volume doubling condition and the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality with the same exponent $n$ $(n\geq 2)$, then it has exactly the $n$-dimensional volume growth. Besides,…
In this paper, we focus on Hamilton's pinching conjecture formulated in Hamilton's paper "Three-manifolds with positive Ricci curvature". Let $(M, g)$ be a complete, connected, noncompact Riemannian $3$-manifold satisfying the…
We show that if a complete Riemannian $3-$manifold has $L^{\frac 32}-$ integrable Ricci curvature, satisfies a Sobolev inequality and has a non negative Ricci curvature in a spectral sense, then it is diffeomorphic to $\R^3$.
We obtain an estimate of the Cheeger isoperimetric constant in terms of the volume growth for a properly immersed submanifold in a Riemannian manifold which possesses at least one pole and sectional curvature bounded from above .
Let $(M, g)$ be an asymptotically flat Riemannian $3$-manifold with non-negative scalar curvature and positive mass. We show that each leaf of the canonical foliation through stable constant mean curvature surfaces of the end of $(M, g)$ is…
Let $(M, g)$ be a complete, connected, non-compact Riemannian $3$-manifold. Suppose that $(M,g)$ satisfies the Ricci--pinching condition $\mathrm{Ric}\geq\varepsilon\mathrm{R} g$ for some $\varepsilon>0$, where $\mathrm{Ric}$ and…
We consider complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds with quadratically decaying lower Ricci curvature bounds and minimal volume growth. We first prove a rigidity result showing that ends with strongly minimal volume growth are isometric to…
Using $\delta$-invariants and Newton--Okounkov bodies, we derive the optimal volume upper bound for K\"ahler manifolds with positive Ricci curvature, from which we get a new characterization of the complex projective space.
We show that a complete $3$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ with finitely generated first homology has macroscopic dimension $1$ if it satisfies the following "macroscopic curvature" assumptions: every ball of radius $10$ in $M$ has…
We prove two rigidity results for complete Riemannian three-manifolds of higher rank. Complete three-manifolds have higher spherical rank if an only if they are spherical space forms. Complete finite volume three-manifolds have higher…
Let $M$ be a 4-dimensional open manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature. In this paper, we prove that if the universal cover of $M$ has Euclidean volume growth, then the fundamental group $\pi_1(M)$ is finitely generated. This result…
Let $M$ be an open $n$-manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature. We prove that if its escape rate is not $1/2$ and its Riemannian universal cover is conic at infinity, that is, every asymptotic cone $(Y,y)$ of the universal cover is a…
In this paper, we are able to prove an analogy of the Calabi-Yau theorem for complete Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature which are aspherical at infinity. The key tool is an existence result for arbitrarily large bounded…
Conformal invariants of manifolds of non-positive scalar curvature are studied in association with growth in volume and fundamental group.
We show that any Riemannian metric conformal to the round metric on $S^n$, for $n\geq 4$, arises as a limit of a sequence of Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature on $S^n$ in the sense of uniform convergence of Riemannian…
