We prove a general theorem providing smoothed analysis estimates for conic condition numbers of problems of numerical analysis. Our probability estimates depend only on geometric invariants of the corresponding sets of ill-posed inputs.…

It is shown that an arbitrary static, spherically symmetric metric can be presented as an exact solution of a scalar-tensor theory (STT) of gravity with certain nonminimal coupling function $f(\phi)$ and potential $U(\phi)$. The scalar…

This paper is concerned with the compactness of metrics of the disk with prescribed Gaussian and geodesic curvatures. We consider a blowing-up sequence of metrics and give a precise description of its asymptotic behavior. In particular, the…

We consider the problem of prescribing the $\sigma_k$-curvature on the standard sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ with $n \geq 3$. We prove existence and compactness theorems when $k \geq n/2$. This extends an earlier result of Chang, Han and Yang for…

We examine homogeneous metrics on spheres and determine which ones have positive sectional curvature. The answer is subtle and surprisingly difficult to prove. In some cases we also determine their pinching constants. This completes the…

This article introduces the $L_p$-Gauss dual curvature measure and proposes its related $L_p$-Gauss dual Minkowski problem as: for $p,q\in\mathbb{R}$, under what necessary and/or sufficient condition on a non-zero finite Borel measure $\mu$…

Given an smooth function $K <0$ we prove a result by Berger, Kazhdan and others that in every conformal class there exists a metric which attains this function as its Gaussian curvature for a compact Riemann surface of genus $g>1$. We do so…

A well-known question in classical differential geometry and geometric analysis asks for a description of possible boundaries of $K$-surfaces, which are smooth, compact hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^d$ having constant Gauss curvature equal…

We consider constant scalar curvature K\"{a}hler metrics on a smooth minimal model of general type in a neighborhood of the canonical class, which is the perturbation of the canonical class by a fixed K\"{a}hler metric. We show that…

Let $( \bar g, \bar k)$ be a solution to the maximal constraint equations of general relativity on the unit ball $B_1$ of $\mathbb{R}^3$. We prove that if $(\bar g,\bar k)$ is sufficiently close to the initial data for Minkowski space, then…

For given functions $f$ and $j$ on the disc $B$ and its boundary $\partial B=S^1$, we study the existence of conformal metrics $g=e^{2u}g_0$ with prescribed Gauss curvature $K_g=f$ and boundary geodesic curvature $k_g=j$. Using the…

We prove some basic inequalities relating the Gagliardo-Nirenberg seminorms of a symmetric function $u$ on $\mathbb R^n$ and of its perturbation $u\varphi_\mu$, where $\varphi_\mu$ is a suitably chosen eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami…

Using an estimate on the number of critical points for a Morse-even function on the sphere $\mathbb S^m$, $m\ge1$, we prove a multiplicity result for orthogonal geodesic chords in Riemannian manifolds with boundary that are diffeomorphic to…

We explore simple but novel bouncing solutions of general relativity that avoid singularities. These solutions require curvature k=+1, and are supported by a negative cosmological term and matter with -1 < w < -1/3. In the case of moderate…

We examine here the space of conformally compact metrics $g$ on the interior of a compact manifold with boundary which have the property that the $k^{th}$ elementary symmetric function of the Schouten tensor $A_g$ is constant. When $k=1$…

The critical point equation arises as a critical point of the total scalar curvature functional defined on the space of constant scalar curvature metrics of a unit volume on a compact manifold. In this equation, there exists a function $f$…

A numerical scheme is developed for solution of the Goursat problem for a class of nonlinear hyperbolic systems with an arbitrary number of independent variables. Convergence results are proved for this difference scheme. These results are…

We extend the results and methods of \cite{MP} to prove the existence of constant positive scalar curvature metrics $g$ which are complete and conformal to the standard metric on $S^N \setminus \Lambda$, where $\Lambda$ is a disjoint union…

We study random Morse functions on a Riemann manifold $(M^m,g)$ defined as a random Gaussian weighted superpositions of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian of the metric $g$. The randomness is determined by a fixed Schwartz function $w$ and a…

Motivated on the one hand by recent results on isochronous dynamical systems, and on the other by quantum gravity applications of complex metrics, we show that, if such enlarged class of metrics is considered, one can easily obtain periodic…
