We study a variational problem whose critical point determines the Reeb vector field for a Sasaki-Einstein manifold. This extends our previous work on Sasakian geometry by lifting the condition that the manifolds are toric. We show that the…

We study the problem of prescribing $\sigma_k$-curvature for a conformal metric on the standard sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ with $2 \leq k < n/2$ and $n \geq 5$ in axisymmetry. Compactness, non-compactness, existence and non-existence results are…

The purpose of this paper is to study the Sasakian geometry on odd dimensional sphere bundles over a smooth projective algebraic variety $N$ with the ultimate, but probably unachievable goal of understanding the existence and non-existence…

On a Riemannian manifold $\bar{M}^{m+n}$ with an $(m+1)$-calibration $\Omega$, we prove that an $m$-submanifold $M$ with constant mean curvature $H$ and calibrated extended tangent space $\mathbb{R}H\oplus TM$ is a critical point of the…

We study the normalized volume of toric singularities. As it turns out, there is a close relation to the notion of (non-symmetric) Mahler volume from convex geometry. This observation allows us to use standard tools from convex geometry,…

We study the volume functional on the space of constant scalar curvature metrics with a prescribed boundary metric. We derive a sufficient and necessary condition for a metric to be a critical point, and show that the only domains in space…

Given a closed Riemannian manifold $(M^m,g)$ and a vector field $v$ on $M$, we form the Sasaki metric $g_S$ on $TM$, and restrict it to the image of the cross section map of $M$ into $TM$ defined by $v$, whose pull back to $M$ defines a new…

We prove Llarull-type rigidity for $S^{n-m}\times\mathbb{T}^m$ ($3\le n\le 7$, $1\le m\le n-2$). If a closed spin $(M^n,g)$ admits a degree-nonzero map to $S^{n-m}\times\mathbb{T}^m$ whose spherical projection is area non-increasing, and…

In this work, we generalize Sacks-Uhlenbeck's existence result for harmonic spheres, constructing for $n \ge 2$, regular, non-trivial, $n$-harmonic $n$-spheres into suitable target manifolds. We obtain an infinite family of new…

We prove a Theorem on homotheties between two given tangent sphere bundles $S_rM$ of a Riemannian manifold $M,g$ of $\dim\geq 3$, assuming different variable radius functions $r$ and weighted Sasaki metrics induced by the conformal class of…

We start by taking the analytical approach to discuss how the minimizer of Yamabe functional provides constant scalar curvature and its relationship with the Sobolev Space $W^{1,2}.$ Then, after demonstrating the importance of the sphere…

Let $(M, g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n \geq 3$, and let $h \in C^1(M)$ be such that the operator $\Delta_g + h$ is coercive. Fix $x_0 \in M$ and $s \in (0, 2)$. We obtain uniform bounds on the solutions of the critical…

In this paper we generalize the main result of [4] for manifolds that are not necessarily Einstein. In fact, we obtain an upper bound for the volume of a locally volume-minimizing closed hypersurface $\Sigma$ of a Riemannian 5-manifold $M$…

For $n\geq 25$, we construct a smooth metric $\tilde{g}$ on the standard $n$-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ such that there exists a sequence of smooth metrics $\{\tilde{g}_k\}_{k\in\mathbb{N}}$ conformal to $\tilde g$ where each $\tilde…

In this paper we study the Nirenberg problem on standard half spheres $(\mathbb{S}^n_+,g), \, n \geq 5$, which consists of finding conformal metrics of prescribed scalar curvature and zero boundary mean curvature on the boundary. This…

We study positive solutions of the superlinear Lane-Emden inequality \(-\Delta u\ge \sigma u^q\), \(q>1\), on infinite locally finite weighted graphs and connected domains of such graphs. We first prove that solvability is equivalent to the…

We study the Gromov--Sormani MinA scalar curvature compactness conjecture for warped product metrics on $\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^1$ of the form introduced by Kazaras-Xu in \cite{KazarasXu2023} as follows: \[…

We study natural variations of the G2 structure {\sigma}_0 \in {\Lambda}^3_+ existing on the unit tangent sphere bundle SM of any oriented Riemannian 4-manifold M. We find a circle of structures for which the induced metric is the usual…

A central problem in discrete geometry, known as Hadwiger's covering problem, asks what the smallest natural number $N\left(n\right)$ is such that every convex body in ${\mathbb R}^{n}$ can be covered by a union of the interiors of at most…

We view all smooth metrics $g$ on a closed surface $\Sigma$ through their Nash isometric embeddings $f_g: (\Sigma,g) \rightarrow (\mathbb{S}^{\tilde{n}}, \tilde{g})$ into a standard sphere of large, but fixed, dimension $\tilde{n}$. We…
