We construct all axi-symmetric non-gradient $m$-quasi-Einstein structures on a two-sphere. This includes the spatial cross-section of the extreme Kerr black hole horizon corresponding to $m=2$, as well as a family of new regular metrics…

We show that there exists a metric with positive scalar curvature on S2xS1 and a sequence of embedded minimal cylinders that converges to a minimal lamination that, in a neighborhood of a strictly stable 2-sphere, is smooth except at two…

Let $\Omega$ be a planar Jordan domain. We consider double-dome-like surfaces $\Sigma$ defined by graphs of functions of $dist( \cdot ,\partial \Omega)$ over $\Omega$. The goal is to find the right conditions on the geometry of the base…

We investigate periodic diffeomorphisms of non-compact aspherical manifolds (and orbifolds) and describe a class of spaces that have no homotopically trivial periodic diffeomorphisms. Prominent examples are moduli spaces of curves and…

On looking at the literature associated with string theory one finds statements that a sequence of matrix algebras converges to the 2-sphere (or to other spaces). There is often careful bookkeeping with lengths, which suggests that one is…

We provide examples of homogeneous spaces which are neither symmetric spaces nor real cohomology spheres, yet have the property that every invariant metric is geometrically formal. We also extend the known obstructions to geometric…

We use recent developments by Gromov and Zhu to derive an upper bound for the 2-systole of the homology class of S 2 x { * } in a S 2 x S 2 with a positive scalar curvature metric such that the set of spheres homologous to S 2 x { * } is…

Given a homeomorphism $f\colon X\to Y$ between $Q$-dimensional spaces $X,Y$, we show that $f$ satisfying the metric definition of quasiconformality outside suitable exceptional sets implies that $f$ belongs to the Sobolev class…

We generalize the Ahlfors-Bers theory to the adelic Riemann sphere. In particular, after defining the appropriate notion of a Beltrami differential in the solenoidal context, we give a sufficient condition on it such that the corresponding…

We study metric spaces homeomorphic to a closed oriented manifold from both geometric and analytic perspectives. We show that such spaces (which are sometimes called metric manifolds) admit a non-trivial integral current without boundary,…

Let $\Omega$ be a planar Jordan domain and $\alpha>0$. We consider double-dome-like surfaces $\Sigma(\Omega,t^{\alpha})$ over $\overline{\Omega}$ where the height of the surface over any point $x\in\overline{\Omega}$ equals…

We consider surfaces in ${\mathbb R}^3$ of type ${\mathbb S}^2$ which minimize the Willmore functional with prescribed isoperimetric ratio. The existence of smooth minimizers was proved by Schygulla (Archive Rational Mechanics and Analysis,…

We survey several methods of extending quasisymmetric homeomorphisms of the real line to bi-Lipschitz diffeomorphisms of the upper half-plane with respect to the hyperbolic metric.

Smooth axially symmetric Helfrich topological spheres are either round or else they must satisfy a second order equation known as the reduced membrane equation [17]. In this paper, we show that, conversely, axially symmetric closed genus…

We study the conformal type of surfaces spread over the sphere via random quasiconformal maps. Constructing a random Beltrami coefficient on the complex plane, we obtain a locally quasiconformal homeomorphism with prescribed dilatation that…

A metric space $X$ is quasisymmetrically co-Hopfian if every quasisymmetric embedding of $X$ into itself is onto. We construct the first examples of metric spaces homeomorphic to the universal Menger curve and higher dimensional…

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the volume of spheres in metric measure spaces. We first introduce a general setting adapted to the study of asymptotic isoperimetry in a general class of metric measure spaces. We then…

Projective connections arise from equivalence classes of affine connections under the reparametrization of geodesics. They may also be viewed as quotient systems of the classical geodesic equation. After studying the link between integrals…

We consider uniformly semi-locally 1-connected sequences of closed connected Riemannian 2-manifolds. In particular, we assume that the manifolds are homeomorphic to each other and that their total absolute curvature is uniformly bounded.…

There are considered 4-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian spaces with inner products of signature (3,1) and (2,2). The objects of investigation are space-like and time-like hyperspheres in the respective cases. These hypersurfaces are equipped…
