We prove the following result: Let $(M,g_0)$ be a compact manifold of dimension $n\geq 12$ with positive isotropic curvature. Then $M$ is diffeomorphic to a spherical space form, or the total space of an orbifiber bundle over $\mathbb{S}^1$…

We extend the classical regularity theorem of elliptic operators to maximally hypoelliptic differential operators. More precisely, given vector fields $X_1,\ldots,X_m$ on a smooth manifold which satisfy H\"ormander's bracket generating…

Let M be a pseudo-Riemannian manifold with a pseudo-Hermitian complex structure $J$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions that the curvature operator $R(\pi)$ is complex linear when $\pi$ is a $J$ invariant real 2 plane. Under this…

We show that if $\nabla R$ is a Jordan Szabo algebraic covariant derivative curvature tensor on a vector space of signature (p,q), where q is odd and p is less than q or if q is congruent to 2 mod 4 and if p is less than q-1, then $\nabla…

We exhibit Walker manifolds of signature (2,2) with various commutativity properties for the Ricci operator, the skew-symmetric curvature operator, and the Jacobi operator. If the Walker metric is a Riemannian extension of an underlying…

We examine algebraic conditions for the sectional positivity of the Riemann curvature operator. We describe sufficient conditions for dimension $n=4$, and complete characterization for a dense open subset of the space of operators in…

A Riemannian manifold (M,g) is said to be Einstein if its Ricci tensor satisfies ric(g) = cg, for some real number c. In the homogeneous case, a problem that is still open is the so called Alekseevskii Conjecture. This conjecture says that…

Let $f:M\ra \erre^{m+1}$ be an isometrically immersed hypersurface. In this paper, we exploit recent results due to the authors in \cite{bimari} to analyze the stability of the differential operator $L_r$ associated with the $r$-th Newton…

We investigate the curvature operator of the second kind on product Riemannian manifolds and obtain some optimal rigidity results. For instance, we prove that the universal cover of an $n$-dimensional non-flat complete locally reducible…

In a paper from 1954, Marstrand proved that if $K\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ with Hausdorff dimension greater than 1, then its one-dimensional projection has positive Lebesgue measure for almost-all directions. In this article, we show that if…

We discuss (arbitrary-dimensional) Lorentzian manifolds and the scalar polynomial curvature invariants constructed from the Riemann tensor and its covariant derivatives. Recently, we have shown that in four dimensions a Lorentzian spacetime…

I prove the two-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian version of the projective Obata conjecture stating that on a closed manifold different from the round sphere every projective (i.e., geodesic-preserving) vector field is Killing.

Rochlin proved that a closed 4-dimensional connected smooth oriented manifold $X^4$ with vanishing second Stiefel-Whitney class has signature $\sigma(X)$ divisible by 16. This was generalized by Kervaire and Milnor to the statement that if…

We introduce a new method for studying universality of random matrices. Let T_n be the Jacobi matrix associated to the Dyson beta ensemble with uniformly convex polynomial potential. We show that after scaling, T_n converges to the…

In this article we study the Arnold conjecture in settings where objects under consideration are no longer smooth but only continuous. The example of a Hamiltonian homeomorphism, on any closed symplectic manifold of dimension greater than…

We establish a free analogue of Obata's rigidity theorem. More precisely, Cheng and Zhou (2017) proved that on a weighted Riemannian manifold, the sharp spectral gap (Poincar\'e constant) is achieved only when the space splits isometrically…

We consider the Laplace-Beltrami operator $\Delta_g$ on a smooth, compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and the determinantal point process $\mathcal{X}_{\lambda}$ on $M$ associated with the spectral projection of $-\Delta_g$ onto the…

The following Theorem is proved: Let M be an n-dimensional (n>2) submanifold of a Riemannian manifold N. Suppose that through each point p of M there exist two (n-1)-dimensional extrinsic spheres of N, which are contained in M in a…

Let X a proper smooth curve over the field of complex numbers. Localization of the Heisenberg algebra gives the algebra of global sections of the ring of differential operators on the Jacobian J of X. It seems natural to ask for same kind…

Parallel to the study of finite dimensional Banach spaces, there is a growing interest in the corresponding local theory of operator spaces. We define a family of Hilbertian operator spaces H_n^k,0< k < n+1, generalizing the row and column…
