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 .

We consider the $4D$ gravitational model with a scalar field $\varphi$, Einstein and Gauss-Bonnet terms. The action of the model contains a potential term $U(\varphi)$, Gauss-Bonnet coupling function $f(\varphi)$ and a parameter…

We classify Einstein metrics on $\mathbb{R}^4$ invariant under a four-dimensional group of isometries including a principal action of the Heisenberg group. The metrics are either Ricci-flat or of negative Ricci curvature. We show that all…

We present linear forms with integer coefficients containing the Euler-Mascheroni and Euler-Gompertz constants. The forms are defined by four-terms recurrence relations. Asymptotics of the forms and their coefficients are obtained.

Let $M$ be a unitary $S^1$-manifold with only isolated fixed points such that $M$ is not a boundary. We show that $4\chi(M)>\dim M$, where $\chi(M)$ is the Euler characteristic of $M$. This gives an affirmative answer of Kosniowski…

In this work we show that Einstein gravity in four dimensions can be consistently obtained from the compactification of a generic higher curvature Lovelock theory in dimension $D=4+p$, being $p\geq1$. The compactification is performed on a…

We present a new type of ultracompact objects, featuring lightrings and echoes in the gravitational-wave spectrum. These particle-like solutions arise in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theories in four spacetime dimensions, representing…

I give an overview over some work on rigorous renormalization theory based on the differential flow equations of the Wilson-Wegner renormalization group. I first consider massive Euclidean $\phi_4^4$-theory. The renormalization proofs are…

We present a local classification of conformally equivalent but oppositely oriented 4-dimensional Kaehler metrics which are toric with respect to a common 2-torus action. In the generic case, these "ambitoric" structures have an intriguing…

We consider the continuum parabolic Anderson model (PAM) and the dynamical $\Phi^4$ equation on the $3$-dimensional cube with boundary conditions. While the Dirichlet solution theories are relatively standard, the case of Neumann/Robin…

We develop some useful techinques for integrating over Higgs branches in supersymmetric theories with 4 and 8 supercharges. In particular, we define a regularized volume for hyperkahler quotients. We evaluate this volume for certain ALE and…

Let (M,h) be a compact 4-dimensional Einstein manifold, and suppose that h is Hermitian with respect to some complex structure J on M. Then either (M,J,h) is Kaehler-Einstein, or else, up to rescaling and isometry, it is one of the…

We prove new isolation and stability results for Einstein manifolds in a variety of settings. Imposing conditions on the Weyl tensor, we establish new stability criteria for compact, asymptotically hyperbolic (AH) and asymptotically locally…

Everyone knows that the Euler characteristic of a combinatorial manifold is given by the alternating sum of its numbers of simplices. It is shown that there are other linear combinations of the numbers of simplices which are combinatorial…

This paper studies several aspects of asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein metrics, mostly on 4-manifolds. We prove boundary regularity (at infinity) for such metrics and establish uniqueness under natural conditions on the boundary data. By…

This paper is concerned exclusively with axisymmetric spacetimes. We want to develop reductions of Einstein's equations which are suitable for numerical evolutions. We first make a Kaluza-Klein type dimensional reduction followed by an ADM…

We express characteristic numbers of compact hyperk\"ahler manifolds in graph-theoretical form, considering them as a special case of the curvature invariants introduced by Rozansky and Witten. The appropriate graphs are generated by…

Using as an example the Einstein gravity with the cosmological constant, we discuss the calculation of renormalization group functions off shell. We found, that gauge dependent terms should be absorbed by the nonlinear renormalization of…

In this article we study the problem of minimizing $a\chi+b\sigma$ on the class of all symplectic 4--manifolds with prescribed fundamental group $G$ ($\chi$ is the Euler characteristic, $\sigma$ is the signature, and $a,b\in \BR$), focusing…

Some recent ideas are generalized from four dimensions to the general dimension n. In quantum field theory, two terms of the trace anomaly in external gravity, the Euler density G_n and Box^{n/2-1}R, are relevant to the problem of quantum…
