We prove global second-order regularity for a class of quasilinear elliptic equations, both with homogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. A condition on the integrability of the second fundamental form on the boundary of the…

We study Hermitian metrics with constant second scalar curvature on compact manifolds. We first consider a Yamabe-type problem for the second Bismut scalar curvature under a natural topological condition, and then analyze elliptic equations…

Point transformations for the ordinary differential equations of the form $y''=P(x,y)+3 Q(x,y) y'+3 R(x,y) (y')^2+S(x,y) (y')^3$ are considered. Some classical results are resumed. Solution for the equivalence problem for the equations of…

Let (M,g) be an arbitrary pseudo-Riemannian manifold of dimension at least 3. We determine the form of all the conformal symmetries of the conformal (or Yamabe) Laplacian on (M,g), which are given by differential operators of second order.…

The class of second order ODE's cubic with respect to the first order derivative is considered. Using geometric structures associated with these equations, the subclasses of umbilical equations, zero mean curvature equations, and zero…

The Cartan equivalence method is applied to provide an invariant characterization of the third-order ordinary differential equation $u'''=f(x,u,u',u'')$ which admits a five-dimensional point symmetry Lie algebra. The invariant…

A 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold equipped with a tensor structure of type $(1,1)$, whose fourth power is the identity, is considered. This structure acts as an isometry with respect to the metric. A Riemannian almost product manifold…

We introduce a type of Riemannian geometry in nine dimensions, which can be viewed as the counterpart of selfduality in four dimensions. This geometry is related to a 9-dimensional irreducible representation of ${\bf SO}(3) \times {\bf SO}…

We study the integrability to second order of infinitesimal Einstein deformations on compact Riemannian and in particular on K\"ahler manifolds. We find a new way of expressing the necessary and sufficient condition for integrability to…

Using Cartan equivalence method, invariant coframes are constructed for two branches of rank one and zero, which characterize linearizable third-order ODEs under contact transformations with four- and five-dimensional Lie symmetry algebras,…

Locally variational systems of differential equations on smooth manifolds, having certain de Rham cohomology group trivial, automatically possess a global Lagrangian. This important result due to Takens is, how-ever, of sheaf-theoretic…

We study the fillability (or embeddability) of 3-dimensional $CR$ structures under the geometric flows. Suppose we can solve a certain second order equation for the geometric quantity associated to the flow. Then we prove that if the…

We develop a method for optimization in shape spaces, i.e., sets of surfaces modulo re-parametrization. Unlike previously proposed gradient flows, we achieve superlinear convergence rates through a subtle approximation of the shape Hessian,…

A covariant approach towards a theory of deformations is developed to examine both the first and second variation of the Helfrich-Canham Hamiltonian -- quadratic in the extrinsic curvature -- which describes fluid vesicles at mesoscopic…

We construct polynomial conformal invariants, the vanishing of which is necessary and sufficient for an $n$-dimensional suitably generic (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold to be conformal to an Einstein manifold. We also construct invariants…

We study low-dimensional problems in topology and geometry via a study of contact and Cauchy-Riemann ($CR$) structures. A contact structure is called spherical if it admits a compatible spherical $CR$ structure. We will talk about spherical…

We study normal CR compact manifolds in dimension 3. For a choice of a CR Reeb vector field, we associate a Sasakian metric on them, and we classify those metrics. As a consequence, the underlying manifolds are topologically finite quotiens…

Conformal symmetry underlies the mathematical description of various two-dimensional integrable models (e.g. for their Lax representation, Poisson algebra, zero curvature representation,...) or of conformal models (for the anomalous Ward…

Consider an orientable compact surface in three dimensional Euclidean space with minimum total absolute curvature. If the Gaussian curvature changes sign to finite order and satisfies a nondegeneracy condition along closed asymptotic…

This paper is devoted to the study of the singularly perturbed second order partial integro-differential equations. The estimation of the solutions of Cauchy problem is obtained.
