The conformal parameterisation of a minimal surface is harmonic. Therefore, a minimal surface is a critical point of both the energy functional and the area functional. In this paper, we compare the Morse index of a minimal surface as a…

Supersymmetric vacua (`universes') of string/M theory may be identified with certain critical points of a holomorphic section (the `superpotential') of a Hermitian holomorphic line bundle over a complex manifold. An important physical…

A conjecture of Berger states that, for any simply connected Riemannian manifold all of whose geodesics are closed, all prime geodesics have the same length. We firstly show that the energy function on the free loop space of such a manifold…

In this note, we prove the Morse index theorem for a geodesic connecting two submanifolds in a $C^7$ manifold with a $C^6$ (conic) pseudo-Finsler metric provided that the fundamental tensor is positive definite along velocity curve of the…

Let $M$ be a compact smooth Riemannian manifold of finite dimension $n+1$ with boundary $\partial M$and $\partial M$ is a compact $n$-dimensional submanifold of $M$. We show that for generic Riemannian metric $g$, all the critical points of…

The $2^{nd}$ variation formula of the Seiberg-Witten functional is obtained in order to estimate the Morse index of redutible solutions $(A,0)$. It is shown that their Morse index is given by the dimension of the largest negative eigenspace…

It was shown by Seaman that if a compact, oriented 4-dimensional riemannian manifold (M, g) of positive sectional curvature admits a harmonic 2-form of constant length, its intersection form is definite and such a harmonic form is unique up…

A strictly convex real projective orbifold is equipped with a natural Finsler metric called the Hilbert metric. In the case that the projective structure is hyperbolic, the Hilbert metric and the hyperbolic metric coincide. We prove that…

We consider the following generalisation of a well-known problem in Riemannian geometry: When is a smooth real-valued function s on a given compact n-dimensional manifold M (with or without boundary) the scalar curvature of some smooth…

The first three sections of this paper are a survey of the author's work on balanced metrics and stability notions in algebraic geometry. The last section is devoted to proving the well-known result that a geodesically convex function on a…

Let $M$ be a compact and connected smooth manifold endowed with a smooth action of a finite group $\Gamma$, and let $f$ be a $\Gamma$-invariant Morse function on $M$. We prove that the space of $\Gamma$-invariant Riemannian metrics on $M$…

We prove strong statistical stability of a large class of one-dimensional maps which may have an arbitrary finite number of discontinuities and of non-degenerate critical points and/or singular points with infinite derivative, and satisfy…

\begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} u'' + \lambda h(x,\alpha) e^u = 0, \quad x \in (-1,1), \\[1ex] u(-1) = u(1) = 0, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where $\lambda>0$, $0<\alpha<1$, $h(x,\alpha)=0$ for $|x|<\alpha$, and…

For a relative equilibrium of a symmetric simple mechanical system, if the Morse index of the corresponding amended potential is odd, whether the nullity is zero or not, it is linearly unstable. We also provide a sufficient condition for…

We consider the inverse problem of determining the metric-measure structure of collapsing manifolds from local measurements of spectral data. In the part I of the paper, we proved the uniqueness of the inverse problem and a continuity…

On a smooth manifold, we associate to any closed differential form a mapping cone complex. The cohomology of this mapping cone complex can vary with the de Rham cohomology class of the closed form. We present a novel Morse theoretical…

We prove that for every natural number k there are simply connected topological four-manifolds which have at leat k distinct smooth structures supporting Einstein metrics, and also have infinitely many distinct smooth structures not…

Let (M, g) be a pseudo Riemannian manifold. We consider four geometric structures on M compatible with g: two almost complex and two almost product structures satisfying additionally certain integrability conditions. For instance, if r is a…

Let $M$ be a graph manifold such that each piece of its JSJ decomposition has the $\Bbb H^2 \times \Bbb R$ geometry. Assume that the pieces are glued by isometries. Then, there exists a complete Riemannian metric on $\Bbb R \times M$ which…

We establish Morse inequalities for a noncompact manifold with a cocompact and properly discontinuous action of a discrete group, where Morse functions are not necessarily invariant under the group action. The inequalities are given in…
